Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?
They look great. What did you use to paint them? Type of paint? Any special prep work?

@SubaruJawn you should look into the Rain-X Restoration kit. It's what I used and the results were just fantastic... kit is only like $15 or less.

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?
Did u need to use a drill to get the results you got? do I have to remove them from the car? I wet sanded mine with 2000 paper and then polished them . I have to try the turtle Rain X stuff. Some people swear by Mothers and Turtle Wax too. Yours did look great.

Just replaced the heater mode motor.... what a pain the rearmost screw is to get back on threads
Now I get full defrost - one gear had lost a few of its teeth. Tapani |

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?
A work in progress of the engine cover that is slowly coming along as spare time permits. (and has been kind of a PITA to do )
The cover was already missing the logo and looked like crap beforehand so I nominated it to project material just for funzies. Finally made some headway with it this weekend and took some photos as it is... though, it isn't done yet. Hope to start on the gear selector after this is completed as I've been sitting on that idea for over a year now.

Drove the 97 while my brother drove the silver 600 miles to Meadville, PA.
Silver only devoured 2 quarts of oil on this trip. Edit: I still don't understand why everyone is so afraid to drive their SVX more than around the block.... Last edited by 1986nate; 01-08-2012 at 10:08 PM. |

I can't say for sure but I don't think the tranny will blow itself up. You should get some warning and be able to limp home . Your tranny sounded really strong in the video.

[QUOTE=1986nate;
Edit: I still don't understand why everyone is so afraid to drive their SVX more than around the block....[/QUOTE] Since getting her back on the road, my SVX has become my daily driver (again), driving her 70 miles/day to work, 6 days/week. Going back to the body shop today to have a small scratch fixed and a full body buffing.
