Hey all, this is my build journal/adventure journal for my MULTIBARU!
THE REASON
I've played with subarus as buggys and offroaders but never got serious until i lent my last impreza buggy to a mate. When I got it back it had been towed by the c pillar (bent), overheated, iron sand in the air intake and one tyre completely shredded...completely shredded..
So it was only a matter of time until my next subaru. And after convincing the girlfriend the 93 BG5 TS-R was a good buy as a work and back car and spending undisclosed amounts of money on the timing belt and heads being rebuilt after the inevitable failure of the headgaskets etc etc Its finally time to put it all together so I thought I would indulge you fine persons at OS with some build action.
THE GEAR
As of now i have scavenged outback suspension, outback bodylift, hi/lo ratio gearbox and 215/65/16 snow tyres, also other assortments of spotlights, water tank, elec water pump, rather swish looking switchboard, roof racks, indoor lighting, roof vent, full sheet of 3mm alli plate for the whole underbelly, 6mm steel bashplate (I can be a bit reckless) its also on the cards for an electric winch which will sit on custom made bush basher bars that I will fab up myself. and diff a breather, I'll probably need a diff breather
THE PLAN
Pretty much if you can think apocalypse camper you've probably got a good picture in your head of what I'm going for. I've got the motor coming from the shop in the next few weeks so when that gets here the build will be in motion.
Wish me luck.
