Amazing what a quick sandblast & paint can do to 17 year old brackets, pipes and crossmembers, might not look showroom new once it's done but should still be a heap tidier than it was. Used high temp/flameproof paint where appropriate, else its just standard enamel or acryllic I had laying about. Control arms came up nice with a bit of degreaser and a hand-wire brush. Yet to source all new rubber cooling system realted hoses but that'll be a job for the coming weeks, hopefully not too expensive through Subaru.





Manifold & coolant pipe just sitting on there for now, but I'm happy with the look
