First of all, Thanks for checking out the thread. Subscribe if you'd like, pics will be updated frequently

Okay so, my first thread about the build of the car took a vacation to Dramaville and never came back. So I guess I'll just re-start it here.

So I bought a 2005 Subaru Legacy GT at the auto auctions for $2,094.71 (with shipping)

MSRP puts right over 20K suggested sale price

Not bad I think right? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

At any case.

This car is going to get the full treatment //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'm going to make this one classy and pretty loud LGT.

Pulled the engine.

The bad news //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Turbo is cracked. Needs to be replaced.

The engine will be completely rebuilt due to bent valve's from the belt getting ripped off. Will be done by my dad //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Thanks for the subscriptions guys.

I'm a pretty big picture taker, so this should be a fairly updated build

10% on windshield

Seriously?? Do you plan on driving this car? I have had 5% all the way around with 20% with 65w HID's and could not see a **** thing at dusk, night, rain, sleet, or snow.

I'm going to take a look. I know a tinted front windshield looks really nice.

maybe 10% will be too dark. I'm going to talk to my tint guys
