It’s been awhile so here’s an update:
after lunch with @boxkita I felt a renewed motivation to install the massive pile of parts I had in the garage. Also, the family has officially added Mod Pizza to our list of spots so thank you for that sir!
Currently the car has the entire catalogue of whiteline bushings, complete subframe spacer delete, lgt kartboy shifter, Koni’s, swift springs, 2015 STI steering rack and the fenders have been rolled and clearanced. The ride is phenomenal and I have zero rub and the alignment is all green. I have 25mm wheel spacers that will definitely make things rub so I’m grabbing a set of 20mm spacers till I can decide on a set of wheels. Next project is powder coating the brembos and I got quote from a painter who does pretty good work on getting the girl a fresh coat of makeup. The roof is showing some light rust around the sunroof due to the bad crow checking from the paint. He made me a really good deal to do the top half when I offered to detrim the car and drop the sunroof. Anyone got a set of legacy wagon roof rails they would be willing to part with?
