That's a lot of bondo :shock: . Looks good though, next you should match the door cards.

[Huffer]

I wouldn't mount amps there.
When the trunk lid opens after rain, that's the first place water drips off the trunklid.

[Nick_701]

I was worried about that too, but i checked after it rained and it all hit my rear window. I plan to be very carefull with the setup while its raining. Im worried about the suade seats too, dam rain.

[2.5GT]

Very nice interior.

And how does the rear seats fit?

[Huffer]

Very nice interior.

And how does the rear seats fit?

Based on the photobucket link, there are no gaps:

[2.5GT]

Yeah, I saw that. I was leaning towards the outside part. Where the seats sit on the bottom. Not sure if they're gaps there or not..I couldn't tell by the pictures for sure.

[2.5GT]

Good deal. Now we know :grin: ..clean install nonetheless :smt023

[Nick_701]

Updated my original post!

[Huffer]

You're making some good progress - the hood prop relocation is a nice touch!

[2.5GT]

Very cool. Now you need to work on you exterior :grin:

I like that radiator shroud design, and is that aluminum right?

[aznguy0087]

holy crap that look fu_king great :smt007 !!! i love those seats!!! great now i need to do something like that to my BE

[Nick_701]

Thanks!

Im getting wheels tomorrow or friday, ill post pictures when im done with those. All the exterior work that needs to be done cost the most, which is why im kinda putting it off. Ill probably do some suspention work before the exterior stuff too.

Radiator cover is from a peice of sheet medal, it was easier to bend than any alum i found at home dept. Not very hard to make, even considered making more if other people wanted them. Gonna have to be in a month or so cause i have to move out of my house first.

Ill update the finished product when im done, there is still a lot of work to do.

[4n70n1n0]

Nice wheels :grin:
I like how this is began already, but... the hood prop relocation... sorry to say it but too much work for something subaru gave to us all stock

Alot of people don't know what this little square is for. well the mystery was solved. Well it was shown to me by a Subaru Master Mechanic

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2009/06/04cQx-1.jpg

but your relocation was done very well none the less and looks really good. Great job! :smt023

[Nick_701]

Dude thats sweet! i had no idea wish i would have known that before i cut mine in half, haha. Good tip man

your interior is awesome, man...

why can't i find an intake like yours anywhere :smt017

[Nick_701]

Just do a search on ebay you will find one and pretty cheap

You will also need the MAF adapter, also on ebay

[4n70n1n0]

:DROOL: I forgot that you have a full sti interior. Wish I could afford the seats and get them reupholstered in green

[Nick_701]

There is something i just love about the STI blue that i just wouldnt change. BUT an real nice green might just work in your car, just keep your eyes open i got front, rear and carpet for 500 and matched my doors for 20bucks. good luck with it

This reminded me that i decided what to do with my stereo box. the same STI blue i used for my door cards will be covering my fiberglass box. should be done today ill update later

[Nick_701]

I am getting really excited with how this box is looking so i had to share...
