turbosubarubrat Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) yours looks great have u got it repainted? my paint is prity oxidized. yah i have a 85 and had a 86 my dad has 2 78's and 79. got this one for 350 in Bingen Washington for $350 for parts because someone rear ended it when it was parked going 60mph aproximently 2 months later it looked something like this. my dad cut out the wheel wells for me, but i did most of everything else taking it apart down to the unibody and even took off all the small plastic pieces that keep stuff together.

6 Star Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 yours looks great have u got it repainted? my paint is prity oxidized. Nah it was just wet in that picture. The paint is fairly decent, not like we get baking sun here in the PNW. You should make a build thread for your subies in the "members rides" section.
