So, when I started this restoration in October of 2005, I started a progress thread on the Subaru Board (NASIOC) that I active on. I have been meaning to create a thread here, but I never got around to it. I figured the kids over in ricer land would find it more amusing to see a classic resto in action then the folks here that have lived it.
But, I now post more here then I post in NASIOC OT, and feel more involved in the community then I did when I started. So, for the sake of ease, I am going to port over my posts from NASIOC, and posts from today on will be unique here. As I get ready to paint (JUNE 9th - 13th are PAINT DAYS!) this thread will get more active. :-) Zach PS, it kinda fun for me to do this. Looking over the old posts brings back memories of the ride... |
