Car starts with a working key now-- WOOHOO. I bought a steering column assembly with key & went beastmode on the security bolts.

Swapped on some slightly less white retarded looking phone dial wheels & did a quick respray of the calipers to remove the godawful white shit.

Bought a WRX BPV but I'm waiting to sort out the adapter business.

Pulled f and r bumpers an awd 5mt and the whole rear end out of my 94 GT for use in the 93 fwd NA cause sadly the 94 is too rotted to save... Will post pics later. Pulled 2 wagon tails first time no breakage. Heat gun and plastic pry bars ftw

Replaced motor mounts that were sheared in half. Next is the knock sensor wire. Final emissions testing this month. Hopefully it will pass.

Pretty close but not as much air this time. I think I bounced around on the way out of this section.

I was lucky. My buddy lost his motor mounts, exhaust, and a chunk of his head.

This method also works to remove door trim!

No idea but with as much force as he hit that rock I'm surprised that's all that happened. Here's what it looked like from the back side. He lost his tranny mount too.

So glad I have a skid plate... not that it would have helped much if it hit it at that same angle.

I continued working on the wiring.....it is tedious! I got the alarm back in the car....the original installer fucked up so much...it's really quite amazing it actually worked. I made a list of the remaining connections that need to get hooked up, and am hoping to take off on Friday this week so I've got two full days to work on it.

I'm planning a junkyard run tomorrow to get a full set of 76,805 mile outback spring/ strut assemblies. Its time to replace my almost frozen stock suspension with 268,605 miles on it.
