It has been an exercise in frustration; "oh...when you said 'clean' you meant the water pump was leaking and cleaning the engine", 'sips a little oil' means the RMS is hanging in tatters, cam seals are blown out and PCV is so clogged that the dipstick ejects when the engine gets up to temp. Sorry for venting, wish i could find a nice clean well documented car like yours down here :)
Aren't VA and NC in the same state???

Yep, a redneck state of mind! First order of business is fitting shotgun racks, changing to a dixie horn, then putting on some serious boggers for off-roading :O Actually I am going to need to find a set of third row seats nearby...

I have always meant to pass my 1999 charcoal grey third seat forward but I don't think it will fit the 1998...I would need a cover back of course, too.

I appreciate it abscate, if I have a reason to get up toward NYC I'll take you up on that. A thread on swede (http://forums.swedespeed.com/showthread ... stallation) seems to indicate that any v70/xc seat from 98-00 would work. JRL chimed in on that thread and didn't contradict the compatibility (and he's pretty meticulous about details!) so I think it might work. :)

I'll look into shipping but it would be much more fun to try to Milgram this to you.

I'll see if I can find a cover locally to replace as a starting point...Erie VoVo probably has one.

I can get this to PHL area easily as a first step.

I can see this turning into an episode of trains planes and automobiles...I'll end up driving to California because the seats ended up on a train after a taxi ride after being accidentally UPS shipped to... :)
