I also find it hard to give up on a car that you have a lot of history with. Keep on keepin on.

Pressed sheet steel, spot welds, glass, nuts/bolts, plastic; what all my favorite ladies consist of.

I love the effort to keep the stock grille in place.

I think reddevil is a legend at this point.

That's my problem, too. I can lose almost anything else with a shrug, but not my Subarus. Still more reliable than relationships with humans.

Nice picture Doug.

I'm always glad to hear that you aren't giving up on the Reddevil. That car truly is a legend and I always look forward to seeing what other crazy concoction you can stuff into the engine bay.

I'm not sure which is sadder, the fact that you think that or the fact that your probably correct ;)

I wouldn't think it was sad at all if Subaru still made cars I wanted to buy.

Yeah, I love the red duct tape at the bottom of both corner lights keeping them in place... OR is that 200mph speed tape and it's for safety factor??? :lol:

Whats in the trunk - gas tank?

Seeing that the car is stripped to the bone I think it must have a purpose...

Next stage of weight loss will be plexiglass windows, gutting the doors (if you have not done so already), & an Aluminum dash for a 180lb+ loss!

I'm guessing the red and silver duct tape are to prevent the corner markers from beatinig the crap out of the fenders at high speeds... I don't trust the factory tab and clip setup at highway speeds!!!
