Hello All,

I am fairly new to this forum and cars in general. I had been scowering the web and local dealers for the right car and for months... nothing. When I got posted to CFB Borden my buddy (Millhouse_5 on the forum) found an 05 Ralliart in reasonably good condition for me to check out. The car's former owner is roblaza on the forum.

Let the Build BEGIN!

I have only had the car a week and I think all things considered i have managed to get a fair amount completed. Millhouse_5 has been a great help.

First things first, some cleaning under the hood.




To the right of the latch hole is cleaned and the left was what it was. Millhouse_5 and i scrubbed the whole hood.

I started to polish the headlights. the drivers side is basicly done but the passanger side needs a little more work just to get rid of the sand lines and some general cloudiness.

Before...


After...


Today we decided to paint the brake callipers. After breaking not one but two torque wrench adapters trying to remove the wheels we decided to take i to Canadian Tire. The wheels ended up being on at about 200lbs!


Once we were there I decided that they might as well do the more complicated installs (I'm no mechanic, but I am trying to learn... baby steps). After taking it to Canadian Tire to install the e-brake shoes and fix the starter issue, we finally got to remove the wheels to paint the brake calipers their original colour.

Right before paint...

Also, we used Rain-x on the windshield.

Some pics I took this afternoon. The 2008 Subaru Impreza 2.5i belongs to Millhouse_5

Hey guys, did some more stuff on my Ralliart.

I decided that the sub-box that was in the trunk was taking up too much space so i started to make a custom one out of painters tape, fiberglass cloth and fiberglass resin.

Here is the trunk taped.



I recommend doing two layers because when I was taking the tape off i noticed that some of the resin had seeped between the two layers and having only one layer could have resulted in a very sticky and messy trunk. The two layers were done perpendicular to each other.





Also, I painted my headers! they look alot better now that they are flat black.

Before and after.





Just waiting on a new alternator...

Next weekend i might paint up my alternator and head cover (whatever the hell that is technically called)

Looks good Tyler! Keep up the great progress.

I found another lug nut for the winter wheels in my toolbox. Let me know if you want it or if you bought a new replacement. I can get it to you if you want it.
