Project Car Hell returns: Meet the Subaru WRX Wagon and a Packard engine update

from The Autoweek Podcast Hosted by Autoweek

On this episode of the “Autoweek Podcast,” host Rory Carroll navigates a trip into project car hell with Wesley Wren, Wes Raynal and Graham Kozak. The gang dives deep into their respective project cars and gives some insight into what it’s like for them to maintain their projects. Kicking off the show, Wes talks about his reliable Alfa Romeo. After a few minutes of talking about Italian reliability, Rory chimes in with his new project: a Subaru WRX wagon. Podcast devotees will be familiar with the WRX Wagon debacle, but Rory gives a quick refresher to those who aren’t. He outlines his plans for the car and how it fits in with his other projects. Graham jumps in with an update on his Packard straight-eight engine refresh and talks us through the serviceability of the mammoth Packard engine. This also shows Graham’s shift into patient wrenching, which is more soothing than frustrating. Closing the show, Wesley talks about having to move his 1954 Ford out of long-term storage because of a series of unfortunate events. That means there will be an ill-advised road trip in the podcast’s future.
