The next thing that needed to be done , was a tailshaft. Not only that, a set of rear drive shafts to suit the male diff.

While sorting them out, we put paint on all the other items and fitted the car out.

Fitting the car out with all the extras to work all the different parts Eg, Gearbox .Put forester front up rights on the gen 3 seats so there are arm rests. Sanding the clear coat back ready to be given a buff cut and polish.

Wow! You guys work fast! :P

The car looks good. I'm sure the owner will be very pleased with the outcome - or is it for one of you boys since the locking AWD box was dropped in?

Cheers

Looks sweet... reminds me to start building my rear bar. Oh I'd love a subaxtreme one but I have better things to spend 4.5k on. lol

It certainly will be very capable

Hey Bennie, Not for one of us. Our Gen 2's are not as set up, but not far off. But it doesnt matter how good the car is, it is the drivers capability in the end. Which reminds me, i need alot more practice.

Now for the finished product.

The write up is a very short summery of the build. There was alot of other things done, to make items all fit and work. Also it was not in line , time span wise , with the build. The write up was over about 4 days. The build took two to three months to do.

That's why I made the joke about how quick you guys work!

I bet the owner was "pretty happy" with the result! I'm surprised it's not blue

Thanks Bennie for reminding me . I thought i better clear it up . Just in case there was some one out there , that might think we were better than we are. LOL.

The owner is happy how it turned out.

I am sorry to say, the blue idea went out the window since the M.Y. sedan was done. I am the only one left with a blue on now , in the group.

I'm still blue at heart, might go back to blue one day. As they say once you go blue you never go back.
