ScoobyWorx Demo Car "COLOSSUS"
We have recently done some more work to the demo car and also decided to give it a name.
It now project "COLOSSUS"
Meaning : a thing of enormous size, importance, or ability
We now have make sure it lives upto its name
There is a thread we did before from previous years which i will list below. Some are a bit all over the place but there is plenty of what we did over the last 3 years.
Here is how it was when we bought it back in 2011, i had painted the bonnet center , and also painted the gold wheel anthracite but other than that as it was.
I then did a full strip and paint which took it to this.
You can see more of the work in more detail here: https://www.scoobynet.com/projects-4...ar-2014-a.html

Been a while on this again..........
But i now have a young apprentice helper
Progress has definetly started again.
We have started removing everything from the underneath of the car ready to prep for a fresh coat of sealer underneath. I didnt want to seal over everything or around anyhting so a bare shell is what we will work with. Its a perminant sealer the same as what dealers use non of the sticky underseal rubbish that is applied in the aftermarket that while does protect the underneath is just a messy product i cant stand myself.
Ours is a rubbery to touch fully curing coating which looks clean and fresh
More pics will follow.
Just the tank to drop and a few brake lines left. Then all wil be sanded rust treated and etch primed

Been a while since we have updated this thread. So here goes............................
We wanted to upgrade the rear ARB mounts and went for a Perrin Stout Mount. Excellent quality and looks nice behind the wheel as well. We found that the clamp which holds the ARB bush in place was thicker as the Perrin bushes supplied were around 4mm wider. Now we were using SuperPro bushes (as they are our sponsor) so i have to machine the brackets down 2mm off each side then powder coat them
Machined and coated ready to fit
Rear Suspension built back up, SuperPro ARB, Drop-links and Bushes. Perrin Stout Mounts with Modified Clamps for SuperPro Bushes. We found no bushes were available for the rear subframe from either Subaru or aftermarket manufactures so we did a tech drawing of what was needed and had them made ourselves. (SWRD REAR SUB FRAME BUSHES NOW AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE)
Powder coated Hubs and New Bearings also added.
Also gave the Brembo's a flash of new colour. Going to be running K-Sports eventually but these will suffice for now
