SubiBratz Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) I bought this well over a year or two ago and decided to do a major swap#hybrid. The body and paint was done by me (learning project) Lol All in all the car is one of the funniest out of the fleet to drive and definitely grown soft for the gen 1's.

Dazza Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Hi: In Australia we call these a brumby (which is a wild horse) These Gen 1's are seldom seen these days and the Gen 2 is highly prized and even high mileage examples bring big $. Worst thing Subaru ever did was to take them off the market 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubiBratz Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the replies. The gen 1 are getting harder and harder to find with out spending an arm and a leg repairing them. They are one of my favorites, plus anyone can own a wrx, sti etc. Edited March 8, 2013 by SubiBratz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O.C.D. Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) Ah yes, I remember now. Can't believe I didn't correlate them together, lol. I called shenanigans on the speed of the build, lol. That was cause I wanted more info and pics. Well done indeed. Edited April 3, 2013 by O.C.D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubiBratz Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Thanks. Yes I painted the wheels red, what a difference if you put some color on the factory Forester wheels lol. What part of spokane you live in. By chance you drive a gen 2 brat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scole665 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 She's a beaut! Did you paint that BLUE on the SUBARU badging on the rear? I'd like to paint mine, just wondering how you did it (assuming you did), what kind of paint and the exact color... so just about everything LOL.

Kevint143 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Scott on my friends we are going to try and use model paint for the blue and do it by hand with a brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scole665 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 You know me Kevin, I like to keep it looking like it was when it hit the shore from Japan! I might have to buy an extra one to test the quality, my workmanship and the color. Mine has remnants of blue, but it looks a little more "royal" than this one. I'm not sure if it was already painted or repainted or what. Who knows more about this little tidbit of information? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belacane Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I love it!!! Looking great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubiBratz Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 For the blue Subaru badge. I used a can of Dupli Color spray can and sprayed it in a cup. Then used a paint brush. Turned out great. I'll let you know the color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
