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.
Transition stage:
Prepping primer stage for blocking down whole chassis.
WRB Base and clear!!
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!
DAY 2! Power options are functional!
WRB Sedan build! It's an automatic sedan. Why? I don't know? I never bought one before but a Type RA transmission will reside in it soon!!
Multicolored 1993 LX sedan! Totally gutted now, front and rear windshields have been cut out and interior is little to none. All ready for a trip to bodyshop!!! This will be my second RHD build, stay tuned!
Humble beginnings:
Transition stages:
Current stage:
-------------------------------------------------------------------PAST BUILDS-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was my WRX wagon before in transition stages:
This is how it looks currently today but in the hands of my good friend who is also on the forum.
This was my previous PSM sedan:
This was my previous RHD build: Full function 95 OBS that transformed from a multicolored beast to a pretty dope Pogi-wagon.
Transition stage:
Final Stage: Currently owned by my other friend in bay area.
Previous Subaru coupe and sedan:
The 1998 black 2.5RS Coupe
The L sedan build: From White to WRB!

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!

Updated 7/4/2012
Installed cleared out headlights, JDM Reverse lighting Panel
This is how I did the WRX lip install:
Distinction between Zenki and Kouki (JDM) lighting panels is the full silver line and the upgraded bright red LED and halogen lamp design.
Here's a picture of lighting function: Kouki model
