I was suppose to be working, but I had to read everything you posted on your 86' Leone @Nico TURBO.

This was better than reading most articles from the top car modding magazines.

Sweet sassy molassey!!!

I am absolutely floored by this build, and by how absurdly clean that car is!!! Where on Earth did you find such a clean example?! Looks like it came from the Subaru museum! There's not even any rust on the battery tray, I'm shocked! Please keep us updated, I need MOAR!!!

The window visor is way too cool! the packaging it came in was way too legit!> Thanks for sharing

thank you, the car was owned by a doctor local to me he broke it at 18,000kms. it sat in his garage for 10 years then sold it to a scrap yard for 75bucks 16years ago.

it sat in a wearehouse scrap yard for its life, till a local boy found it. he could not fix it or do what ever it was with it. i told him if you can make it to my house with it, ill most likely get it off you.

went over the body of the car, i really didnt care about the motor, i had 2 sitting in the back of my shop ready to go if needed be lol.

then i took out the original motor and pulled the valve cover off and the valve shim fell out, there was the problem ! so i put the motor back in and drove it for a year till i sold my last year build, wich was a 1993 subaru legacy turbo 44B STi

and here we are

i have no clue lol move it up and down maybe there is a video game in there some where its the 80s heheh

so instead of getting those seats i went with some used old school mk2 jetta power recaros if im not mistaken.

ill get them re done in tip top shape new bolsters and bottom foam and what ever is need once apart.

the problem is finding the same fabric that subaru used, i really dont want to be re doing the hole insde of the car just becuase it wont match.

i didnt think it would be ok, but speedhunters liked my car and put me on the site

http://www.speedhunters.com/2012/12/subaru-leone/

so future plans will be doing 400whp on a Dyno Dynamics with a new turbo GTX3576R coming in soon.

well i just got my extra recaro seat in, looks amazing. ill get it steamed cleaned to refresh it.

Props @Nico TURBO, I've actually followed your build on NASOIC, nice to see you hanging around here! Also, congrats on the Speed Hunters feature, just ran into it a few days ago.

thank you, its turning out to be a fun car.

so i found another recaro seat which this one has the head rest i want. now i just need to find one more seat to match the head rest.

also found a spare set of track wheels for my leone, VOLK RAY's STi GC8. i'm going to paint a set of these some funky bright colour.

and still cant find fabric for my recaro jetta mk2 seats yet :mad:
