chubby37 · Post by **chubby37** » Mon May 18, 2009 6:26 pm

some on here may know i have an AWD liberty wagon...1991...i was planning a heap of things to do to the car and started some of it when i pulled the motor and had my mate deck the heads half a mill and fitted WRX seats....well my oldest son jay has come home after 4 years....long story....and as he is turning 21 soon i gave him the wagon as a birthday gift...you could say he was a bit on the happy side...him and i have decided its going to be a farther and son project and thats made me very happy......well we decided to start with the wheels (WRX) and mixed up a custom colour.

soon the motor is comming back out to have the heads sent to my mate for some port and polishing...................more to come

nice work mate! I can only imagine how stoked you are that Jay is back. Make sure you bring him when you come to visit

actually that works out well, you give him a car for his 21st, he gives you a trip to america for yours ...

never thought about that....i like the way you think...

well all is good....motor tested at 180psi and has the same torque as a tank but i need a fuel reg to finish her off

chubby37 · Post by **chubby37** » Wed Jun 10, 2009 3:33 pm

got a fuel reg..set to 38psi...runs really good....just started on the body work...jay has informed me he is heading up the NT for work and leaving the wagon with me...he now wants to do a full STI convertion...on the lookout within the next couple of months for a full damaged car..will have full controllable tien suspension and a few other bits....many more pics to come....colour has been selected...PPG vibrance rattle snake
