I live in New Zealand and it was realeased here as a Toyota GT86 first, and has been available for 6 months-ish. They have released the Subaru version now, but there is now so many Toyota badged variants on the road that Subaru are lacking in sales. IMO they should have released the Subaru first, after all the only Toyota parts are the fuel injection and the gearbox... Now all they have done is cost sales for the Subaru franchises. This whole "Scion" thing is new to me in this part of the world too, something we don't have here. Very interesting learning what it normal for you guys stateside... Just as a point of interest, I think they look quite cool but it seems they are piloted by middle aged men and women who can't park let alone drive! Oh dear.

Cool project, will follow this one!

Yeah thanks guys. I'm really happy with it! I have inherited it in a weird sort of way... It was bought new by my great uncle and his wife in Invercargill, New Zealand in 1978 and was owned by them all it's life. It was in my cousin's garage for 9 years after great uncle passed on, until last week when we serviced it and put some new tyres on and drove it. So no, not a central car KiwiGL. It looks great and is a ball of fun to drive. Few rusty bits here and there that I will tidy up over the next weeks or two and also have a freshly rebuilt EA71 to drop in next weekend to fix the oil/water issues it has. Only 102,000km travelled since new. I'll make it look a little tidier and do the transplant and do a bit of touring about I think!

Yeah mint. I'm actually from dunedin and come up every 3 weeks or so still. Did you see that mint Leone Coupe on trademe for about $1250 or so up there? Would be a great reliable classic starting point!

In the driveway...

Great! Fantastic to see another person with a 70's Subaru! Gotta love the old stuff!

I've got an old soob, and am further south than all of you! Hope you are all enjoying yesterday!!!

My Rolling Resto, will keep me occupied...

Very cool, love the overriders on bumper! I have a sedan the same but in dirty brown and 4 speed.
