and stripping of the subaru




start getting engine out this week along with prop, gearbox so i am left with a rolling shell for measurements then all rest of the dash and wiring loom splitting it as i go so hopefully eng up with just a engine loom lol

some more progress pics engine and box are out need to start to remove the loom and all brakes etc from the car and split the loom down then its grinder/plasma cutting time lol heres a few pics for you

easy way to move a subaru


engine lined up roughly and looking good









more to follow hopefully get down there more in the evenings after thursday
