found a original front lip in Japan so it looks like the sedan

the bumper plastic isn't bolted up that's why it sits like that or else it will sit straight, I have a brand new skin coming in

SS feed lines and fittings so never rust

got my PROvent 200 all set up so it can catch all the oil

also add the radiator cap on the radiator like the factory had it so its clean and works flawlessly

2 x 12" opal fans made in Italy, the driver side has a bigger HD motor then the slim passenger side

these Subarus don't really have a proper toe adjustment so I came up with a heim joint with threads so I can adjust the Alignment much easier, and its all made out of SS so it will never rust

Version 1 : hard to adjust live on the alignment rack.

OMFG these wheels. Seriously, the best taste. Keep the updates coming, I love this thread.

Super clean builds, that's some awesome work man. Excited to see it all when it's done!

It’s complete, minus the spare and jack, and my buddy gave me three huge old school shop books on it. Lol So my plans are to try and restore and enjoy it for a while. When the EA82 inadvertently takes a massive dump, I’m going to get a regular old usdm EJ20 in it, 5 lug it on some old school phonedials with good tires, and use it for a weekend car, and for driving up and down the mountain during the winter. Lol
