March 23, 201115 yr Author Wow, I just dug up this old photo. This was taken Fall 2006, a few months after I got the car. Yes, I had a round face as a child :-p
March 23, 201115 yr http://www.amazon.com/3M-Schutz-Rubberized-Coating-Black/dp/B000PEQGMM (requires a gun... but well worth it.) this is really great stuff. goes on just as good as the oem.... I remember when I did a couple of these... I went sofar as getting rid of that stupid rubber trim on all the wheel wells and I bondoed up the holes that held on the rubber trim... after shooting the whole bottom and wheel wells I put a piece of masking tape halfway in (where the rubber trim used to be) and sprayed a fake rubber trim with this stuff. there is also a product called "rocker schutz" which I believe is paintable... and is what is on the subies rockers.... I usually just scrape this stuff off clean... and then paint the rocker with out it.... but you can by rocker shutz...... Also another goodie... is 3m window weld... http://www3.3m.com/catalog/us/en001/home_leisure/-/node_GS51JKDTTHgs/root_GS2MT8MCQBgv/vroot_BWFLZ648DFge/bgel_PNC6H0CVTWbl/gvel_V81136SWNHgl/theme_us_chimpartnersupport_3_0/command_AbcPageHandler/output_html it is a little pricey but fills holes pretty good..... or spots where you can weld rivet with this between the metal...(it aint going nowhere) (where gloves don't get this junk on you.. don't come off.... as bad as pur-15 as a skin clinger I almost lost my subie... the wheel wells rotted out... and the struts popped through....... make sure you wash then out good... there are too many nooks and crannies in there.... AND my subie is in the Hospice right now... the lower piece of the rear suspension rotted out . the tube the trailing arms are connected to............ run a ton of water through there(the tube) If you want to keep you car as long as you can... got to fight against the rust with preventative.... measures........ Good Luck!

March 25, 201115 yr Funny, that photo was taken shortly before you joined the board right. When you were just a young punk makeing incomprehensable runon sentences.
March 25, 201115 yr Author This photo was taken back when I was big into Cardomain.com and had never joined a Fourm before, the first Subaru board I joined was XT6.net
March 25, 201115 yr Author Last night I got my new valance thanks to Marc and JoAnne up in Marshfeild! JoAnne is a blast to talk to and has some interesting stories Hope you made the trip to Michigan with ease. Cheers!
March 27, 201115 yr Author Here are some pictures. I have been slow at getting pictures up. And I am also gathering footage for another video. So stay tuned! New Valance All thanks to Marc and JoAnne up in Marshfeild! Mad props goes to you guys and I'm glad I met ya, JoAnne, your a blast! Made In Taiwan? Lol.
March 27, 201115 yr Author I really made progress today, I fixed the driver side frame corner and POR'ed it. And I also fixed the broken welded nut which holds the lower bolt on the hoodlatch support, So I was then able to put the valance on and get it all buttoned up. Only thing I have left to do would be, putting the fenders back on ansd buy 3 or 4 more stainless bolts/washers as I don't have enough. I also got a lot of footage today and some pictures. I will try to get more pics tomorrow. Cheers all!
March 27, 201115 yr I just subscribed to your youtube stuff. Good work on everything and great documentation. You're inspiring me to take more pics/vid of my work and to fix the little bit of rust on the GL.
