I didn't; I just gave it a clean.

Another photo...I was really happy with the job they've done to the tailgate, and they have (it appears) even managed to keep my factory 1800 4WD sticker (see my display picture) which I was quite particular about.

I have a pair of Narva Ultima 160/115 lamps here which I was considering fitting to the front...however I don't want to ruin the look of the front nor do I want to affect air flow into the radiator too much. Comments? I probably won't put them on at this stage.

Also see my wanted thread here:

Anybody know where I can get a new "OK" sticker for my drivers' door? Doesn't have to be Subaru, I assume other Japanese auto makers used similar stickers at the time. This is how genuine I want to keep this car.

Keep an eye on your letterbox early next week, Damo... there is something that is super-overkill packaged heading your way as of this Tuesday gone.
Ute looks brilliant, even at it's "not ready yet" stage. My only thought about the lighting- if you're looking for a good improvement but don't want to go as far as fitting Narvas, try and find a halogen headlight assembly from a late 90s Hilux/Rodeo/Bravo/Courier and run the best globes you can get a hold of. Sealed beams are just plain terrible at night, even if you went through and redid all the relays and wiring.

Thank you!!
And thank you to all of you for your kind comments...I'm just waiting on a few finishing touches and then I'll post up a proper set of photos. The car now has Liberty seats in it, very nice and comfy, cheers SubaRute!

Has anbody got any suggestions about upgrades that I should consider doing to this car? I'm not interested in an engine swap. Also I've just discovered that a certain something won't be ready until after mid January, and I'd really rather not post photos until the thing is on the car.
When I do post photos I'll also detail some of my plans for this car...which I'm sure will get some people excited on here.

Hi all,
I'm so sorry it's taken me this long to get my act together with this project.
I am loathe to post pictures of the car until this stage of refurbishment is finished, however if it's still not ready after this week then I will just need to get over myself and post the pictures or it'll never happen.
Stage 2 promises to be even more exciting with some serious playing around under the bonnet...but I won't let the cat out of the bag yet.
Cheers.
PS
The car looks like it's just rolled off the production line!
