It's been a while, so i thought i'd give a quick update.

Have finished most of my shopping for engine bits. The list so far:

Tomei copy un-equal length headers
Cosworth 272degree, 10mm lift cams
Cosworth valve springs
Cosworth sump baffle
Sard 850cc injectors


Genuine Subaru:
Gasket & seal kit
All coolant hoses
Timing belt
Thermostat
Idler pulleys
water pump
oil pump

The heads have been ported and polished, and the intake manifold match ported also.

My doors had a number of shopping trolley dents, and were generally looking 10yrs old, so I've bought 4 new doors and front fenders/guards from Subaru. I also picked up new door/window rubbers and gx roof rails (without the roof-rack mounting holes)

The body is 90% completed, and is looking incredible! Photos just dont do Benson's work justice. The paint job is amazing! I'll wack a photo up of how it's looking at the moment.


It looks blue... it is, but has a teal/aqua/green metalic fleck in it. It's so glassy, and looks amazingly deep.
Couldn't be happier!
