this is where my knowledge is being added to as I go along... I thought the 04 blob had the same dash as the bug from 02 then it changed with the 05 model blob?

Wotcha and welcome!!

great stuff :)

and after taking 3 days to get to that point I can imagine your response :D

from the interior it looks like an MY04 model you should have a code like this on your vin plate GDAE48D GDAE48T plug it into this web page and see if it generates a result http://scoobyprojects.co.uk/technical/appliedmodel.php also this may help with the VIN breakdown http://www.cars101.com/subaru/vin.html

nice little tribute vid

all looks spot on!! thanks

excellent - we will really be able to hear you coming now :P

Does look like a proper job, nice result - I would have had to put a washer on the foremost bolt to match the rear one but that is just me being a bit ocd :)

Wotcha and welcome - they do put a big grin on your face that is for certain :)

that is a result - will you replace the oil hoses at the same time?

possibly - I know some work has been done to reconciliate all of the various trim options to the code number but I dont know how extensive that was. photos of the interior may give some idea also??

Mine either sorry - no bluetooth kit fitted

your code from the vin plate should give some idea, photos of the interior may get an answer from a member on the forum but probably a call to subaru would get a definitive answer

Brilliant - easy solution

Very nice chum - glad you got the one you wanted - those blue specs are still available ;)

Hi Jase, I believe what you have posted there is part of a longer serial ID on the VIN plate you will have that id as a prefix and then a code below it this link shows a diagram with location of the plate you want the 7 figure code below it. enter it into the field and it may give you the answer http://scoobyprojects.co.uk/technical/appliedmodel.php

pretty succinct ;)

Beefy - should be good and solid those :)

frustrating - clearly the chap was a moron, if you dont put a reserve on or a higher starting price its your own fault. Looks like he was trying to keep the listing cost as low as possible would be terrible if he re-lists it and gets a really high winning bid and the buyer drops out

best approach - that tends to be the way with most things particularly when people have something to gain

put it as a thread in the subarus for sale section see if there is a response

its not a light subject, that is for certain.

there is a fair amount of reading to be done just on SA alone, Dutch / English occupancy, discovering diamonds unsurprisingly a big fight, it goes on - throw in massive inter tribal hatred between Black nationals as well as white settlers and ever shrinking natural resources, its a bit of a powder keg. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_South_Africa http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~cale/cs201/apartheid.hist.html http://www.indyweek.com/triangleoffense/archives/2010/07/08/a-short-history-of-the-dutch-in-south-africa-1652-2010
