How'd make the clear side markers?

Hi all,

Looking for an electric front drivers side door. If possible crimson pearl and rust free. Preferably from within Canada.

Thanks,
Mark

It'll take a good couple hours, plus the time waiting for resin/bondo to dry.



Here's the inside, you can see the glass cloth



And a close up of the same side

Basically I just took a stock scoop, cut the top part of the scoop at both ends (just before it curls down to the base). I cut almost all the way leaving a 1/4 inch at the back, and curled the top of the scoop up 3/8". I then scruffed the inside of the soop and added 2 layers of fiberglass clot...

Well after getting a tmic I figured the stock scoop is way too small to be effective. I wanted a larger "factory" looking scoop that looked like it belonged there. RS and WRX scoops look way out of place imho. I used a stock old scoop I had laying around as a base. The opening ended up bei...

Cool. Ended up doing exactly what you mentioned in the end.

haha, yeah I thought about it, except I dont want to destroy the studs. I wonder if you can even get replacement ones anymore

Anyone else have difficulty removing the scoop on turbo models? I notice the little studs are pressure fit into the plastic scoop, and all the nuts are seized on mine. So the hole stud turns, argh! Anybody found a good way to get the nuts off???

Nothing, other than expect peformance and economy to suffer, perfomance more so.

figured its about time to put up my ride

Nice cars! Damn thats clean turbo Legacy! Should save it from the salt and get another beater instead.

Just did an oil change and found metal filings in the oil! The engine has been running fine. I'm concerned since it only has 250K Km's on it and I've always taken care of the motor (full synthetic oil and good quality filters). Whats the most common cause for filings in an EJ22T??

Thanks,
Mark

Aero Mudguards (fit over the side skirts and rear bumper lips)

If your really serious, you could always get the side skirts, rear bumper lips and aero mudguards from a wrecker overseas. 89-93 Legacy/Liberty RS's came with these parts. North American models got screwed. I think it makes the car look 10x better.

Hey there,
I pmed you. I was thinkin, if you have access to rust free corners. Like the rear rockers and quarter panels that would be the simplest. forming new metal is a pain in comparison. I still think white suits these cars great, they just dont look good in exotic colors IMHO.

Mark,

Got a question do they use road salt in Polska?

I got a local plastic shop to make some prismatic inserts, and removed the orange parts. I still them back in Ottawa somwhere

Here's some before pics: http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t154/Legacyturbocars/winterturbo.jpg Early on http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t154/Legacyturbocars/Turbowork.jpg Ready for new paint http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t154/Legacyturbocars/paintturbo2.jpg In the booth post spray job

Not sure what "exact name" color this is. I just call it maroon

I just masked, scuffed, primed and painted them. I got rid of most of the chrome and think it looked alot better.

Sold her off locally, and a few months later it ended up in a head on collision with an SUV. The new owner got out with some minor bruises, lucky guy! A shame, it was ready for the scrapper before i found it, spent 2 yrs or so workin on it.

RIP Girl, spent many hours on this car fixing her up.

SO, labeling a Legacy an "STi" would be incorrect, because there was, infact, never a Legacy STi

What about the Gen 1 Legacy RS RA sti version

I agree, if you don't take car of that rust, irregardless of having skirts, the rust will spread past the skirts and look like total crap.
