Dead's 96 JDM GT-B SOLD! =(

[Dead91silvia]

So after losing a 3rd motor, I called it quits on "Hornet" the GT-B... She has been sold to another member and will be taken care of in a proper way...

By accident, ags18 found a JDM GT-B getting parted out up in Vancouver BC. He wanted to get parts, I decided I wanted the car! It was re-ended and pushed into a truck's trailer hitch. It had a messed up rear cover that I'm going to fix , but the front cover if toast! I'll run it till I can afford another JDM cover. Apparently when a car is totaled in Canada, they cant re-build them like we can in the states. Kinda sad... So up in Canada, it's only a parts car anyway so the former owners are excited to know that it's going to live on again.

See the black Pulsar across the street? Thats the guys I got this car from! Looks just like mine, but nicer!



removed carpet


Getting gutted


Lines cut....


Loaded and ready to go!




The manuals... I think I need to find some from the UK... LOL

[rocketlegacy]

LOVE it.

[amgarrety]

Wow, despite the shape this car is in right now, I have a ton of confidence that this will turn out to be a great build! Subscribed for sure.

Robin, you realize this is just the gateway drug, right?

This shouldnt take near as long as the Pulsar. I just need to get some rocker sleeve's from the J/Y and She will start going back together.

And yes, it's just the beginning!

[98legwag]

GIGGITY!!!!! I am not so patiently awaiting awesomeness to ensue.

[rkrenicki]

This is EXACTLY what I am looking to do myself, except with a BE or BH.. I think I need to have a conversation with you at some point on the finer points of doing this

[Huffer]

I hate you.

[chuckthefuk]

o.0 and then some :-o

[nikolaus.conrad]

So. Much. Win.

[Dead91silvia]

I had to look outside to make sure I wasnt just dreaming... It's still out there on my trailer!

My back hurts like hell, but thats what pain killers are for right?

I'm gonna get some more detailed pics today and also see if I can get the rock sleeves to start assembly. Still bummed that the one rain guard broke though See if I can fix it.

For some reason we couldnt get it to roll, so I'm not sure why it's doing that. I pulled the brake pads hoping that would help, but did nothing.

[Dead91silvia]

Oh, the owners took some pics of me cutting it up and they said they would email them to me, so I'll post some of those up when I get them.

[Yamazaki]

So it's home, huh? Congratulations!
Soon, you'll get to experience all the joys and griefs of the twin turbo...
It'll be exciting.

[ags18]

You're welcome! ;P

For reasons and outcomes just like this is why Craigslist Vancouver is trolled like its my job.

[chrish8r]

Very nice. Too bad it had to be chopped to come over the border....

[Zangado1]

Wow,awesome find...The white is perfect too along with the wheels. It's great to see a car like that be resurected by a Subie lover instead of being stripped and crushed in a salvage yard...Keep us updated on your progress,Congrads on your find!!!

[98legwag]

So, did it start and or run when you went to get it? I know you said it wouldn't roll.

I kinda wanna see what this twin turbo thing is all about. I got to feel the S401, but I have a feeling that car is much more refined then a regular old 2nd gen TT... I truly cant wait to drive this!

You're welcome! ;P

Thanks for coming by tonight and helping my dad and I! It's fun to have fellow motor heads be just as excited about your car as you are!

And thanks everyone else! I cant stop fiddling with it! I keep finding things new! I got a lot done today! It's now in the shop and I worked on getting the motor back together. I got the dash lights on and even cracked the motor over a couple times.

Also figure out what some of the goodies are that I didnt know about. ags18 helped me figure out that I have a set of Advans on it! Kinda cool to have a set of spendy wheels for the first time ever!

[r3v_v3ng3]

You guys are savage ! but congrats on finally getting it. I just wish I was there to see the neighbors face when your outside chopping that car out lol. If I tried it here, neighbors would of called the cops and have 5 squad cars hahaha.

[Dead91silvia]

Do any of you JDM guys know what wood grain kit this car has? I have never seen one this extensive! It's a pretty nice kit also!

[98legwag]

Hans had one of those grills on jdmtoyshop.com. He may know what brand it is. I am so jealous of this car.

[phi11]

I love it!

[Yamazaki]

Do any of you JDM guys know what wood grain kit this car has? I have never seen one this extensive! It's a pretty nice kit also!

Is it dark woodgrain or light woodgrain? Both are factory, but I don't remember which woodgrain goes on which cars...

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

I'M STILL JEALOUS! haha How in god's name are you going to have this car driving again, when the A pillar and the windshield are sliced in half?

[nikolaus.conrad]

It's light color, but it's got some stick on piece's that are not normal. I like it, but I just have never seen it before. Would like to know if it's a factory option they had, or just pure aftermarket. I'll get some more detailed pics of it. I'm loving this stuff!

Oh yeah, the color is IDENTICAL to my BD!
