So who has a set of 15" gravel tires I can buy on the cheap. Barett, I think you mentioned something about that. I am always looking for a reason to ride bachelor.

If someone else nearer PDX has some they would like to get rid of that might be all the better.

This weekend looks like good weather to get some of this stuff done. Time is moving so fast.

Thanks again.

How much difference in wheel base is there between the 2 and 4 door 240s?? Seem to find a lot more 4 doors and was wondering if it made that much of a difference.

No difference, although there seems to be disagreement as to the exact wheelbase, mostly rounding off differences.
Looking at Volvos now??
Get what's easiest, there's cheap ones all over.

Door length differences but a wheelbase differences would require a differnt stamping for the floor, thet's too much, cause the the roof and glass and everything would be different.
The minor differences the roadracer guys are splitting hairs over are inconsequential, as most things road racers yap about are.

JVL is on the money as usual. No difference between the 2 and 4 door at all (same applies for the 140 series).. the wagons are the same wheel base as well, and if you throw on a fibre glass hatch, they are about the same weight.

Looking at everything still... Wishing the next year would fly by and I would be gradutated with my bachelors degree and could actually buy something besides top ramen and rent.
