My "new" TE

Allright, I have finally taken pictures of my "new" '89 TE. I have been working on getting it dialed in since the night I got it a few weeks ago. Mine is in great shape with real leather and the third seat, although it has less wood than my 400E. I have added Mobil 1 oil, new cap and rotor/spark plugs, Euros clear corners, Bi-Xenon HIDS (6000k), Factory Mudguards, HD Bilstein Shocks, Michelin X-ice winter tires, Alpine CD with ipod and Sirius, 15" sub with audiobahn amp, and infinity speakers.

As much fun as the 400 was, I love this wagon, I really really like having all that space that can be used in so many ways... now I just have to get the rear suspension fixed... It rides fine, it is just that it doesn't seem to rise all that well when under load... I bled the system and there was lots of "air" bubbles in the oil... maybe my accumulators went bad? I was quoted for $70 per side for the accumulator units... this seem fair for wholesale cost?
