World Rally Blue fever and more!
 

This is my thread on my LGT, WRX and GC Chassis. I have been into Subarus for a long while. Here's a quick history of where I started.

The Legacy in beginning stages.

It started out as a 2005 Legacy GT Limited wagon. It's 5 speed manual version with full leather interior. Pretty nice until WRB bug hit me again. Again is because WRB is what my past WRX wagon was.

Remember: Always cut out quarter glass when doing anything like this, it is for cleaner overall results. If you don't you risk having a clearly visible line of color shift and clear coat being thin at cutoff where the molding sits.

Assembly stage! It's quite a task, everything was taken apart, prepped and painted. It's time to assemble the big lego set.
DAY 1 Progress! Everything is disconnected and must track all items and remember where things went in sequence!

I could see your love for Subaru's and WRB. Man that's a lot of Suby's you got there.

When I find the JDM spec B bumper, I will upgrade. For now my current rendition of a Spec B wagon is pretty close! Took me 6 months to find the tail lights and reverse light panel!

I usually just go to Sum's garage when I need parts... :lol:

Same here. Been knowing sum for a long time now. Any questions I have for my subaru I usually ask him. Good luck with projects bro.

Updated 7/4/2012
Installed cleared out headlights, JDM Reverse lighting Panel
