At the end of last year I went to the St Helens mud run and had a blast as usual but got myself into a little trouble haha :rolleyes: flipped the Subaru playing around. Had it flopped back over in 10 min and spent the rest of the day wheeling it was a good day. Going back again on the 26th

The more I think about it, the more I want to build another lifted Subaru. I thought about using my Subaru to build it but I’d hate to strip out everything I’ve worked so hard to build just to start again. It’s actually easier to just start with a fresh car. 

 

So the build plans are:

-GL hatchback 

-40-44 inch tires 

-Currie Fabricated Ford 9inch front and rear

-LS with 400-600hp

-Built 4L80e

-Atlas 4 speed transfercase :headbang:

 

I know it sounds crazy and most wont like it because “It’s not Subaru” but that’s kinda the point. I just want to build it to be bulletproof. It’s only money, right?

If nobody buys my car and I get tired of looking for a hatch I’ll use my wagon. I’ve even been playing with the idea of shortening my wagon into a hatch but it would take a lot of metal work to make it look decent.

Either way it will be a lot of work. With that being said, anybody in the PNW have a Hatch for sale? The closer to St. Helens, OR the better haha.
