Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer

I'll get some more body shot pictures, the body is in pretty rough shape right now. I have many different directions I want to take with the project. Some of them even require a new chassis.

I'm SORT OF thinking about a 22B body kit, but would require some body work help to prep it which would be a PITA I think, but all the rusty parts would be replaced with the new kit and make keeping this chassis ok. To be honest a 22B is my ultimate goal and so far the only thing missing is the body. The kit would probably take a good weekend or so to install and prep and someone who knows what their doing.

http://www.subarukits.com/22b_body_kit_4.html <- that's the kit I'm thinking about.

Now that the car is done as far as everything else I would like to make it NOT look like a giant turbo turd driving down the road.

On tap for this weekend is a full day of work of final tweaks
1.) My car is leaking oil somewhere, I believe it's the return line from the turbo.
2.) Fix gas pedal with a permanent solution.
3.) Raise my FMIC 1" and get bumper and lights fully installed
4.) Tie down the battery
5.) Check axel nuts
6.) Compression test on all cylinders
7.) Move Steering wheel one notch CCW
8.) Side skirts back on
9.) Final check on all components
