So where to start. It started 2 summers ago when I got to drive Al Canucks 2002. From there on in I was hooked and had to get one. So last winter while I was overseas studying in Switzerland he put two and two together and found me a fabulous 2002(Thanks Al!) for a great price. And a great Legacy. So off we set late june last year to repatriot a 2002 that deserved to be returned to the Great white north... And thus the legacy of Carcar began.

Picking her up from Martin Meissner....

Some scenary from the way back.

So now she is home.
Since then she's only gotten new rear shocks(Thanks Chuck!) Driving lights, New transmission mount, Heaterbox rebuild, New(sloppy seconds) interior with recaros, wool headliner, wool squareweave, door panels. Various tune up bits. Floor pans(hence the interior) and fixed all that was wrong. 320is steeringwheel.

Coming up very soon is a complete suspension bushing replacement.

Plans call for Turbo flares, euro bumper conversion, m20 and a lot more fun....
I've just begun.

Don't keep last summers drive in mind. Just wait till I let you behind the wheel on Quien Sabe! She has a lot more uumph now! Some better tires and some functioning shocks out back. And she's getting all new bushings so it should have a very nice ride to it. The headliner install I didn't do myself since I am local to Al Canuck. That being said I would estimate a headliner install once you get all the windows out to be a moderate job. It just takes a lot of patience but if you can get it done by a professional I would say its worth the few extra bucks!

We charge about 6 hours to install a headliner, plus glass work. Al _________________ 67 1600 77 630csi 81 323i 68 VW Bug 06 Volvo V50

What Al forgot to say was:
