magnusonsubie Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 How much body work is required to save her from the hail? is the hail damage limited to the roof and hood at least or did the quarterpanels and doors get damaged as well? 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrTris Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Every panel got hit :-( Time to read up on body panel work and get yourself a good dent hammer kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnusonsubie Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Time to read up on body panel work and get yourself a good dent hammer kit! Or do something completely unique and do a ton of custom work and figure out how to get the box flares from an STi and graft them onto a legacy wagon. I think that would be a first. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leviman Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Reminds me of the mythbusters episode where the made the Ford Taurus have a golf ball texture all over. It got better mileage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassafrass Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Haha better gas mileage, that's what I am going for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffy2.5xt Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 keep in mind to check the panels before commiting your ideas to become reality. if you have aluminum hood and fenders the body bill can get quite a bit pricier for custom work.

Enlight Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 How did you end up taking the dents out of the panels? Watched a video of a guy in Japan that hand straightened panels to restore 240z's, was beautiful.

Kassafrass Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 Whew!!! Finally started the build. I am super excited about this guys, check it out... I ended up getting an sti longblock with ARP head studs!! Zero miles, stoked! I still have the BNR 20g going in, along with Perrin fuel rails, ID 1000's, Crawford AOS, JDM STI TGV deletes, and probably more little things I am forgetting. I also upgraded the clutch to a stage 2 performance clutch. Here are some pictures as we are coming to a close end with the build as my tune is set up for this Wednesday!!! http://i59.tinypic.com/2uz4c2f.jpg http://i58.tinypic.com/23hn7o1.jpg Still up in the air about tuning to E85, but probably in the near future. Time to do some suspension upgrades after this. I also was blessed enough to get some 5x100 sti bbs's. http://i60.tinypic.com/a2f9kh.jpg Next to my man's new Spec B he just picked up, 121k for 7k. big plans for his build as well!!

BoozeRS05 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 You should ask/tell/convince() him to swap front ends with you. An 05 LGT wagon with a 5mt AND an 08 face lift, not many of those around.
