Talking about the rear window trim. Not the doors but the triangle windows in back. Looks like the black is pretty chipped on the passenger side. What's the driver's side look like?

You know you could always repaint those really easy, kimo.
You lightly sand them and headlight/taillight lens tint should
stick to them no problem.

Just got 16" WRX wheels wrapped in Toyo Proxes4 205/55/16 tires (V-rated versions). Scored the wheels and tires for about the cost of 1.25 tires alone :-)

Which diff mount bushings did you get? If you got the two that go in the bracket behind the diff which has two holes in it that the diff cover bolts go through, they won't fit 1st gen legacys. If you're talking about the rear diff outrigger bushings then you're good.

Got myself a roof rack for thirty bucks from the junkyard. It came off a Loyale wagon and will fit the sedan roof, I measured alot before I even had the money for the rack. I also swapped some off brand lights for Hellas. Now, all the round lights on my car are Hellas along with the two I use to see around corners. Tomorrow I'm planning on drilling holes in my roof :? and installing the rack.

Well last night I installed a Waldron 255 pump and everything was good. Today I tried to fix my old radio and that didn't work so I installed my new I just bought. That one work for a minute and then completely died. Not sure what is going on with that. Tried to start the car today and nothing. Taking the new pump out and putting the old one back in. Hopefully that works for now.

What do you mean by "nothing"? Nothing happens at all? If so, that wouldn't have anything to do with your fuel pump but probably related to the radio not working.

little busy this morning...

i noticed some noise from the front end. so i put it up on the ramps and made sure my endlinks were tight. both small bolts on each side were a little lose. so tighten em back up, then i lifted the car further in the air to inspect my ball joints, tierod ends and hub bearings. the drivers front wheel felt like it was ablout to fall off. so as im getting ready to swap hubs i noticed i can turn the axle nut by hand. it was broken where u put a notch it in. so i replaced it with a good one i have and now the front end is all tight again.

then got to the fender rolling... did all 4 corners on the 93ss.

Image

then Turbooutback98 from ct drove to my house to swap his catless 3" BPM exhaust for my stock 93 exhaust and up pipe. cleaned up nice i think.

Image

so all in all, had a good morning so far.
