Finally got back from thanksgiving, got my lift kit! Its sweet! Although slightly confusing... Anyway, ive got everything soaking in pb blaster right now, get it started tomorrow! Oh and got the paint finished on the tailgate. Thats the scheme for the whole thing, should look nice! Also here are the wheel spacers i modified. Speaking of wheels, i just picked up a set of super nice chrome wheels, and another jackman!

Got bored after school today so i decided to refinish the tailgate. I didnt remove any of the dents, but i did use aircraft remover to strip down most of the paint, amazing stuff btw, and used a wire wheel to get the entire thing down to bare metal. I couldnt get the subaru emblem off because the heads of the screws are 100% stripped, so i just taped it off. I have two coats of rustoleum automotive primer on it epright now, but it got cold enough so i could see my breath so im putting off doing the moss green until tomorrow, it will give the primer a chance to cure anyway.

looks like my grandma's old car! that thing ran for 375k miles without any maintenance! not even an oil change! yes i know, terrible way to treat a subaru... but still a testament to their quality

Got all patches done, riveted, and used body filler to seal them up. Sanded it down and bed-lined the whole interior, floors, roof, everything, used body filler on the dash, sanded it down and bedlined that too. Painted the trim pieces moss green. Almost done!! Im getting a set of 6 lug 15s to redrill and put atv tires on, anybody know how i can get some wheel spacers for the rear so i dont have issues clearing the control arm?
