2 swaps... 3 cars..
Here is a quick opening run down to the three projects that crazyswede and I are going to be undertaking here. I found an ebony for sale in CT and we picked it up on tuesday night. The breakdown of what is happening

Ebony- Everything from my silver car is going into it, suspension, motor, 6spd etc etc. The current 4eat is shot and the motor is going into a Impreza track car.

Impreza L- currently has a built EJ25 but is going to be getting the stock EG33 from the ebony. This car is getting seam welded and caged and will be a designated track car.

My old silver car- not saying yet what the plans are for this...

I am doing most of the mechanical work and Dave (crazyswede) is handling most of the bodywork. Some pics to start things off with....

Bobby, good luck with your new project.

Edit: That front bumper reminds me of what my Claret looked like!

Re: 2 swaps... 3 cars..
Also, I didnt think I would ever say this but the painted interior looks great. It was done in AMG silver ( a mercedes color ) and has been clear coated, wet sanded, and buffed. I do not have labels on the buttons anymore, but I have owned enough of these by now to have it memorized... lol

Good luck with the swap!

I'm hoping to purchase an OBS one of these days and an EG swap sounds pretty cool, post up all the info you can on this

Re: 2 swaps... 3 cars..
Spent the day in the garage today (instead of Reading ).. Got the EG33 and tranny pulled from the ebony, swapped the front suspension from the silver car to the ebony, pulled everything off the car to get it prepped for the body work. Pics of the projects...

Stripped it to get ready for prep..


Getting ready to pull the motor....


Motor in my silver SVX waiting to go in the ebony....


Brakes and suspension is getting swapped from the silver car as well...


It's out...


End of the night...

Re: 2 swaps... 3 cars..
Thats interesting. Is that just for reinforcement in cornering I'm guessing?
