subaruguru Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) ok so i started a thread befor the board went down the first time and well now i want to start it again because with all the free time have had lately i have been getting things done around the house and that includes working on my cars:) ok so i got the my 87 gl wagon in 2006 with a 5spd D/R 4x4 this is what it looked like then i started to mod it i wanted a wheeler after all here is its story till present day. the last three are from today well tonight but i still have to remove the gas tank so i can make a nice clean cut then i havea new tank that will be placed in the rear. so tell me what you think i know she aint pretty but she has a long way to go. thanks Rob : Edited November 20, 2008 by subaruguru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigo1966 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 With that much hacked off the rear you should run air shocks and dump the coils. I like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooinater Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 put a tcase in and move the front axle forward a good 2 or 3 inches to give a better approach angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigo1966 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 You could also move the radiator to the back and hack away all the stuff in the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatswhatshesaid Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 That thing is impressive! And it is too pretty! I love it. And I agree that the approach angle needs to be a bit better on this beast. Radiator in the back! Metal gone! Tires moved forward! Who says wheeling Subes is old news?! Thanks, guru...for keeping the spirit alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93Newbaru Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Good GOD that is one nasty looking rig, I think I like it! I'm almost in the process of building my new car, an 89 GL wagon. I don't think it will be that big....but who knows! Looking forward to more pics.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott in Bellingham Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I like it good Job :headbang:It nice to see some creativity :cool: I think you will too' after i cut the back off my wagon the front end tends to stay on the ground more and with the welded diff you will have more traction as the rear will rock from tire to tire , with the lighter weight that ea81 and a weber will be just fine , lets see some offroad pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
