Finally! Back in a Subaru.


Recommended Posts

Desert Fox, in MI? Lol! That'll look cool though, I think the decals will look good against the Tan body.

 

Where are the fuel doors on both that Wagon and Hatch?

 

So, it is official, this car will now be known as the Desert Fox. I am not just waiting on Pooparu to send me the decals.

Raised white letters! I spent an hour today with some tire paint, I love the look on these cars.

That is how they used to make white walls back in the day (If you didn't buy white walls) time consuming as hell haha. I talked to a dude who did it on his old Ford back when he was a teen.

 

Tires look good James!

thanks Loyale. Here's another shot with my cell phone. I need to get a better camera. Depending on how my Sunday goes, I may be going to a JY here and getting a forester roof rack to fit to my roof. I've had zero luck finding a stock replacement. I also plan on checking my timing on Saturday.

I would like to see that! I wonder how well that will fit the roof.

Well, I made a trip back and forth to Lansing friday night. I averaged 29mpgs, not too bad! I did mostly 65mph while on the highway. I am happy with that.

 

The DL keeps making friends. Here it is with it's long lost step brother. an 84 isuzu p"up

On a side note, I love the old Isuzus. This one just turned over to 35k original miles!

Updates:

 

the white letter tires are no more. After the 400 or so miles of driving I did last weekend, they were still looking good. It wasn't until I ran around on the sand dunes that they wore off. I'm not too suprised. I guess I'll be painting them again and staying off the sand.

 

I purchased new wheel bearings and seals for the front left. Any tips on that job? I've never even attempted doing pressed in wheel bearings.

 

I picked up a complete roof rack from a `95 legacy this morning, and I think with a little modification it is going to work. I wanted one from a forester, but it is too long.

 

I am also looking at some additional lighting. What does everyone think of these?

Last but not least, I am still waiting for the desert fox decals to come in. Pooparu told me he would be shipping them this week, I hope to see them soon. I am really excited for those guys. :banana:

I'll paint it after I actually figure out how to mount it. not too bad for $10

 

also, my new driving buddy. We found him up in the sand. I figured he would be a good fit with the desert theme.

I got a box in the mail today from Pooparu. Looks like this weekend I'll be spending some time with some decals.

I managed to do new front wheel bearings on Sunday, along with a new fuel filter. I also had a tire patched because I picked up a nail some where.

 

These decals look sweet though! Once I get some free time this weekend I will get some good pics and make a better post on all the details of putting them on.

 

I can't wait!
