Progress report....

Hey sorry I couldn't make it to the BBQ guys. I had a little work to do on the Subie. Here's what I got done yesterday:


It has front bracing again!!


Check out that frame rail sectioning.


Suspension is finally put back together with a new strut, sway bar, endlink, control arm, and whole front crossmember.


Wow, it looks really sad in this picture.


I found out this foam piece isn't held down by anything. It just sits on top of the bumper support. I think it makes a clunking sound sometimes when you hit bumps. I secured mine down now so I'll let you know if the sound goes away.


Nothing like new parts.


Almost done.


Rear bumper complete. All she needs is paint.


It has eyes again!

Well after the engine gets here, then it's on to the the shop to paint it. Then I'll be along with you guys whereever you go. Thanks for looking.


My new wheels! Oh fun.

 

Looks good.

 

how much did that bumper run you if you dont mind my asking?

thanks

Ben

 

are you painting the whole car then?

 

Yea it's gonna be a complete paint job. The bumper cost me $135 from Subaru.

 

**** nice....well guess we'll see you soon then....why not ride it just like that...no paint job....j/k...

 

Yea no paint job would be sweet. I would fit in with a lot of cars at University every night. OH MY!

I get fairly decent prices since I do Auto Body work. I got it from White Bear Subaru. My wheels are Rota Tarmacs in a special Titanium Chrome color that i have never seen before. They look black at night and really chrome during the day. It's crazy. I'm really excited to see how they look at Firestone at night. Pretty soon i guess.

 

Hey Tim, I need my rims repainted white and possibly some other parts painted red (SHush Vic!). Got any suggestions?

Looks like a Winner, Tim

 

My bumpers getting painted this week...
I think I'm gonna need to replace some clips that I broke =)
Does morrie's sell them individually?

 

Kyle,

You may want to give them a call, they currently have a 20% special online, what I've been doing is if I cant find the part number I'll call them for it and order it online and get the discount and go pick it up, they have been pretty nice about it.
Brooklyn Park Morrie's Subaru. Thanks to FOOOOONG!

If you want the Rims to stay white for a really long time I would suggest getting them Powdercoated. It might be a little more expensive then painting them but will be worth it in the long run. Depending on what the other red parts are too, that might be the way to go. The only thing i suggest painting with automotive paint is the actual car. Check up on the powdercoating, it looks beautiful.

Tim

 

do you know where I can get them powerdercoated and for how much?

 

If you look up powder coatings in the yellow pages there is a few places that will do it. Also there was a guy at Firestone last time, I believe his name is Tony who said he can do it. I'll point him out to you if we're at Firestone this weekend.

 

All righty. See you there
