June 2, 201015 yr Author What you call rust there in WA is nothing compared to what happens here in WI - gauranteed! Lost my old GL wagon to the cancer that was so bad we were afraid she would break in two going over the RR tracks! Engine only had 265K and was still going strong. Still miss the old girl! (was my first) In the middle of tinting my Lego's windows - using a heat reflective (67%) limo black (5%) - looks pretty cool and helps keep the interior a bit cooler as well! (already has a power sunroof ) I have lost 1 vehicle to rust, and another is on the way, fortunately not any of my subaru's yet. But I live about 1500 feet from this:) Edited June 2, 201015 yr by T'subaru
June 2, 201015 yr Oh man - that's beautiful! I hate you again! altho - i did kind of like living more inland - the Cascades on one side, the Olympics on the other...and mostly rust free cars! but that was many years ago - now my view is of corn & hay fields...*sigh*

July 11, 201015 yr Author Not to much has happened lately with all the weekends Ive been working but I made a little progress this weekend. Cleaned the interior up a bit and installed a manual pedal box Ran across this at a wrecking yard in "new" condition and the right color:) Recently added electric mirrors, interval wipers and I have a tilt column to install once my harness and ecu arrives...
September 6, 201015 yr Author Well it been a while since ive updated but heres whats been happening with my wagon. Ive installed carpet and soon door cards from a GL wagon, received a set of pug lugs to run the 15" alloys and L discs at each corner ( for now ) installed longer brake hoses to retain all the stock anchor points for the lines after lifting it, and picked up a rear tire carrier, once I locate a straight rear bumper I plan on pulling the cover and installing a mount/pivot point for it. Soon to receive some big items for the build, and no more na 5 speed behind the ej20g.
November 20, 201015 yr Author A little update as parts are starting to come in.. Ive aquired wrx drivetrain for my wagon, from starter to rear lsd complete, ill be running a wrx turbo trans, 5 spd with a 4:11 rear lsd ( big big thanks to Suberdave ) behind my ej20g. I also aquired an '04 wrx pedal box to allow install of the clutch hydraulics. wrx / ea82 hybrid axles and an 04 wrx pedal box more good stuff on the way, all i need is time and some decent weather:grin: Mark

December 17, 201015 yr Where were you able to source a complete AWIC kit? I would have asked when you were up here, but the rain was nuts!
December 17, 201015 yr Author Where were you able to source a complete AWIC kit? I would have asked when you were up here, but the rain was nuts! haha, nuts x 4 Galen. This came from Australia. These set ups went to Au, UK and Japan markets as far as I know.
May 1, 201114 yr Author Nice weather finally, and being layed off its time to start up on my wagon again. Today I installed a wrx pedal box. I made a template for the clutch m/cly mount. Drilled the firewall and installed the m/cyl, good news is I dont have to reroute my speedo cable the wrx acc pedal and linkage is seperate from the pedal box, and when compared to the ea82 pedal box its longer and doesnt have the same travel So I sectioned the 4eat pedal box it origionally had to use the ea82 acc pedal and linkage And everything installed with the ea acc pedal overlaid on the wrx pedal box Edited May 1, 201114 yr by T'subaru
May 2, 201114 yr Author Today I installed some gl interior stuff I picked up last summer. While at it I put in mdx speakers in all 4 doors and new lock cylinders all around to match a tilt column thats going in after the harness mod. before after
May 2, 201114 yr This car is B-E-autiful! And I'm guessing on that harness that "earth" is the ground? That's cute... haha. And I know it was forever ago but... Nomad Brad... I understand you live in Boise and whatnot... but up here in North Idaho we're STILL getting snow... I pity you that you were caught off guard by snow! I love snow! That's what makes subies so much fun! Back on topic.... Subscribed! - keep up the good work! Interior looks awesome!
May 3, 201114 yr Author Today ill start installing the drivetrain. Im installing a wrx 5 speed, rear diff and axles. Im using the ej center section combined with xt6 front and rear cross members. I ran across an add in craigslist yesterday. A guy had bought a new '07 wrx and within 2 weeks had a performance shop install a full cobbs system. He boxed up his stock stuff and had it in storage up until yesterday. It was free for the pickup and should work well on my wagon with a little modification.
