Ninja Noodle Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Hi all, fairly new to the Scooby scene, got me a 99 none turbo wagon 2.0, brought a nail oops but she coming together now, just the new engine to drop in once I'm done cleaning and spraying, anyway I'm from telford hope to meet other subaru owners and ill pop up some pics once I go take them..
Jay762 Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Wotcha and welcome! yup get some pics up would be great to see what you have achieved!
Miggs Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 welcome along, sit down, relax and enjoy the club, as said get some progress piccies up too, always good to see before and afters
Ninja Noodle Posted July 29, 2013 Author Posted July 29, 2013 nothing to noticablr visually been done so before and aftershots would be useless although ill sort some of the engine. having issues uploading from my phone unsure why
Ninja Noodle Posted July 29, 2013 Author Posted July 29, 2013 Been a few changes since these photos, John Ashley backbox japstyle, changed to black and white interior the blue isn't to my taste, new drivers door as some fool drove into it. changed brake servo to turbo one as mine was screwed lol. still to do upgrade brakes as these are screwed anyway, change the engine, think that's everything besides cosmetic stuff like wheels refurbed and lower it etc 2
Gambit Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Looks nice mate. And only a few things changed then ;)
Miggs Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Love it, I too have a green wagon, love them headlights, are they angel eyes too? Always had a soft spot for them, I'll get some at some point
Ninja Noodle Posted July 31, 2013 Author Posted July 31, 2013 yeah angel eyes made a mistake getting chrome ones I think the black ones look a lot better on green but you learn by doing lol
Gambit Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 IMO the black headlights always look better I had chrome on my St170 that was silver and still think I should have had black :)
Miggs Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 I had black ones on my mk4 golf too, you could split the lense and paint them, maybe green to match the car
Ninja Noodle Posted July 31, 2013 Author Posted July 31, 2013 oh really, thought they were a sealed unit, something to look into that's for sure
Miggs Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Well the ones I had were depo lights and spkittable, I should imagine nearly all lights would split but without seeing yours I'm speculating, the glass is usually just bonded on with a strong silicone adhesive to the rear plastic housing so heating them up will loosen the glue and allow it to be split, I have said elsewhere on here about how to split lights using the oven
Gambit Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 I can't remember with mine I don't think I looked to be fair
Ninja Noodle Posted July 31, 2013 Author Posted July 31, 2013 yeah sealed with silicone time to get the Stanley knife and hairdryer lol, well once I'm finished at work
Miggs Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 You can cook them in the oven you know, much easier, just don't forget they are in there lol
Jay762 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 and have them glass down as the plastic will melt on the baking tray
Gambit Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 yeah sealed with silicone time to get the Stanley knife and hairdryer lol, well once I'm finished at work Sounds like the start of a good night out that :D
Miggs Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 I put mine in with the glass facing the door of the oven and plastic was perfect when they came out, just don'tuse too much heat and keep checking regularly
Jay762 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 seen a chap doing it for a motor bike light and it trashed the back, got some pictures somewhere - as you say though less heat and it would be fine
Ninja Noodle Posted July 31, 2013 Author Posted July 31, 2013 lol headlight baking recipe ain't took them off car yet to much rain grr
Gambit Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Well I wouldn't want to try it best of luck. Oh and any blooper moments please feel free to share we love a laugh ;) But hope all goes well :)
