Long time no post, but this did get finished, painted. I never did end up building an engine for it, I got board with it, and other projects took over. I ended up selling it this summer. It now has a home in road island with someone taking very good care of it. https://i.imgur.com/f03pZCX.jpg https:...

Long time no update, its almost ready for paint, my friend and I kept having real work that needed to be done before we got to this, it is now in the shop until it gets painted. Got the FMIC fitted, bumper all cut up, looks good. Hopefully I'll have some more updates later this week! http://i1207.ph...

Got a chance to work on this tonight, can't wait until the body work is wrapped up and we can get a new coat of paint on this!!!!

Off to paint! I'm helping my body guy take it apart tonight hopefully, got some new doors for the drivers side, and a fmic so I can cut up the bumper before paint. Can't wait for this car to look good for the first time since i've owned it.

Not much new to report with this, just been driving it and enjoying it. Picked up a new drop in air filter, need to do that and do an oil change soon. Also I seem to be smelling fuel in the morning, thinking I have a leaky fuel rail line...

Long time no update, haven't been working on this much, basically just driving the heck out of it! I found a set of 2005 wrx seats and swapped them in, I'm working on a way to lower them, but haven't had much luck. I'll post more as I finish that up and have so decent photos of the project. Right no...

Looks awesome with that bumper, and fogs! Wish I had a set of those enkies for my 84 GL. Well, I have a set of enkies, I just need to get around to the five lug swap so I can put them on...

I actually set some time aside the last couple of days to work on this a bit. I did a couple of things that I had been wanting to do all winter, but just couldn't come up with the time. Now that is starting to get nice out up here, the pressure is on to get some things done so I can enjoy it this su...

So I haven't done much with this the last few months, but the other night I decided I need to get it ready for summer, as its almost here. Pushed it out of its hibernation spot and started working on the dccd controller install, I had a spare seatbelt housing in my black legacy, so I pulled that out...

Thanks man, I like the gt wheels as well, I doubt you see the garage as I'm standing in front of it taking the photo..., I need to get my other cars on the road so I can take this one off, and spend some time cleaning it back up!

So I was noticing some noises coming from the rear of this car. Figured it was a strut as I have been traviling a lot of really, really rough dirt roads, going back and forth between my parents place, and the place I recently purchased. So I put it on the lift the other day to check it over. Turns o...

I haven't updated this in a long time, so far this year I have done a 4 wheel brake job, new rotors and pads, due to rust. Two years is about all I get out of them as the car doesn't see much action during the summer. All the paint has fallen off the hatch for the 4th time, and I need to repaint it....

The 92 ls wagon I sold two years ago to a friend blew a heater core this week. So guess who gets to be the lucky one to change that... I have the dash pulled now, tomorrow I'm going to pull the rest of it apart and wait for the new core to come in.

That is exactly what it looked like when I went to pick it up. With a ratchet strap it probably would have made the trip back to my house!

Yeah the white wagon was pretty crazy I bought it for the engine I needed for a southern outback. I drove it about .5 of a mile from where it was parked to my house like that. (back road, no traffic, nothing to worry about there) It had a stump the dude that owned it cut off to fit between the tower...

It's hard to imagine an 2002-2003 era car be rotted out by rust, but I guess if the undercarriage isn't hosed off regularly during the winter the salt goes to town. You would be surprised. Up here you are lucky if your car makes it 10 years. We condemn cars all the time at work, brake lines, no roc...

Picked up this wrx last week. It looks nice, but it is super, super rusty. The rear strut towers have holes the size of my head in them, and there are no rocker panels to speak of. I have worked on this car for years, and know the history. One owner car, it has been pretty well taken care of. It now...

I was planing on it anyway really. I wanted new everything when I go to put it back together. The only thing that is going to be used are the case halfs.

Even though I felt like crap today I decided to get off the couch and do something with my life. I pulled the oil pan off, and the pistons out without a hiccup. I then decided it was time to split the case. As I was heating the bolts/block I was wondering to myself why do I live here. As a car guy I...

It does suck. I'm going to spray it some more today, and heat it up a little hoping it will let the penetrating oil seep in even more that it normally would and let it soak another few days. I'm going to contact the machine shop that has a couple of my other engines right now, and see what they sugg...

I disassembled the 2.2t down to the short block today. All was going great. Pulled the valve covers off. The engine looked super clean. http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb463/1982gl4/T%20leg%20road%20trip/1_zps73fa3e98.jpg I pulled the intake off without any problems, as well as the goose neck I'...

Dccdpro came in! Now I need to install it. I may fool around with it a bit this weekend, but I think I'm going to start pulling apart the 2.2, and I need to remove the cylinder head on my datsun because the valves are sticking.

Yeah i know. I felt bad taking it apart, but there is nothing I can do with that shell. I'm planing on forged everything, and was looking into the 20g heads.

Pulled the spare 22t today. The black car gave a bit of a fight, nothing some torches couldn't take care of. I guess its expected with 270k and a very salty northeast life. I took it for its last drive yesterday. Started right up after jumping the starter. The drive was super sketchy with bald summe...

Love this car. I've been following your thread over on sl-i great work! Also that train photo is awesome.
