July 29, 201312 yr 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..
July 29, 201312 yr Wotcha and welcome! yup get some pics up would be great to see what you have achieved!
July 29, 201312 yr welcome along, sit down, relax and enjoy the club, as said get some progress piccies up too, always good to see before and afters
July 29, 201312 yr Author 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
July 29, 201312 yr Author 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
July 31, 201312 yr 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
July 31, 201312 yr Author 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
July 31, 201312 yr IMO the black headlights always look better I had chrome on my St170 that was silver and still think I should have had black :)
July 31, 201312 yr I had black ones on my mk4 golf too, you could split the lense and paint them, maybe green to match the car
July 31, 201312 yr Author oh really, thought they were a sealed unit, something to look into that's for sure
July 31, 201312 yr 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
July 31, 201312 yr Author yeah sealed with silicone time to get the Stanley knife and hairdryer lol, well once I'm finished at work
July 31, 201312 yr You can cook them in the oven you know, much easier, just don't forget they are in there lol
July 31, 201312 yr 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
July 31, 201312 yr 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
July 31, 201312 yr 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
July 31, 201312 yr 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 :)
