hobo2701 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Was able to get everything even the ohlins wholesale and paid no labor costs. And saved for over a year. Patience and luck that I have a wonderful mechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostedgrocerygetter Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Even with the discount and no labor. That's still a lot of money. But congrats to you on this dream build. Can't wait to see this thing done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobo2701 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Sure is i got the car with the front mount and the turbo and full exhaust so really only had to buy the shortblock and all the suspension bits.

boxkita Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 while you're doing your front suspension, look at running a brake cooling hose to the discs and the hubs. If you plan to track it all, even autox, that will go along ways towards preserving your hubs. Hubs are notoriously heat-sensitive.

Snow Trooper Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Seems you guys like pictures, so I hope no one minds a photo bomb... fwiw I'm the lucky guy building this Unicorn, it has been pretty cool to do a proper Subaru compared to my normal european fare. Huge props to the man making it possible to go so big on a LGT and dealing with my OCD ways over the little things. http://vlmspec.com/assets/images/2005lgt/sm-8551.jpg http://vlmspec.com/assets/images/2005lgt/sm-8552.jpg http://vlmspec.com/assets/images/2005lgt/sm-8599.jpg http://vlmspec.com/assets/images/2005lgt/sm-8603.jpg http://vlmspec.com/assets/images/2005lgt/sm-8612.jpg http://vlmspec.com/assets/images/2005lgt/sm-8619.jpg http://vlmspec.com/assets/images/2005lgt/sm-8628.jpg http://vlmspec.com/assets/images/2005lgt/sm-8632.jpg http://vlmspec.com/assets/images/2005lgt/sm-8636.jpg http://vlmspec.com/assets/images/2005lgt/sm-8640.jpg http://vlmspec.com/assets/images/2005lgt/sm-8642.jpg http://vlmspec.com/assets/images/2005lgt/sm-8647.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobo2701 Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Thanks !!! Love y'all too couldn't be happier use to have a swp sedan lgt back in te winter of 04 when they first dropped had it for like a year and a half and slid of the road one day and it somehow caught in fire during it and was in the middle of no where when it happened so i got to watch my first lgt burn in front of me so it has been an important part of my life to get another and do it up as proper as i can. Thanks to all who subscribed and helped on this beautiful beast! My buddy who helped is gonna post some proper pics in next day or so with the engine bay and wheels ..
