they are stickers. if you dont like them take them off. and who cares if he can't spell?

looks like a pretty sweet car to me. I remember talking to the guy who built it but I cant remember who he was

Looks like a pretty good car, the price is fair I think provided an inspection reveals no issues and good condition.

I see the standard clutch master cylinder sitting there so good chance it's running the 5speed turbo gearbox which means no low range - Not ideal for offroading but manageable, just careful not to burn the clutch out for slow technical rock driving.

Pretty sure twin-pot front calipers are standard on a GX. Front camber bolts are standard on all Subaru's from the first Liberty's onwards.
Abit unnecessary to be running a front mount intercooler considering it's still got the original ecu and turbo - you wouldn't want to run a big turbo / big boost in an offroader. I think it would actually be an advantage to return it to a stock top mount WAIC considering the type of car.

stickers on windows are fine...on paintwork, no thankyou. The sticker should say "caution - douche behind the wheel"

Thanks Vince

I do not care about the stickers! I reckon they can off easy enough - looks like a 6 beer job to me

And WRT his spelling, not everyone had in this wide brown land of ours had access to a good edumacation.

Have mate in Qld checking it out -will report back

The car was converted to turbo using a wrecked GX/RS sedan that had the front mount on it. We(AM Auto) did the swap to the already lifted wagon.
It's a decent car and is worth that much IMO.
The stickers are to do with the owners canine security business.

Roughly how long ago did you guys to the conversion? and do you remeber if the RS box was swapped over or did it retain the dual range box?

Thanks for the info

I saw it today infact. I'm guessing he uses it for work with a dog squad, hence the stickers if that is what yous are talking about.
