#14 is basically ready to go. Last item is to get the bumper painted by Conley Subaru's body shop (yep, we even use Subaru body shops sometimes!). Brand new 13-16 bumper will be painted, then trim pieces/fog lights/etc installed and then the car will be ready to schedule for inspection with the state.. that should be interesting in the COVID world.

We do need to complete a full detail on it still and finish cleaning up the interior. We cleaned it up pretty well today but didn't complete the dash/etc cleaning, just vacuuming and such.

AC blows cold, no lights on the dash/etc. Car drives super nice and smooth.

We also need to remove the double sided tape from the original STI side skirts and then install the replacement OEM STI side skirts (no ebay side skirts with shit fitment). Also need to remove the stupid car dealership letter remnants form the rear bumper.. that goes back to the full detail part

Pics of it on the trailer ready to go to Conley's bodyshop:








@Opie taking a pic of the STI center caps

We measure them per the book but we generally only buy high front end high cars above the bumper beam to repair. That way it's just core support, hood, bumper, fenders, lights, airbags..

Correct, frame damaged cars are only parts donors for us.

Nice! Where is #14 going?

I went back to the OP post and didn't see a complete listing of cars. May have missed where you already stated this.

Do you mean on the trailer? It's coming back to the shop from final assembly at my house...lol. Then off for state inspection to get the title issued. Just needs a home now.
