Subie Boys Gen 2 Tidy Up
Subie Boys Gen 2 Tidy Up
OOPS ... THE TITLE SHOULD READ GEN 3 .
As there is only Ross and myself now , we dont do the fancy stuff. So instead , we tidy up cars for people. Could say we are now the Subie Boy2 .
A friend of ours picked up a Gen 3 and we said we would give it a tidy up for him. This is the result..
We got it delivered to our place and started by giving it a good wash all over.

The Engine needed to be riped out and repaired. The usual head gasket problem.
Then the tear down.

As you say Bennie, things come to an end. But i am to passionate about subaru's to give up on them. Plus not doing it would drive us nuts.El_Freddo wrote:I'm looking forward to the next chapter in this subi's story!
Sorry to hear there's only two of you now. I guess all good things come to an end...
Cheers

Cheers for that.Silverbullet wrote:Good to see some pics of another car getting the subie boys treatment, even if it is now the subie boy2
Watching with interest
Hey Paul, More pics to come. The wow factor was Steve, the easiest way to put it, he needed more than we were willing to give.RSR 555 wrote:Keep the pics coming Rick.. looking good so far

We were lucky with this Gen 3. Most of the fancy stuff was already on it. Subextreme front and rear bars. 2 inch lift kit.
While waiting for the body deadner mixed with fish oil to dry, we went to our local wrecker to pick up a few items. Better roof linning, bits and pieces that were brocken and better door trims.

Once the engine got back, on went new clutch. Also replace a few otheing while it was out. Made life alittle easier .

Have a better look at the paint pic ( masked up one). You will see paint on the top of the masked area , which should tell you the answer to you question. Lol.
