OOPS ... THE TITLE SHOULD READ GEN 3 .


As there is only Ross and myself now , we dont do the fancy stuff. So instead , we tidy up cars for people. Could say we are now the Subie Boy2 .

A friend of ours picked up a Gen 3 and we said we would give it a tidy up for him. This is the result..

We got it delivered to our place and started by giving it a good wash all over.

The Engine needed to be riped out and repaired. The usual head gasket problem.





Then the tear down.

The paint started to come off.

I'm looking forward to the next chapter in this subi's story!

Sorry to hear there's only two of you now. I guess all good things come to an end...

Cheers

What's happened to all the other boys?

As you say Bennie, things come to an end. But i am to passionate about subaru's to give up on them. Plus not doing it would drive us nuts.

Hey Paul, More pics to come. The wow factor was Steve, the easiest way to put it, he needed more than we were willing to give.

Next step , Box and diff out.

Coated the inside and under the car with a fresh coat of body deadner and then a coat of black paint.

Awesome!

Gonna enjoy watching this progress

We were lucky with this Gen 3. Most of the fancy stuff was already on it. Subextreme front and rear bars. 2 inch lift kit.

While waiting for the body deadner mixed with fish oil to dry, we went to our local wrecker to pick up a few items. Better roof linning, bits and pieces that were brocken and better door trims.

twin cup holder...cool

Is that for the rear? Reminds me, I need to replace mine...

Next in went the 4.44 CLSD diff and the forester centre diff lock box with a torsion STI lsd diff.

Once the engine got back, on went new clutch. Also replace a few otheing while it was out. Made life alittle easier .

Now time to prep everything for paint.

And through some color on the car.

OMFG !!! that looks awesome Rick *2 thumbs up* keep up the good work

That will be a great offroader with that combo

Hey Mate,

Have a better look at the paint pic ( masked up one). You will see paint on the top of the masked area , which should tell you the answer to you question. Lol.
