Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

Thought about it a lot today.... the SVX that is. I've been lying dormant lately with all the issues I've had pile up on me recently but slowly getting back into the groove again. Needed a break anyhow. Anyways, I realized how very close I am to getting the project svx done and pulling the trigger on some last few bits I need to complete the overhaul, bringing it completely up to speed in the sense that it will be crescent fresh by summers end. (minus suspension but hopefully it's just something stupid in the rear end that can be bolted down / tightened properly but... maybe not)

Nate was kind enough to sell me some heated mirrors and a nice motorized driver seat before the interior is to be reupholstered. Stopped by several shops locally and they all acted completely dumbfounded with the idea of doing the seats and say there are no patterns available? Looks like I'll have but no choice but to go with PlanetSVX, not that it's necessarily a bad thing just that I heard their leather seems kind of thinnish. Also, I'm guessing that there is absolutely no new carpet to be made for these vehicles either as well. Same shops said they could lay carpet over the carpet or basically glue the new onto the old which sounds super tacky as hell. Suppose the carpet would be fine with a professional cleaning... however, really would like to do it new since everything else is going to be basically new. Any ideas?

Still quite torn/bent on the edge with the paint on which way I should go and all the bs that will be involved but despite what people will say or think.... I feel like I'm going to go with the color I got test painted on the spoiler not so long ago that I made a video of and have fallen in love with. I have a slight desire to round it all off and do a 4-5lbs turbo under there to make it a little extra special and give it just a little bit more kick without modding the hell out of anything else. Who knows if that'll ever happen though. If all goes as planned, it'll no longer be called the Laguna... but instead Polaris SVX... which will match it's newer color more accordingly. Polaris - is the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Minor. It is very close to the north celestial pole, making it the current northern pole star. It really does need a paint job and I may as well do it over with something I'd really like... even though the Laguna color is top shelf in itself. I'm sure I'll get **** for it.
