No... It's a LONG way off and likely won't ever be "done."


plans for now....

1. get the motor/tranny engine bay painted
2. get the motor in the car and get it back on the road.
3. Finish the body work. Started shaving the doors. Decked it. Shaved the antenna. Need to do the hood. Get it in paint.
4. Install front disc brakes. My new custom springs for the front. Have the rear leafs rebent and install my new bolts and blocks. (2.5 lower front and rear)
5. Heat insullate/sound deaden the floors and roof. New carpet kit. Paint the dash and doors.

Hopefully all that will be done in the next 3 months.


After that I'm doing a fatman drop spindle front end. Another 4 inch drop in the front. Notch in the back. Front and rear bags. Full interior.

Hopefully all that will be done by this time next year. Interior might take longer. Not a skill I possess....haaa.

But yeah it should be on the road and looking good in 3 months. Bagged in 9. Big project.

Right now it looks like ***. Motor in the garage. Car covered in dirt. Etc.

^ yes indeed, Aspen White is sooooo JDM...everytime im attacking an offramp im looking for the BestMotoringInt'l cameramen!

i put, and guess i was the only one "i dont care about my paint"

But obviously if i was given the money to paint it, it would be a dark green, Acadia Green Factory color IIRC.

me as well. SWP is the sickest color ever introduced to planet earth by Subaru. I would trade my Java Black Pearl for Satin White Pearl any second.

I'd probably change it to urban grey metallic or better yet, my dream hue of silvery blue by repainting my GC quartz silver metallic. I always wanted a deeper silver or gray car. If not, man, I'm cool with satin white pearl or *cough* Honda Type-R championship white.
