AWDrift123 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 [07/31/15] Hello. Many of you may have seen my first legacy build, now the SpecB stays in the garage and i've started working on the second legacy. http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/11406915_10206516797939568_5887939546640751706_n_zps3wtiqmtq.jpg I bought this Legacy from a friend of mine when it happened to die going over the mountain pass. It being more boxier than the 06, I'm looking more forward to seeing the outcome. 1st Legacy built - 2006 Subaru Legacy GT Spec.B #307/500 - Catless "Stage 2" tuned on E85 @ 19lbs http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/10659069_10204559461367377_4866241124367766806_o_zpsdxcgjhsw.jpg http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/10473862_10204559461727386_8618807028809836829_o_zpsqlzd8aas.jpg http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/10688196_10204559461447379_8633940714551461142_o_zpssparlmu7.jpg http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/1979362_10203940717779174_3980675779764996554_o_zpsoxgdxzmp.jpg 2nd Legacy build - 2001 Subaru Legacy GT MT - Purchased with mismatching rims, rust in few places, damaged fender, rear panel, bare tires with wires hanging out, not to mention passenger front wheel only had 3 studs. lol http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/1510455_10206497944388241_3857763754104543596_n_zpshq4qevqi.jpg http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/11391474_10206497944268238_113749382682868480_n_zpsy492tbqd.jpg http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/11652_10206497944108234_4198745470861796213_n_zpsrjmjlv1s.jpg 07/31 - Oil change - Broken studs were replaced - 18" wheels mounted http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/IMG_3442_zpstxwd2vxx.jpg - Received new headlights in the mail http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/IMG_3451_zpsipnthl5k.jpg Parts on their way - 2004 Legacy L front bumper - Replacement fender - Rear wheel bearing - Aftermarket side skirt Once all body parts arrive, they will be put on at once.

AWDrift123 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 [08/09/15] So here's update to the 2nd legacy build as of today. I am still not too sure which color to go for after all body work has been finished... I dipped one side blue to see if I like it, it does look bit "ricey" but some what like it. http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/LGT01/IMG_3506_zpsrycnmjmz.jpg Colors in mind - Rally Blue - Black I received new headlights in the mail. Before I could install, I needed to remove the ugly orange pieces, so it was baking time Baking http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/LGT01/IMG_3511_zps1dlvef8t.jpg Headlight disassembled http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/LGT01/IMG_3510_zpsafbbjkor.jpg Finished product http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/LGT01/IMG_3512_zps6x6nd2xk.jpg Then the rest of the goodies showed up in the mail. Time to see if they all go well together! Parts - 2004 bumper - Modified headlights - Fog lights from my 06 legacy - STI S204 front lip - New fender - STI Rear spats http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/LGT01/IMG_3541_zpsabq6xjis.jpg Before installation http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/LGT01/IMG_3540_zpsww1khka8.jpg After taking all the parts off, she looks sad...lol http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/LGT01/IMG_3542_zpsbg5edu9u.jpg Installed fender, front bumper and headlights http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/LGT01/IMG_3543_zpsq015ufiw.jpg Now it was time to install the front lip. This was pretty difficult since the shape of STI bumper is quite different than the 04 legacy. Advantage of polyurethane body parts is that heat can reshape them Mounted - before reshaping http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/LGT01/IMG_3547_zpsdw8was5q.jpg After reshaping passenger side http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/LGT01/IMG_3546_zpsir21rifr.jpg After reshaping all sides - minor errors were fixed after this picture was taken http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/LGT01/IMG_3551_zpsywwxq0d3.jpg Now the finished product http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/LGT01/IMG_3549_zpsbpg0f4zw.jpg Took picture of the car in a angle to see how it would look all black http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/LGT01/IMG_3552_zpsfwcuuwui.jpg I think it's starting to come along pretty well...? Next update will have these things done, parts should arrive next week. - Aftermarket side skirts - Rear spat cut and modified to fit 01 rear stock bumper - 2" fender flares - yes, she will sit wide :D By the time those are finished, I will need to make up my mind on color of the car. Any input would be appreciated!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWDrift123 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 [08/18/15] 08/18/15 Update Side skirt, fender flares, rear spats arrived! Before installing these parts, I had several things to complete.. Getting out the Bondo and fixing the "cancer" car had on the rear panels first! Picture was taken before adding few more layers then sanding down smooth. http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/IMG_4047_zpsvay49e28.jpg Then debadged the whole car Now it was time to install the fender flares! These fender flares are 2" so soon I will need to correct the offset. Front Fender view (sorry for the car being dirty...) http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/IMG_4046_zpshf1npo58.jpg Rear fender view - you also see the rear spat on there!! http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/IMG_4048_zpshhveg6y4.jpg Front view showing 2" flare http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/IMG_4045_zpsioilw2iw.jpg Overview of the car with fender flares and rear spat installed http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/IMG_4050%202_zpswqg7aogj.jpg Now it was time to add the final body piece...skirts! http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/IMG_4052_zpsqfsqv3go.jpg Few more pictures of the overview http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/IMG_4054_zpsfgxseaz2.jpg http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/sean_123_83/IMG_4056_zpscsff2t25.jpg You notice that I have not cut the original fender panel yet. This will be cut once offset issue has been corrected first. Next week the car will be going to be all black and shiny Then tint will come eventually...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collin mcbae Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 How did you bake the Orange off of the headlights? Is there a thread I can look for that describes the process? Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBisson Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 The orange is a lens on the inside of the headlight. Bake the headlight and separate the housing and remove the lense Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
