pride and joy(s)

just thought id would share my two Subaru's which are my pride and joy. the forester is a 1999 limited i have just installed lifted kings springs, other then that i have put on gt rims. the next mod when funds come in will be the roof top tent! that will be in late January hopefully. then i will be looking into some all terrain tires.

the Brumby is totally original, which is the way i want to keep it other then stock Subaru sunnies. me and my mates call it bad ass brum

PLEASE note that this is the first time i have uploaded pics so i am sorry if it did not work!

^^ All is good with the pics. Nice looking cars, the brumby really needs some new rims. The stock steelies are pretty average :P

Nice Foz, is it manual or auto? Also the Green P-Plate... yours??

it was totally wrecked structurally after almost 5 years of constant beating.

got sick of constantly fixing her, and i was too attached to sell her. I was always said id be the last owner.

She had a good life, upstaging many big 4x4s offroad and many performace cars onroad.

Moved on now, i prefer classy 'toned down' cars now haha

yes already have a lift, but just through the kings springs. havnt tested the height just yet offroad, but will probably leave it with the height it is. the forester is manual! and green p plate is mine as im only 20, both cars are mine.
and yes! the brumby needs new rims!!! i realy want a set of stock subaru sunnies just to keep it original.

Just gotta find a bottle of argon & do some welding practice to bring the skills back up to par lol

Save the cost of argon go gas-less you only get a little bit more splatter works fine for me only had to change the polarity on my mig

Good one Alex! Well Done!
Couldn't you fix the Big end?

Cheers Cam

cheaper to get a new motor, then rebuild

and the second one had a bent rod or 3 :P

I've heard that gasless isn't as strong???

Why did you change the polarity?
