At the end of last year I went to the St Helens mud run and had a blast as usual but got myself into a little trouble haha :rolleyes: flipped the Subaru playing around. Had it flopped back over in 10 min and spent the rest of the day wheeling it was a good day. Going back again on the 26th

  • More subaru pics. Roll cage is done and I made the frame for my skidplate. Still waiting on drivelines.  

  • It drives now. Played around with the forklift again. 12.5 inches of travel in the rear.

  • Well there doesn’t seem to be enough interest to part it out and I still haven’t gotten anybody who’s seriously interested so looks like I’m keeping it. Fine by me haha

Decided to list my Subaru for sale. It’s been fun but I need the money for my rx7 and upcoming bills. I’ll build another though. 

This is sad.

Better idea, sell the RX7!!

;););) 

Seriously though, you’ve gotta do what’s best for you and your situation, even if it makes a few hard board members shed a tear or three :P 

Cheers

The more I think about it, the more I want to build another lifted Subaru. I thought about using my Subaru to build it but I’d hate to strip out everything I’ve worked so hard to build just to start again. It’s actually easier to just start with a fresh car. 

 

So the build plans are:

-GL hatchback 

-40-44 inch tires 

-Currie Fabricated Ford 9inch front and rear

-LS with 400-600hp

-Built 4L80e

-Atlas 4 speed transfercase :headbang:

 

I know it sounds crazy and most wont like it because “It’s not Subaru” but that’s kinda the point. I just want to build it to be bulletproof. It’s only money, right?

If nobody buys my car and I get tired of looking for a hatch I’ll use my wagon. I’ve even been playing with the idea of shortening my wagon into a hatch but it would take a lot of metal work to make it look decent.

Either way it will be a lot of work. With that being said, anybody in the PNW have a Hatch for sale? The closer to St. Helens, OR the better haha.

Even though I’m trying to sell it, I still love this car.:wub:

It might not look too bad as a hatch. Assuming I can get the windows right. Haha

The more I think about it, the more I want to build a rock crawler bug. :headbang: I already have a ‘67... but that’s still a long ways away haha
