So as per a previous post, there was a small haul from import monster recently

We have a new silver tailgate complete with legacy garnish and jap spec wing, a busted legacy garnish to fix a busted one I have in the shed, a stainless L7 sill panel for the rear bar, side skirts in silver of course, some rev D chunky spats, and a cooling panel and a Cusco rear brace and diffuser setup for the track car.
The black dash plastics, please excuse the mess in the passenger footwell. There is a lot of bits there, the old carbon dipped plastics, the old stereo unit etc.

Also got another S401 front strut brace

401 bar with paint, just needs a polish... Got all the stuff, but need to find time to do it... Seb is not making life easy on this front...

With all these items fitted,she looks like this:


Also finally swapped the wiper stalk after not having a working rear wiper for the past 10 months or so...

And once I finish stripping the turbo bonnet, this little puppy will be fitted up. And now I own 2 of these...

I have some other bits in the wind as well, but we'll get to those once things are solidified...
Cheers,
Ben

Just paid for a set of alloy front LCA's for this. Complete w/ bushes and all associated crap. Nothing overly necessary, but small things that are nice. Will be keeping the steel arms as well, just in case I bend the alloy ones in the track car doing something silly and need to swap arms again...
Other than that, tis all good on this front!

This old girl did get its first proper birthday today though. A wash! The first one it's had since I bought it...
The amount of crap to come out of the weather shields over the top of the windows was insane... If I manage to get into the shed this arvo, I'm going to start the process of polishing of the front bar. Got a heap of clips off one of the outbacks in the back yard for fitting of the side skirts, which will probably be attempted in the next month or so...

Still haven't gotten into the shed, and the days of the weekend where it's been a possibility, it's been stinking hot, but she'll be right. I'll get there. Finally got around to buying the Jaycar LED capable flasher relay that's designed for Jap cars and installed it a couple of days ago. Needed to be wrapped up around the rest of the stray wiring under the dash, as the OEM relay is bolted to the "rocket launcher" under the dash panel, but it works a treat. Sounds a bit weird due to the overrun of the flasher timing (ticks as if the indicator is still flashing twice after the stalk is flicked back to off) but other than that it works an absolute treat. Indicators don't actually flash while it's in overrun, but it sounds like they do.
Plug it in and it just works. Beautiful.
Jaycar SY-4018 is the part number, but I'm pretty sure Timmy already has it as part of his guide.

Rev A-C rear bar with factory lip.

Rev A-C because of the stainless L7 rear step plate I got a while back. It's designed for the early model rear bars, which are slightly more rounded.
Container though, so it'll be 3 months before I see it. Then it needs painting, cos earlier models didn't get premium silver 01G paint. But I'll get some more rattle cans and give it a coat. Practice polishing with this rather than the 401 bar, cos that's gonna be a nightmare to polish properly.
Other than that, nothing much happening on the car fronts. Spending my spare time playing with and looking after the little person.
Cheers,
Ben

We’re “on our last” one and I’m finding that I’m enjoying (or maybe appreciating) the time spent with them playing and engaging more than I did with our other kids because this one is definitely our last!
And enjoy them while they’re young. You’ll turn around and tomorrow they’ll be ten in the blink of an eye!!

Agree Bennie, baby talk doesn't help. I'll ask him what he's talking about when he babbles at me. He's already starting to get the hang of a couple of words, not that they sound like the proper version, but the sound is close enough you can tell what he's trying to say. Mum, Dad and Yum are firm parts of his vocabulary at the moment... Yea, time has flown already, trying to figure where it's gone already, and he's not even one yet...
Small things happening on the car front, managed to get into the shed last night for a few hours, so the track car got some love. Will update that thread soonish with a half decent update.

Ben

Legacy number plate surrounds. Polished to within an inch of their life, so they look suitably pretty. Photos once they arrive as usual...

These are getting to be extremely hard to find these days in manual, and I finally found one. So I bought it. Got the rest of the trims a day or 2 later when I saw the auto set go up, coincidentally with the S401 build plate as well, which was a nice little bonus. Unsure whether I'll be putting that on the toolbox or if I keep it on the trim. But at this stage, considering this is a wagon, I'm leaning towards the toolbox, which will go nicely with the STi and S401 boot badge that's already on it.
Anyways, the rest of the shite in this next delivery is for the track car, so is all good here!

Ben

Pair of semi-decent lights for around the 160 mark landed. Certainly not perfect, but will do the job while I freshen up my current set.
Bit of a pain, but that's cars. Shit dies every so often. Other than that, nothing to report...
