So it's time for me to unload everything, and I mean everything.
All my VW stuff including the logbooked, zero rust mk2 shell with spares package, and all the stuff to assemble into an absolute riot of a car. My ej207v8 bugeye wrx wagon. My 91 Passat wagon TDI (fugly car, great swap, and surprisingly fun to drive)
and... all my fabrication tools and equipment. 3'x8' welding table. 80 (or 100?) gallon two-stage air compressor, etc, etc, etc.

You get it... Everything 👏 must 👏 go 👏

As I get individual listings authored, they will appear there.

I'd like to give rally folks first dibs on anything I have for sale, and with that, all I ask is not to be treated like carrion by anyone who's interested in buying.

I've decided to sell my Audi Allroad.
It's a 2017 top-spec model.

Selling our 2002 Subaru WRX Wagon (bugeye).

Forgive the details, I'm certainly going to be forgetting some stuff.

It comes with a
* 60k/mi ej207 v8 w/ twinscroll turbo & runs the Japanese 16bit OBD1 ecm, appropriate factory quality wiring hardness changes were made,
* Stainless downpipe & 3" full exhaust (quality companies, not enthusiast junk)
* Spec C UK cluster (mph w/ center tach) & spec C steering wheel (no cruise stalk) imported from England that match engine's mileage within 1-2k.
* proper traction control cut switch,
* custom semi-tubular triangulated subframe & core support w/ oversized radiator, front-mounted oil cooler, and solid 3/16" 6062 reinforced skid plate.
* superpro STI alloy control arms w/ increased caster
* KYB AGX dampers and proper springs,
* heavy duty bushings/mounts everywhere (rubber where best used),
* cobb tall short shifter & bushings are very precise,
* oil pressure/temp & air fuel / boost guages attached to instrument cluster,
* brand new Exedy clutch installed at Andrewtech
* nice air/oil separator setup,
*silicone hoses w/ custom fitmets where appropriate
* piston type GFB diverter valve, and all sorts of other bits to make it very very reliable.
* quicker/shorter 2005 STI steering rack.
* tuned at TurboXS in 2019... Initially went to see a fu***ng moron of a tuner at [redacted local popular subaru shop] but they took my money and left me with a car that would barely drive... TurboXS then came through and fixed everything giving me a very smooth and powerful tune.
* comes with wide sedan fenders, and 2005 hood scoop to work with the ej207v8 intercooler. air diverter thing under the scoop, and turbo heat shield with a vent pipe also come on the car.

wheels:
three sets of wheels
* 17" RPF1's w/ summer/autocross tires,
* stock 16s w/ bridgestone winters tires
* 15" team illuminata gravel wheels w/ DMACK DM2 195-50/15 gravel tires.

It needs paint and has a crack in the windshield. Front bumper is brand new from dealership, and not yet painted.

I can sell everything as is... or painted with a fresh windshield and aesthetically 100% (with a deposit of course).

The gravel and winter wheel/tire setups can also be sold separately.

I don't know what's fair, so I'm going to start with asking 16k as is, or 20k painted and 100% aesthetically sorted. OBO of course.

So it's time for me to unload some stuff. We haven't had the time or excess funds to do much motorsports-wise since before covid... and I think it's best I put everything up for sale. This is difficult to make comprehensive, but there's an entire car, plus spares, plus I'll sell parts if someone wants a gearbox, motor, seats, suspension, spare doors, etc.

Here's a small photo dump, it's not the easiest to price some things separately or collectively, but if you want stuff, we can work something out. I would love to sell everything as a single lot, of course.

Introducing Bendy McBenderson. Currently setup for 40ton, but has a 60ton capacity. Now just need to decide what color to paint it tomorrow. This build might be Overkill for just bending a few 6061 T6 skid plates, but I think it'll do a fine job.

I still need to add two more helper springs to keep the top die from hanging too low.

If you need any custom bending, or skid plate fabrication... PM me.
