Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer

Updated the original thread, basically decided to do the powertrain plus all suspension geometry from an STi, plus the brembo brakes.

Here's some pics of my progress and the parts I've gotten.

The Very Beginning


First of the Suspension off


My DS Fucking Spring was rusted in half!?!?! The car somehow drove fine too, ridic.


What's left of the front bumper mount beam, I think? Seriously the Titanic is probably in better shape and more recognizable.


Everything ready for the engine to be pulled... except the fucking engine hoist broke >


Beginning of the dash tear down.


Dash Off and carpet out.


About an inch of sand below the carpet, effin' MN


Another shot of the bare inside.


Rear suspension off and diff chillin'


New engine + crazy ass wiring


New bitchin' header + up pipe


FUCKING rear x-member bolt that had a welded nut break off the frame, requiring me to cut open the chassis and re-weld it to the frame.


STi gas tank vs old tank


Organizing wires as I disconnect them.


Wires taken out and in a box.


ALMOST ready to actually start putting parts BACK on
