Correctional was performed over two days and took around 15 hours to complete.

Equipment used:
- FLEX DA
- RUPES 21
- PC 7424
- various pads- yellow/ green foam and Surbuf R
- M105, Menz SIP, Sonax PF

LSP applied- two coats of Menzerna PL


Interior was given a Full Basic treatment- interior carpet and mats exracted, leather conditioned with Leatherique overnight and all the hard plastic cleaned and degreased.

Looks like some serious hardware is gonna drop this week at Geneva, not the least of which, is the 991 GT3:

The production P1 will be unveiled as well (although there's not much left to mystery at this point), the Ferrari hypercar, and hopefully BMW will finally show the F30 M3.

  WTB: 04-08 Subaru Forester 2.5XT 5spd
Posted by: JustinG - 03-03-2013, 09:39 PM - Forum: For Sale/Trade, WTB - Replies (15)

For those of you that don't pay attention to FB I am looking for a replacement for the jeep.

I've decided a 04-08 Forester 2.5XT, 5spd should fit the bill nicely.

If during your internet browsing sessions you can keep an eye out for one.

I don't think I want to spend over $11k.
04-08 2.5XT only, 04-05 will prob be the only ones in my price range.
Around 100k is cool, timing belt work being done is preferable at that mileage.
Prefer any color other than the red, but I'm open to it.
5spd.
I'm willing to travel a descent distance if need be.

Gracias.


  My Dumb 99' XJ Low Rider
Posted by: ibjeepin95 - 03-02-2013, 01:47 AM - Forum: Member's Projects - Replies (208)

So in November of 2011 I sold my 97' TJ because I was a wimp and was scared to beat on it. I still owed a little on it (bought it in high school), had way too much money dumped in it, and it wasn't my daily driver at the time. It sat most of the time and I wrenched on it so it could be an awesome lawn ornament. Here she is, right before I finished the tube fenders...

[Image: DSCF0569.jpg]

At that time, I had had 2 XJ's previously to my TJ, and I knew I wanted to go back. So after selling the TJ, I was on the hunt for a 97+ XJ that was in running shape and had an AW4. My plan was to buy a fairly beat one that ran good, but I wouldn't be scared to thrash. Well, things never go as planned. I came across an ad on Craigslist that I was sure was a scam, but took the bait anyways. Basically, I ended up with this:

[Image: DSCF0593.jpg]
1999 XJ with 130k miles, clean, almost perfectly straight body, and the poor college girl said she was selling it because she couldn't afford to fix it. Apparently, she thought it needed a radiator. I gave her $1600 cash, drove it home, put a radiator CAP on it, leak fixed. :mrgreen:

Interior was gross, but cleaned up well....

[Image: DSCF0596.jpg]

Well, I knew what I wanted to do. Plan was to keep my suspension height at around 3" over stock on 35" tires. So I pieced together some 3" springs, an add a leaf, some junk RC shocks, and a Clayton track bar w/ a Clayton bracket...

[Image: DSCF0600.jpg]

Annnnnnnndddd done....

[Image: DSCF0619.jpg]

Wheeled it all gay like and burned the tires off on the ice in GWNF....

[Image: DSCF0619.jpg]

So then I started getting it ready for 35's....

[Image: DSCF0628.jpg]

[Image: DSCF0621-1.jpg]

At some point ( maybe after the 35's?) I swapped in an 8.25 29 spline...
