agreed a truly stunning build
makes mine look dirty and thats saying something

 

attention to detail is second to none, keep up the good work!

 

awesome, this must be costing you a fortune.

 

Latest update of the build, almost ready for some fuel and a fire up!

Managed to get the new engine plaque sorted, just need to stamp it with my build number.. should last longer than the original screen printed part it's stainless with burnt in laser etched text.

Also getting some tyre pressure stickers made will post some pics when done....

 

I love this built. Lovely work.

 

This build is on a whole new level!

 

Where did you get that plaque made? Could you pm me please really need one made for my p1 as mines faded

 

+1 on this, I need a new plaque mines had it.

Stunning build, I need to get this done to my P1

 

It's going to be a few months until I can get more made... but it can be done!

Cheers

Stuart

Yes, it's nearly done, fired up first time!

Jobs list is pretty small now-

Rear driveshafts to grease / fit
Fit front seats and door cards
Fit front screen!

Tracking and final polish at the bodyshop.

Will get some pictures up in a week or 2...

Cheers

 

Enjoy.

 

I love this build. Stunning!

 

Fantastic thread, and fantastic car, you deserve credit lad.

Health to enjoy

 

Love checking back in here from time to time. It's utterly wonderful.

 

Where do you get all the plating done on the metal work? So you have factory fresh gold looking color?

 

Its just zinc plating Jimmy...loads of places do it. I use a place in South End

 

Was done at EC Williams in Birmingham... 2 different processes cast and steel parts...

Price is about £50-60 a batch (large bucket full) larger items that may need suspending such as filler neck and uprights are done on a quote. Think every bracket and nut and bolt etc was around £300...

Cheers

 

cmon updates, not seen any pics of the completed car yet? inside n out please

 

Wheels are back on and calipers refurbished.. Will roll her outside next week
👍

Cheers

 

Great thread!

 

Speaking as somebody doing a full car restoration and rebuild but in a very different way and for different reasons I was just wondering what your end game is?

Are you going to use it? Show it? Or keep it locked away?

All worthy causes and you have done a great job but I can't help but think all the parts you are replacing will corrode back just like the old parts in a few years if you use the car much. Obviously if it's a show car or display car that's not such an issue.

Don't get me wrong its a work of art and maximum respect for paying Subaru many hundreds in over priced parts but I wouldn't want to drive it in the rain!
