The ***ALL NEW*** AUSubaru.com.au Forums

ok so i havent looked through the whole thread yet.
seems this one slipped past me, but what class are you plannign to run it in??
or arent you planning to run it anymore?? i cant fit it in anywhere for rally, cept maybe the new clubman but even then it would only just fit in

Yeah, im not too sure. RRR hopefully, or outlaws or something if they endup doing that. minor details.... lol

More work done on my ute in the last few weeks. I may be getting too picky, but i figure 'if ive done this much, i may as well', so its taking a while longer than illd like.

Thanks to the Subi Boyz for the replacement windscreen corner sections, muchos gracios. all went in without any major problems, although i had to beat them gently to get it to curve right, whilst lining up along the pillar. but all up, very happy with it, thanks again.

Ive also replaced the bar that runs under the rear windscreen, for attatching the harnesses to, as it wasnt straight, round, or attached very well. I used thicker wall tube and made it fit nice, just finished today, welding it in with the thicker 0.8mm wire, to get a good penetration and nice big, smooth welds, wich was fairly successfull.

still havent worked out how to fix the warping/bulging problem i made by patching the roof.


a few other bits and peices, but mainly working out the best way to strip the paint, probly to bare metal, without making a heap more work for myself...

pics soon

Did you use mild seamless for the rollcage repair?

Yeah, 33.6 od and 26.2 id. so nearly 4mm wall. almost 40 bux worth.

Appollogies for the number of pictures, just trying to show the steps involved.

I needed to replace the bottom corners of the windscreen (who doesnt) since there was bog and rust and other knarly stuff there. I started on the passenger side first, and took a heap of progress shots, but my trusty camera put old thumbnails over the right photos, so i deleted these 'old fotos':rolleyes:. I 'may' have over compensated for this just a little on the drivers side.

Thankyou to Rick, Ross and mostly Steve, the Subi Boyz, for hammering me out the replacement section, which was very close to perfect, with only slight manipulation of the passenger side, and a bit of hammering on the drivers side, to make it all line up sweet.

Thats all for now, its kind of up to date with where im at. what do u think?

Coming along Rohan.
I've got my doubts weather you'll get that new spreader bar past a scruiteneer as it's not supported by the main hoop.
Did you get some advice on that first?

no, i was just re-doing what was there, but better. if its guna be a problem, i should be able to join it to the main hoop. more work.
