the entire body is taken apart. Now sanding begins. Pics soon. It was going so well until I just got sick and it may have to wait a bit.

I like that, niiice. That rhinolining adds some bad-assery. :twisted:

That certainly is different. Props for some nice execution.
Wish I had those guts!

Those rims are way too fancy for that car.

We should trade.

:lol:

depends on what you got. Thanks for the props. Still just a spray can but I felt if its going to see lots of dirt I shouldn't pay too much for paint.

I really don't think anyone can justify trading Outback 15s for WRX 17s :lol:

I was totally kidding, I just love those rims.

Awesome! I woulda done a blue hood with maybe a black front lip, instead of the whole hood and done the gas door blue but, still. Cool!

I would have tried to get a black teflon coating on the hood, could have cooked with it before the rally!

Thanks. Hood will change. That hood is kinda messed up so I just sprayed it and put it on. a scooped hood is next so I didnt want to put too much work into it. Glad I at least get some props here. another forum was bash after bash.

^^^That's because people are stupid. I like it. It's different but in a good way. Those wheels make it look pretty slick. Not to mention, you are transforming it into a rallyin' beast, so do what you like! :twisted:

Thanks. Plus its only a gen one. Why pay more then its worth to paint it. Now its time to fix the small details and go turbo.

That's why I didn't want to put money into mine. I don't care for the body style much to put the money into, turbo or not. No matter where you go you will get people who like it or not. Most in the Subaru community fear different. I like your efforts, I think I would have rhino lined the whole car lol.

You mean,"Most people in general fear difference."
