Before and After

This idea is from another forum but thought it was a good idea.
Before and after shots of your car. How you first got it and how it is now.


Not long after after I bought the car in the year 2000.

Holy Cow Richard!!! What a stunner back in the day!

Still a stunner now though too ;)

I'll have to dig up Ruby Scoo's original photo and have it scanned, you'll all wet your pants!

Cheers

I had almost forgotten what my Forry looked like the day I got it, compared to how it looks today :huh:
Looking at the before & after pics, I had to remind myself that its still the same Forry :biggrin:

Not often we get to see the paint on your car Damo....
 
Not a whole lot of transformation here. I'm mostly waiting to wear down the set of Michelins before i add the lift & A/T tires. Unfortunately, the treadwear life for them is 80,000 miles & i'm still sitting at 80%-85% tread remaining, so it may be a little while longer.

Here it is the day i got her..

And how she sits now, not quite as naked :iconwink:

^^ King springs, KYB gr2 struts, 3/4" strut spacers in the rear, 16" Forester wheels with 215/70/16 Yokohama Geolanders, PIAA fogs mounted on bumper. The stock fogs got smashed plowing through a frozen pond so I didn't mount the PIAAs down there. Still need skids and d/r.
 
Looking good Subaru_dude. Looks like the paints getting bit dull, i like the colour though.

yay for silver fozzies :monkeydance:
 
I haven't done a lot to mine, just window tint and new wheels.

The day I brought it home :

Less than a month later :

EDIT : Well, visually, that about all I've done to it..

I put a stiffer sway bar under the rear and I added a strut tower brace up front, to help the handling some.
 
Carl: I can't believe you've had your Yota for over four years now! I was kinda hoping that you would return to the Subaru fold sooner rather than later. And no, Laurie's Forester doesn't count. :)

I'll have to do Before and After shots with the next Forester I get...

Two ball joints.
One water pump/timing belt (just cause of the water pump).
One tranny pilot bearing.
One muffler, because of a stump I backed over...

...and that is all the issues I've had, just shy of 211k mi.

Just before SAS (solid axle swap) is when I get back into a Subie.:ebiggrin:
