LSA-SVX's freshly painted 92 SVX!

LSA-SVX, who owns the garage where I have all of my cars serviced, has a 92 SVX which was formerly a pearlie. He asked me to snap a picture and post it here when I was there today. I'll let him chime in with what has been done to it, but here is the pic!

It's beautiful.

If we did not know better, you could never tell that's a 20 year old design.

My 92 Ebony is just being fully painted, should get it back tomorrow or Friday. I hope it looks half as good.

Re: LSA-SVX's freshly painted 92 SVX!

that is a pretty cool looking color. I would have done something different with the grill but that is just my opinion.

How about a free flowing competition grille (homemade)? Actually more for function than for looks.

Re: LSA-SVX's freshly painted 92 SVX!

That looks like the one I sold off of my Silver '92 when I bought it. The previous owner stripped the clear lens off of a stock grille and formed it out of hardwware cloth, then liquid nailed it to the old grille corners/sides.

Re: LSA-SVX's freshly painted 92 SVX!

It's red actually. That color is called Swiss Ruby Mica (assuming it's a factory color). That color wasn't available in the US for some reason. http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...5&postcount=13
