Thanks for that Brumby Kid, but we do our own decals. There's a few people selling original style and modified decals on eBay now. Some are overpriced, some are bargains. Thankfully we don't need to resort to that, and wait ages for them to be delivered...
On top of that, the ones available online are not armour glazed like ours are (anti vandalism coating).

Hey Foghorn,Foghorn wrote:Hi Guys, Awsome Job,
I am only new here and have just read through the whole thread and am in awwwww
But i have noticed that it must be going on 3 years to do the rebuild so i am wondering what sort of money is this thing gonna end up costing when it is all finished ???
Welcome to the forum. As for the cost, the cost is only for parts only , and a couple of dollars here and there to put towards power . We are doing it labour free. Cost to this point , ( Eg , today ) should be around $ 7,300 . Still a few costs to come yet. Mainly little costs here and there. Eg. bolts that broke when removing due to rust, clamps that were the same, thinners and prepsol and sand paper for the small paint jobs such as the front bumper that was just finished, any plugs , tape , clips etc for any electrical work still to be done. Yep, it never seems to end.

Notice the custom mounts for the top of the OME shocks in the back? Legend has it, that Steve chewed up a barbecue plate with his own teeth to make those.

Thanks Frog. Just trying to put some thought and common ,, or should i say , uncommon sense into what we are doing.FROG wrote:sensational attention to detail - I love and admire it
I will be impressed if you do
I will be impressed if a bar is made as good as , and be up to the quality and function ability as these are. Dont get me wrong , i am not saying it cant be done, i bet it can, but it will take a good person, with some major ability that will be the one,to do it.

Anyone that can, and wants it, should go ahead and build something better than i have for this car. I made up what was required and desired for the build. I could do far fancier and extensive fabrications, but it's about making the right part for the right purpose.
As for having the time, my own car needs lots of work and my other one was supposed to be on the road months ago. But too many things being on my plate means some things take longer to accomplish than what we want. On top of the constant Subaru designs and fabrication, I'm also building two go-karts, a flying fox, and other things. It would be quicker if I could just buy the parts I need, but having to make a large centrifugal clutch, planetary gearbox, braking components, steering parts and other bits and peices from sratch all takes time. Especially slow progress when all the machining and forming is done with an angle grinder, drill press, welder and a hammer. But having kids means more trouble than you could imagine, otherwise condom sales would affect the stock exchange more...

How the he'll did you get those ratty old mud flaps to come up like that? When I saw Ross starting to clean them up the other day, I honestly thought it was a lost effort. They came up a million bucks, top work!
Funds came through yesterday to finish off the remaining bits and pieces. Will give you guys a ring when I know I will have wheels.
