I like the license plate, i've never seen how people do the divorced t case thats really interesting. Since there is a diff up front does the tranny go behind it? I realize how much I don't know about this type of mod but now im curious. Nice wagon bro

I remember seeing a diamond edition gl for sale in Evergreen, Colorado a couple years ago, the body was so rotten though.

Aww yes thy right side of the map. I had a step dad type character that was from there, he used to being back this homemade maple syrup that was pretty awesome, he was a wongleflute, but the syrup? Delish!

Dang sucka! Nice work man, Are you up in the northwest?

Took it for a spin around the block after work, after -22 degrees it fired right up and just purred. That's a beautiful thing my friends!

That light bar turned out really nice, is it possible to add another headlight in each one? It'd look pretty badass and be super bright with quad headlights right?!

This is me (Levi) my 2.5 yr old monster man Gage and my dog Bean in the very back. One of the first cruises around the block with the swap done. Gage loves it. He tries to imitate the sound of the exhaust and its just too damn cute.

Nice troubleshooting! Whats next for the wagon?

Someone gave you the brat? That's happiness brother haha. On a side note every time I see Brat I think bratwurst and call them bra-w-ts in my head. It'd be cool to build a real monster of a brat that looks dirty, mean and loud and call it the BRAT-WORST haha.

Yes sir, I became hooked when the first loyale I bought developed a hole in the exhaust after the Y pipe and let that glorious exhaust sound out, I thought holy crap that sounds awesome so a sawzall was recruited to tweak it a bit more, now 8 subies later im even more addicted haha,nice brat by the way rattle can camo is the best paint job ever!

Uberoo, i wish I had a plasma cutter that would've been awesome. I did however have a portable torch set made by Lincoln and sold at home depot at least thats where I got mine. I filled the acetylene tank which was only a 10lb and started torching. Man, it did not go too well at first because my torch tip was screwed up and by the time I bought another I had used up too much gas. I was able to at least get about halfway through and used my grinder to finish it up. Seriously though I'd rather start buying pieces from people bit by bit and just have fun putting it all together next time ha. Except the wiring harness I really enjoyed doing that.

I love the work so far, thats a great lookin wagon. I was driving around earlier and seen a really decent one in my neighborhood thats been sitting for awhile. I'd love to find a 5 speed wagon in good shape and lift it and convince my wife that it is absolutely necessary to keep...thats the toughest job of all. I'll be checking back often, good luck!

Won't start with the new coil? If you put the OE one back on will it start up?

Thats interesting, I wonder if they make one for the EJ22? I'll have to look into that. Thanks!

I used 13" brat wheels on an 85 GL once and couldn't get the front wheels to clear the stock calipers, theyd barely hit...so I got the grinder and grinded off the edge of the caliper so the wheels would fit, then painted them with some rustoleum and it worked great, never had a problem.

I love it! 65' the first year of the twin I beam suspension if i remember right. Those style trucks have the best body lines and that 300 is one of the best engines ford ever made. We will keep an eye out, just sucks that most of them around here (colorado/wyoming) are rotten from road salts back in the day.

That Ford truck in the background looks pretty sweet too what year is it? My dad had a 64' F100 shortbed that he swapped in a 455ci olds engine in it when I was a kid and it was badass. Im still on the hunt for one that me and my son cam have fun with. Nice hatch man, good luck with it!

Thanks, that outback had no rust anywhere which was awesome, what is the advantage of the msd coil kit?

I had a 99' Outback that I bought from a real sleeze who owns a subaru repair shop in Lakewood, CO and when he sold it to me I noticed the headlights would dim when I pressed on the brakes, I checked the battery and he had installed some off the wall tiny battery from who knows what, maybe a atv? Haha. It was amazing it worked, I went to advance and bought the correct battery for the car and it fixed that problem. Just my 2 cents.

Love the outback thread, I wish I could've kept mine but we had to finish remodeling our kitchen and we needed the money. Someday I will get another one and I will be keeping an eye on your thread, you've done a great job man, can't wait to see more!

Dude, the white one did too! It reminded me of a disgusting weathered thong cause it went all the way up the hood in a thong shape like a V it was amazing! Haha

I was cruising back from an elevator way way out in Torrington, Wyoming and decided to drive through a small town because I had seen some old cars. There were a couple of torino gts so I thought I'd take a closer look, there was this little white beauty sitting in the yard! No rust I could see and complete. I left a note saying I'd buy it if they ever wanted to sell it but the place looked abandoned. There was also a loyale there, i'll put a pic up of that too. What a waste.

John thanks for pointing that out, I should've been more specific, I meant replacing the coolant hoses haha. You mean taking out an entire dash isn't an easy fix? Well I guess if you dont use a sawzall and hammer like when I took the harness and ecu out of both legacy donor cars for swaps its not easy to get to.
