710 cap painted black


Attachment 47513

Brake fluid cap painted need to do something with the clear plastic though

Attachment 47514

Thanks to mark cowdrey for them

Attachment 47515

Most get the cotton buds out though

Love the black ,green and gold as I like a bit of bling

Attachment 47516

Still lots to do though after a bit clean
Attachment 47517

I was going to get the alternator done in black untill
Locky the master sent me this ultimatum

Gold
Will tone in with cdf pullies ,washers and gold wheels and a nice contrast to the green

Green
Looks stunning but might be too much with the green Samcos and candy green plastics

Greenwagons 15th birthday

Attachment 47519

green FTW!!!

Engine bay clean up?....just a bit! Wow Very nice

Looking good there mate, 'green' with envy :lol1:

As my engine project has stalled I shall have to start again but in the meantime will be keeping an eye on yours :thumb:

I absolutely love this thread, great work done on the wagon there chap. Looking forward the the next update. :thumb:

There is 3 upgrades coming to the engine bay to complete it

Then

Then phase 2 arches and rust renovation Which will be Hugh and not pretty amd will scare people who want to buy an older Subaru

Phase 3 the full works underneath replaceing parts and powdercoating the rest going to be hard but Rob will be fired uo for the challenge
No one will see it but I will have some great mirrors and ramps to show it off :D

Phase 4 brakes and suspension Which will be intersting as well amd continue the wacky colour scheme that I love

I'm inspired by the 3/4 masters of the projects on scoobynet
( they know who they are on here ):D


Estimated Cost .......oops ....Er......we'll........Mmm.......

Three times what the car is worth right now
But hey it doesn't really matter in the end :D

I know one of them :lol1:

Looks lovely! I think the alternator in gold or maybe even red would suit nicely and add to the variety of colours.

Also does this have the PPP fitted?

Regards,

Subaru Collector 555.

Yes the polls have agreed on gold :D

Standard engine since new just decatted and always ran well
Just turned 65k miles
Never saw any need to upgrade the power as its always been fast enough for me as standard
Although Alan as AS performance put on some Eibachs springs and droplinks and bushes and braided brake lines 12 years ago

Thought I better update this thread after 19 months

Been busy as always
With the engine bay nearly finished I thought I had better get in with sorting the arches
At year 9 a slight bubbling as with all uk models and finally after 14 years thought I had better get it sorted

I can recomend Keith
Old school craftsman who specialises in old cars and I wanted more then just a bodyshop and seeing sme of his projects I knew I had the right man for the job

Well as it was all in bits thought I would treat myself to some new BC coilovers

And calipers refurbished and new pads and discs and complete new brake pipes painted in Kawasaki green
Thanks to rob at Stan palmers for supplying

That's a cracking colour scheme and gleam you've got there John.

Exhaust could do with a bit clean

Attachment 25621

Think Phase Four should start :D

Been shopping
Thanks to Rob at Stan palmers for getting me some nice new stuff


Hardrace 10 piece set

Attachment 25612

A bit of whiteline

Attachment 25613

Although not happy with the colour

Attachment 25614

These look nice in the gold

Attachment 25615

Might as well have these too :D

Attachment 25616

Seems a shame not to add these to the collection

Attachment 25617



Just not happy with the silver ARB bars though so maybe a bit of blue might help :D

Superb :notworthy

I'm with you on phase4 lord Harding :hjtwofing

I'm doing mine in next few months if you don't mind me asking how much was the rear arb holders as I need a set for mine ordering a link would be great thx:thumb:

I ordered the whole lot through Stan palmers as a job lot but when I was pricing up I found revolution at gateshead to be the most competattive

Got the new subframes front and back and wishbones along with loads of new nuts and bolts and bushes but the nice shiney black Didnt excite me
Also was not too keen on the silver colour of the ARB bars

So off to the painters it went with a sample of the hardrace to match up too:D
I was pleased when they came back
