awsome car there mate, i know the colour has been mentioned but can you tell me the colour code please?

 

56B Subaru Paint Codes

currently cheesed off at not being able to drive it with interior out for cage fitment and not sure when I will have time to complete the cage install fully yet can find time to fit seats and dash etc.. so considering postponing the cage fitment.. as I w3ant to drive the damn car!

Simon

 

Looking good Simon!

looks as though it's going to be a beast once complete!

 

Complete? that will never happen.. there is always the next stage etc..

Simon

 

Isnt there allways another stage Simon, come to think of it it must be atleast a couple of months since ive seen you, better pull my finger out and change something

Hope you have had a good Christmas mate

 

lol.

hope you did too!

Simon

 

managed to get the momentem to actually work on it tonight.. damn cold and ice on the outside and inside of the car.. but front section of cage is now in and dash back where it should be and trimmed around cage etc..
I ended up removing a lot of trim that I hadn't intended removing.. but what the heck.. less weight

Hoping to get a bit of time on it tomorrow and refit the rear section of the cage as I removed it to give more space to fit the front and get the dash bolted in and seats back in etc.. think the battery has gone flat too so will charge that as I really want to drive the car tomorrow.

Undecided whether to refit carpet or not at the moment.. also whether to cut rear seat to go around cage or fit just a rear bulk head..
when swirl pot is running with external pump I intend fitting a bulk head either carbon or ally.. but whether with seat or not I am not sure.

will take some pictures in day light

Simon

 

well its daytime !!!

wheres them pics !!!!

 

had a nightmare getting the rear section back in.. was easy last time.. it is now in.. spent all my time getting back section in.. taken some pics but nothing major.. may get interior back together later.

Simon

 

Dont bother putting interior back in.

Saves time and lightweight

 

If it were me; I would remove all the sound deadening and insulating material from the moulded carpets and then put them back in. Then I would fit a solid bulkhead and then carpet it along with the rear bench

 

I need something to sit on

 

the carpet is actually quiet light..

not sure about carpetting rear bulk head but could do

 

dash bolted back in, door cards back in.. centre consol back in along with stereo, boost controller, neetronics controller and all the other stuff you forget about just need to sweep and fit carpet and seats.. although still have the welding to do so might just fit one seat.. either going to borrow a welder in the week or just drop it at mates workshop and get him to do it.. lol

number of wires under the dash which either do nothing or I haven't traced them to see if they are actually needed.. I see a tidy up coming.

Simon

 

unfrotunatly fotopic is down so no pictures..

but floor cleaned and tidied and new (to the car) black carpet now in.. getting there, the black carpet looks so much better than the uk grey one it had in it.

Simon

 

Get an account on photobucket.com JGM, faster n better imo.

 

what I fitted

getting there slowly




Simon

 

Looking Good Simon, I've not been on s'net much for a while so kinda lost touch with the going's on.

Keep up the good work.....(I'm currently off work with bad back LOL!!!!)

 

Looking good Jolly

 

back together.. some more panels to remove and some to add back in but left at the workshop tonight to do welding tomorrow..

Had a fantastic drive in the car this evening.. bit lively in this weather

door bars are fairly easy to get in and out over




some paint touch up needed on the cage but will do that when I paint all the welded bits etc



Simon

 

jumping off the waldrobe or polishnig that car?

hope it returns to normal soon

 

Looking good Simon!

 

thanks

 

Looks quality Simon, I think ill have to book another map tweak in so I can have a look.

 

lol

 

ive waited all this time,, thats all the pics we get !!!

looks good,, from the LITTLE amount of picys you have shared !!!

 

sorry..

not touched it.. too cold.. need to sort the welding.. had planned to sort and change the front bumper Friday but the sister-in-law decided to have her baby so I looked after kids and wife was helping her sister etc..

Will be using it this week as clocking up too many miles on my evo..
so small jobs will get sorted and rest of interior stripped etc..

the donar engine has moved but I haven't stripped that either.. doh

Simon
