I need 10 posts before i can PM ! but i am interested.

This should be a fun project. Good rig to take anywhere and do everything i like doing. I said I wasnt going to wheel one when I build it, but that went out the window first time i popped it into 4low :banana:

Well Ive been working alot lately, but have worked on the subie every chance I can get. I with the help of 88subi4x4 and his dad made the rear bumper from a piece of chairlift steel in his backyard. I also put some peugeots on it. I started building the lift. Pics of the bumper:

Had to put a couple of bikes on my rack too, I meant that is what I built the bumper for! :banana:

 

 

Next on the list:

Try and finish the 5 inch lift

Drill the toyota wheels I cleaned up and find some 215 75 or 65 R15's

Find a Weber and get the thing running right!

Little quirks like the clock and the voltage gauge has a flaky connection or something

Glasspack Exhaust

Skidplate and more Im sure

well, I got the lift done with the help of 88subie4x4's dad. also put my old toyota wheels to good use and found a set of 215/65/15s on craigs for $100 for practically new tires. Also am trying to still dial in the weber mileage wise, and fix a few odds and ends, still need to tinker with it but it runs and drives! :banana:

a small note you probably already know about: you said the voltage was jumpy? sube alts have a built in voltage regulator, that could have gone bad. i just bought my wife an absolute jem of a 86 wag but had a similar issue(tach was jumping too). i put a spare alt on it tonight and it solved both problems. just a thought, nice sedan, i wanna lift both our soobs.
