el_freddo Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 For weight distribution you’re almost better off putting a quality fuel cell behind the front seats in the foot wells. Im loving the bracing work. My L series could do with this! Although if I tightened up the rear end like this the rest of the body would probably take up more of the body flex and create other issues… Cheers Bennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My green Impreza is a little front heavy though, plus putting the fuel tank in the tire well will be easier to slap a piece of sheet metal over for more fire/leak protection. Excellent point about the bracing. Certainly a valid concern, guess we'll see what happens. On the blue Forester in particular the LR strut tower appears to have been replaced in a crash and we've already had to weld it several times.

pontoontodd Posted November 13 Author Share Posted November 13 (edited) Video from our trip to the UP June 2022. Plan to catch up on these over the winter. Edited November 13 by pontoontodd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontoontodd Posted November 15 Author Share Posted November 15 (edited) Video from our trip to Minnesota (a little bit in northern WI on the way) August 2022. Decent trail riding but overall not as good as the UP, even more mosquito infested, and farther from home. Plenty of beaver dam breaking opportunities though. Next one will be our trip out west October 2022. Probably the most scenic trip we've ever taken. Might take a while to edit that one, got a good amount of video that week.

travelvw Posted Friday at 09:52 PM Share Posted Friday at 09:52 PM Nice to see a rear bumper on yours and a rear strut tower bracing on B's that continues to come apart due to rust and wreck. Thanks for taking the time to edit and post these Mr P Todd! K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K I'm sure the way we drive these cars has nothing to do with the strut towers coming apart, definitely just the rust and previous crash damage. You're welcome Mr T VW!
