    The Paint Party Started: Then, after more fine Sandpaper, came the Second Coat:
  8. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    This is the Polyurethane paint and chemicals I used: The Primer was also from the Same Brand: ~► "KLASS"
  9. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    The day was Rainy ... you can see Mud Spills on the Primer. But it was Washed out clean and Dried , then I used sand paper on the Rest of the car, then Primer, then more sand paper on the primer, then more Primer... you know ...until it was Ready for the First coats of Yellow Paint.

    Time for Fine Sand Paper and Primer. Slowly started to Look Better: Here, the Primer Coat was Applied: Then Sanded Down and another Primer Coat was applied: The Other Side: Preparing the Whole Car for a New Finish:

    I Obtained a Used red Door from a 1990's Toyota Hi-Lux, its Metal Sheet was like New and seemed to be made in even Better Quality than the one on my Subie... I Cut some Metal sheets from that Red Door, then I Molded their Shape and Tested How they fit. Here you can see the bigger one for the Passenger's side: Here you can see the one for the Driver's side: Then the Welding Party Started: This is How it Looked like, after being just Welded: After Deep Cleansing the Areas (inside & Outside) I Started to Cover all the inside with a Premium Anti-Rust Product: With Special Care to cover the Electric Stuff around: This is the Power Windows' main control unit, on which I swapped a Standard "Bosch" Relay, instead the crappy round one it had from factory; you can see the Relay Swap procedure, explained here: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/87523-how-to-swap-the-old-roundie-relays-with-standard-bosch-relays/

    I Removed Everything and this is how the Rust was: it even went to the inside! So I ended Removing all the Damaged Metal Sheet from the Car: Lookin' from the inside: it also had some Rust on the Other Side: inside Pic:

    I own my Subaru "BumbleBeast" since new, in 1985, but this Writeup is Not regarding that wagon, This is regarding the other yellow wagon I had for short time, which originally was purchased as a "Parts Car" and then was turned onto my Subaru Loyale 2.7 Turbo Project. It lasted some years, it was fun, but the turbo was never attempted to be installed, although I had the EA82T pistons on a shelf... the Overheating and other issues demotivated me; and now that 2.7 Wagon is Dead, was in a huge frontal crash, you can read the whole story in the Following web link: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/113641-could-this-be-the-end-of-my-27-project/ However, I did a restoration to the Body of that 2.7 Wagon, and here I will share the step by step procedures that I followed, plenty of detailed photos, that I hope might be useful for you. First of all, the Previous owner of this Wagon had a Short Garage, so the Rear part was sticking outside, the caribbean rainy weather in Honduras had rusted parts of it that I had repaired in the Past. But Now, I Decided to first, Remove all the Paint and everything else to expose the bare Metal Sheet. inside and outside, I removed Everything! Surprise! ... I Discovered that the area around the Fuel Filler cap of the Car had a Minor Hit that Pushed one inch the Sheetmetal to the inside, and the Previous Owner, instead of Fixing that, covered the area with Bondo; and it was even Worse: There was Rust Hiding behind that! So I Used a Tool to Remove that Bondo:

    I've tested many Gearbox / Differential Oils in the Past, in many cars and in my Own experience with those, Specially with Older Gearboxes or Diffs, The Best oil is the one Reinforced with Molybdene: Somehow is the Same Black Grease Base that we use on C.V. Joints: (Motul 31721L Gearbox 80W-90 Molybdenum Bisulphide -MoS2- Reinforced Extreme Pressure Gearbox and Differential Lubricant) This Shiny Black Oil not only makes Quieter any old Gearbox, it also makes Easier Shifting. Believe me, the Difference is Huge, I Run my Weberized Wagon's 5MT with it since around year 2000 (I usually Change it every three years), also I poured it onto many other Manual Cars with great results. Kind Regards.
