December 10, 201114 yr Author im planning on going to go an a little 4 wheeling outing and take some pics i want to take it to some rougher spots and see what it can do stock before i start modifying it
December 11, 201114 yr Author went and did a little wheeling with chim today now the car has a stumble and less power i crushed the y pipe so im gonna try and straighten that and see if thats where my loss of power is comming from
December 17, 201114 yr Author Took the Hitachi apart yet again had a plugged power valve thinkin dirt got in threw the accelerator pump while I was offroading
December 21, 201114 yr Love the pics cant wait to get mine done,i had a bit of a setback the other day where i broke the windscreen refitting it so have to wait 4 weeks for a new one to be made as they are like rocking horse **** over here :-\
December 22, 201114 yr Author this car seriously surpized me at how well its done on and off road i think you will be happy with your wagon
December 23, 201114 yr Author some small stuff done today mounted some offroad lights i still need to wire them but the hard part is done cb antenna mounted whats this 2 switches? well one goes to the front lights but whats the other for? stay tuned
December 24, 201114 yr Thats a real bad place to mount that antenna man, your standing wave is going to be all over the place. You need to get it above the car more. Being that close to the body is going to heat your radio up and possibly damage it.
December 24, 201114 yr Author im still messing with the antenna location the biggest issue is clearance if its much taller im not gonna make it into the shop to work on it
January 12, 201214 yr Author im liking this car more and more i went to get some firewood today who needs a truck but it brought my rump roast end down quite a bit nearly dragging mud flap here heres a better shot of how low it was sitting
January 12, 201214 yr Love that wagon. That would be my next chioce if I was able to get another old subie and then a Gen 2 brat would be there on my list too. Keep them pics coming...

March 9, 201214 yr Damn she buffs out pretty nice! yep nice. You can't do that with clearcoat paint on todays cars, once it flakes, it is toast no buffing will fix it. love the old single stage paints.
