Sweet. I know I need lots of part. I'll get a list together and see what you have.

I just got a ton of parts, but I need more. I'll shoot a photo of what I got. I'm changing the grill out to a stage one 4WD grill and hood and swapping out the gauge cluster too. I can't wait to get those seats from moosens:grin: I'm hoping to have this thing put together by next summer.

Sometimes people put things together just to see if they can.

I'm not sure if anyone's posted about this yet, but here it is. http://www.autoblog.com/2011/09/07/subaru-impreza-plus-bmw-v10-engine-equals-awesome/ Subaru loves boxers. No, not the kind that beat each other into bloody pulps, we're talking about the engine design, which places the cylinders directly across a horizontal plane, almost like they are swinging alternating punches away from the crankshaft – hence, the boxer name. There are lots of good reasons to love the boxer engine – it allows for a decidedly low center of gravity and is inherently smooth due to its built-in balance – and Subie has certainly done much to advance the configuration since the days of the original Volkswagen Beetle (also boxer-powered). But what if you want your cylinders arranged in a V? Well then, there's always the ever-popular engine swap. While some would be content to drop in the tried-and-true Chevy V8, not everyone wants Bowtie power in their engine bays. At least one Subaru Impreza owner decided on nothing less than a BMW V10 ripped from under the hood of an M5. Thankfully, we have video evidence that such a beating-heart transplant can pay big dividends. See for yourself in the video after the break, which was apparently shot just after the conversion was completed and before the engine had been fully tuned. Enjoy!

That had to be the slowest drag race in history. It was fun and loud.

Alright so I got the specs on the tires. ITP 27X11R 14 Mudlite XTR Xtreme Terrain Radial Max Load 491 LBS. @ 7psi I've also got some tubes installed in them too.

There is something to be said about a clean looking stock old school Subaru. Just awesome.

Yes, it's a bass speaker.

No I don't drive them on the pavement. I through them in the back of the BRAT and put them on when I get to where I'm going.

Yes, these are 15" Toyota rims that are drilled out to fit the 4x140 lug.

or you could pay an upholstery shop $800 to custom make you some carpet like I did. The seats were another $500

I made the top 10:banana: Round 2 Shoot me some votes!!! http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2228935

some new carpet for your ute: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/MOULDED-CAR-CARPET-SUBARU-BRUMBY-UTE-/180672669796?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a10ee2864

Add some chrome rings and new lugs then you'll be set. Here's a set that I restored.

I've got some parts to bring too. Complete XT6 5-lug swap set up (rotors are practically new) Front and rear bumpers off of my 1977 Coupe (with all the hardware and pieces) a set of 15" 5x100 steel rims with studded snow tires EA71 quad headlight grill I'll post prices and photos later tonight & I might have some more stuff too. Feel free to ask me if you don't see anything listed on here. I have a ton of EA81 and EA71 parts.

I've got a grey one for you.

I'm not trying to defend the new school subaru stuff over the old school, but that WRX has had a lot of custom work done to it. It's just a little harder to tell 'cause they are covered up. You should read about the build up on it. It's a very good read.

More amps to power the fog lights and all of the other accessories better.

I'm making a ton of progress. I think I'll hold on posting photos till after the wcss. Right now I've got the gauge cluster swapped, bumpers painted, cargo box in the bed, and GM alternator installed.

I just talked to bill tonight (the beast I drive) and he's planing on doing this build. He's just the guy for the job. I'll keep you updated on his progress.

Not a problem. Take your time (not too long). I'm just stock piling all of the parts not for the restoration next summer. This is going to be my best project yet. All though I keep getting a ton of people who want to buy this coupe from me as is. I just can't give it up. I'm in love.

I got 2 votes so far. I'm super stoked. There are lots of super sweet lifted subarus to vote on and didn't think I'd get any votes. That's a win in my book already.

I'll still take a grey and black. Shoot your paypal info and I'll shoot you the moola.

Can you pm me the information? I'd love to through a set on my hatch.
