I get the feeling youre not really in the Philippines.

 

Considering previous posts, from Melbourne.

 

Look, you are a person of knowledge (I am not), it is fantastic for the forum, although it appears you have started off on the wrong foot with a lot of people, please , please , introduce yourself properly SubyDr.

People with endless knowledge are more than welcome, but if we have no idea who you are or what you're about, no one will be interested.

 

I am genuinely interested in the input you have to everything to do with this forum.

 

Anyways, Sorry Mark, back on topic

[zahmad]

I for one would love to be as a perfectionist like Mark, but realize that as soon as I park the car at work, there is a 90% chance of that going out the window.

 

I personally can agree with what subydr has said about small workshops and larger ones - panel beaters specifically.

I give you a short example. My trusted local panel beater used to be a part of the once large NRMA Insurance approved repairer network.

2 years ago they rethought their whole affiliation program and decided to shut the smaller workshops out of their agreement and only deal with larger workshops. In this deal, they basically promised the large workshops a set amount of jobs a week, with the customer enticed to choose one of these large workshops with extra entitlements such as taxi vouchers and a car wash.

 

Which panel-beater paints parts of your car and doesn't wash it before returning it to you?

No you cant give me any more pointless advice SubyDr and dont have the audacity to link shit in my thread either unless asked by a member or myself. You obviously have an extensive background but unless I come to you for advice, I dont need yours. I know whom im dealing with when I take my car somewhere otherwise I wouldn't take it there.

Until you post indepth pics of your own Subaru, don't bother posting in my thread again. Itd have to be the most perfect car around in every way.

Every post you have made in my thread is based on pure assumption as to my requirements, expectations or abilities. Not cool.

On a lighter note, I just read this whole thing mate and am really looking forward to what you do with it. Also I personally love how aggressive the front looks. Good luck with it all mate. Ill be keen to see progress. Keep it up.

Luckily I didnt listen to DrSuby and his apocalyptic warnings on purchasing parts from American models and went ahead and purchased all my little bits and pieces from Subaru America and guess what...........? They're all correct, imagine that. You would think Ive done this a few times before

 

Anyway....

 

These are the things that irritate me. Measure twice drill once is what I was taught or dont measure and drill numerous times like these monkeys.

 

New with restraint covers versus JDM. Cost for the trim was AU$46. Done properly.

 

 

 

I got all the little bits and pieces I was after to make it spot on down to a little cover that hides the screw in the seat base trim that was missing.

 

Big THANKS to the guys on here that kindly supplied the few interior pieces I was chasing.

 

I'll have the car back next weekend, but then have to refit everything and do the stereo install.

[CRUISN]

Thanks Marv.

 

Picked up a Defi boost gauge last night, now to decide where to integrate it.......

[CRUISN]

Car is ready to go Friday. Picked up a few bits so I can refit clips / tape / seals so theyre ready to put straight on over the weekend all going to plan

 

Love a fresh paint job plus the brand new skirt seals all round makes it all look spot on. Cant believe they painted straight over the seal prior.

 

[AB501UT!0N]

Looking forward to the pics 😃

Looking forward to the pics

[CRUISN]

Might be waiting a while. Although fresh paint, will still look pretty much like pics in first post so Im in no rush to take any pics.

 

Will do so when some goodies arrive from Japan in about a months time and stereo and other bits are all completed and maybe have new wheels or at least the oem ones painted.

[Joss]

Have you received your first purchase from Japan? 

The one with the billies and Muffler?

[CRUISN]

No, thats the one Im talking about.

[Joss]

Ah okay, thought you might have gone on another shopping spree 

[CRUISN]

Always shopping........

[RX25SE]

Fork.

 

Just found this thread!

 

 

Nice one Mark. 

 

Gimme a few days to let it all sink in.

[CRUISN]

Just so you know, its getting satin black wheels Jase.

[RX25SE]

You would, wouldn't you.....

 

 

I'm fairly confident that the wheels won't stay that way for long.

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, and just so you know; white is the worst colour for dark wheels.

Said nobody ever! (Or maybe someone with no idea about asthetics)
