Thanks for writing that up. All that (and that result) for $4000? How much for the shop space and tools to make it happen?

This is my favorite generation of station wagons (esp. the Vista Cruisers), after the 4-door hardtops in the 60s

I may have missed anything you said about the hitch. Did it come stock? Receiver or not? I ask because there are a lot of ecomodders who are interested in hitches and hitch accessories.

Like receiver mounted boat tail boxes. Is the lower gate side-hinged? Have you considered a collapsible boat tail hung on that?

I run 50-series front tires myself; but the trend seems to be taller and narrower with the same contact patch (BMW i3).
