Word? Ever go to the Sonic meet in Bloomington on Wednesdays? Me and my gf will be there in my CRX daily driver. You should find us, I kinda look like Jesus and she looks like a teenager.

Subscribed because A. From Minnesota and B. Sick wagon, I love it. Can't wait to see what you do to it!!

Thanks man, well given that I work at MAPerformance, I got a free EJ205 block with a rod knock in the boot so I intend on stuffing goodies into that.

Got my Loyale corner lights on, I don't know.... I kinda like the GL-10 corners better... I thought I had a picture but I guess I will have to take one when I get home.

The GL-10 corners have a complete Orange side reflector where as the Loyale ones have a 1" clear edge with a smaller orange reflector.

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

I kinda like the early GL corners better too.

Progress is looking good!

[lublub]

Subaru wagons are awesome. Can't wait to see what you do to this...

Thanks guys, its just a matter of time to work on it, My gf and I just got an 88 Accord for a winter beater for November when it snows so that makes 4 cars now haha

[j3wman]

got some more OEM Subaru Parts to get the Turbo in and to get the hoodlatch fixed, now I just gotta dick with this stuck screw holding the latch in.

[Tortellini]

This wagon is so quirky, i love it!

[j3wman]

haha thanks, it took me a year to REALLY fall in love with it but they're really cool.

Had a come up at a the junkyard a little while ago. Got actually crack free corner lights, fresh oil cap, for free.

Then I paid for the bumper filler to replace my dented rusty turd status one oh and this:


A Subaru XT6 steering wheel, Im gonna try to nab the hubs and seats out of it this weekend if I got time.

but I got this ALL FOR $20!

sorry for the digital noise, thats a terrible photo.

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

Aww yeah, XT steering wheel!

You're making me miss my old Loyales!

[j3wman]

There's a secret junkyard here with a loyale a gl and an xt6

[j3wman]

Gonna be posting more pictures of progress later tonight

[double_oh_9]

Holy shit that steering wheel is tits, i love this thing. The guards know i'm with the Thieves Guild, so if it comes up missing, you know

[j3wman]

Sorry about the wait on the pictures and even more sorry about the phone pictures.

Got my spoiler properly stripped, this gross rubberized coating came off in a sort of primordial sludge...


I got it off though, I thought about keeping it polished but I found a dent in it which would be a hell of a lot more apparent if it was polished. So on came the primer for paint.


After some good polishing with my 150 grid pad, a 300 grit piece of paper and finally some 1000 grit, I laid down paint. Going to try to get the clear coat done tonight then a wet sand.


Turbo is bolted back in as well, might get a custom oil feed line made because this rubber one is binding and worrying me so the next update might involve that, I also am in the market for some Miata coilover sleeves that'll fit over OEM struts if anyone has some.
