October 26, 201015 yr So since most of the stuff Ive been doing on my Subaru has been with Rick (GD) I havent really posted on here... But heres an update so far: Needs: Carb work (GD has this covered) Electrical Gremlin (GD has this covered too) *Im eating fuses for my coil* Alignment (November) Tags (November) Tune-Up Done so far: New Alternator Axle Boot (EJ22 Swapped) Tires/Wheels from 155s to 185s Clutch cable rerouted correctly Ball Joint replaced Shes running great and smooth, still doesnt like to stay alive on start-up when its cold, but that should be solved by a new Carb.
October 26, 201015 yr Author Tonights project (since I have nothing better to do) Wheel covers. 2 have been sanded down, cleaned and primered (see pics) theres a before with no sanding, and a picture of one primered. The spokes will be white, and the inserts between them black. The outter edge will be black as well... The SUBARU logo will either be a vibrant red or Subaru blue here soon...
October 26, 201015 yr Subaru Blue Sounds Good... But Why Don't you Keep 'em Bright Silver? Painting 'em with Chrome Spray...
October 26, 201015 yr Author The car is white, so I figured theyd look good this way. Rick gave me the idea to make them look nice and then make them white... I was going to just spray them black and call it good... but Ive put some time into them now... I dont expect my Subaru to look new again, but I definately love how good it looks for a 26 year old car
October 26, 201015 yr Author Plus Im not much of a chrome/shiny person... I mean, a glossy color isnt bad.. I LOVE the Jackman style wheels that are chrome though *whistles* those are fine shoes for a Subaru
October 26, 201015 yr Your Subie Does Look Good for a 26 Years Old Car and to Leave the Covers in White will Match Very Well the Car's Colour; but Could you Post Pics of the Whole Car when the Covers are Finished and on? ... 'cos I can only See the Whole Car on your Avatar Pic ... ... Kind Regards.
October 26, 201015 yr Author For sure, should be in the next few days... I have one side painted (2 covers) with the first coat of white, next day or so will get the black on the insides and then the SUBARU logo in blue.
October 26, 201015 yr Author Here are some pics from when I first brought the Subie home Soon she will have a badge of ownership http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=116184

Check the Choke, and bowl vent solenoids for short to ground.
October 26, 201015 yr Awesome! It's cool the car is coming together for you, and GD is the man! It's awesome he's helping you out with all that.
October 26, 201015 yr Author Yea Im pretty excited that hes helping me. I definitely wouldnt have made it this far... I will have GD check it Gloyale. He wants to check my Coil because theres too many things connected to them, and I have no clue what they operate.
October 26, 201015 yr Would I be raining on your parade if I told you those are 90+ loyale covers?? I think they will look good still though
October 26, 201015 yr Would I be raining on your parade if I told you those are 90+ loyale covers?? I think they will look good still though I have a pretty nice set of 4 of those in my shed!
October 27, 201015 yr Author No, I know they are, but I dont have the money for Pugs and I dont like running just steelies.
