Zelda the 1303S.

I miss this piece of shit.

If there's anything I've ever learned...

Never sell your Bug.

You'll always regret it. When my family sold the '74 1303 it sucked, I missed the hell out of that car. Thankfully I was able to buy it back.

Yes, yes it was.

But, the Subaru should get some loving in the next two/three months.
So good.

Zelda was picked up last night.

No more Zelda. Was a sad sad day.

Here's some photos of the strip/teardown and the goodbyes.
All from the Instagram's unfortunately. Sorry!

The RS's were the first thing to be taken off.


Back into the shed.


Front suspension being ripped out.





Old suspension put back in but chopped the springs.



Last photo of Zelda to ever be taken in my driveway.



And on the trailer. Sad moment was sad.



So starts a new phase of my life with a Subaru '99 GC8 Impreza. I'll be starting a build thread shortly. Have some plans for her already.

This is a great build! Love it; but I'm sad to see it go so soon

[Smeeeb]

A single tear was shed that day.

[SebastienPeek]

Life must go on, right?
I have decided to part out the bug and start with something a bit newer.

The wheels are up for sale already over in the Australian for sale thread.
I'll be pulling her apart tonight and that's that.

Just read your thread man, from where you started, then copping the set back sweet when it was vandalised to what you have already acomplished is pretty damn sweet, and good to hear when people said give up on it you kept going, I had people laugh at me when I sold my clean Commodore to buy my type 3 unregistered but now Iv got it registered theyv piped down a bit

Your car looked the tits at ILV, i wanted to come say hi but i had no idea who anyone was.

Thanks man!
I was the one with the dubkorps x rotiform black shirt on

nice work man! its great to see fellow Aussies doing cool shit with older cars.

I know a bloke up here in sydney who has a Subie powered Beetle. Orange and i think wide bodied. He had a yellow one a few years back, i think porsche powered with porsche wheels and gear.

Theres plenty of potential left in the old beetle

I think I know who you're talking about. I'd love to go Suby, but I have been swayed to stay with aircooled. Upgrading to a 1916cc in the coming weeks.

Id have to say, this looks good!
Black bonnet and all!

Thanks!

Spent the last weekend over in Melbourne.
Took her to her first show with the new wheel setup. Got quite a bit of love which was great!

Got there and back with no problems.
New front bumper has arrived. Will be installing that tonight.

New plan is to fix this bug now. Will be able to do more stuff from home too if I'm allowed garage space.

There's also another big thing in the pipeline for her. Can anyone say, EJ22?

[SebastienPeek]

Went for a quick drive to get some photos of the current status. The photos aren't the best but I was in a rush.

Bonnet has been painted matte black. No more orange. Just a spray can job for now.



Front bumper has been stripped of the white paint and is now ready to be polished and have the black strip installed to match the rear.



Need more rear camber.
