Thanks, I will try and get some new pics up this weekend, I was out of town all last weekend...

Update...

Installed new front wheel hub and cat and took it to get inspected! Car is now legal to drive and I have been trying to enjoy it, but with my work schedule and working on the black evo tht hasn't left much time..

Car has a small tranny/tcase leak, more than likely the two oring that separate the two... so need to get that taken care of as well...

Also have an electrical issue, the parking lights come on as soon as the ignition key is switched to the on position, been trying to track that down, but haven't had much time to mess with it... I did solder all the wires together in the driver foot well, but no luck with that... it is like a relay is stuck and causing the issue, I took out the 12V 40A fuse and it worked so I have some work to do...

Anyway on to the updated pics!

Great work! Car looks really good.
Have any better pics of the front lip?

After going waay to far into my first Evo and selling it, I've always wanted to pick up a cheap VIII that needs work and DD it. Looking great!

That is the main reason I got this one, the first one was built and has 65k on the build and is in dire need of a refresh... needed something else to drive while it is down looked at a bunch of other cars but nothing tickled my fancy quite like the evo...

good stuff. keep it up.

Look good man. Will be watching.

You should totally do that!

Small update for today... Fixed my electrical gremlin issue...I turned the ignition to on and started to pull fuses, and as soon as I pull up the radio fuse the parking lights went out... took the radio out and noticed whoever installed the aftermarket radio in the car spliced the illumination wire to the switched 12V power wire for the radio... This caused a ton of issues and I was even more worried last night because after I started up the car and let it warm up a bit I turned on the lights and the car died... it started back up, but still knew something had a bad current draw... Anyway, disconnected the illumination wire and all is well... while I was doing that I noticed that someone had vampire spliced into the ignition harness for the turbo timer that I ripped out of the car the first day I was working on it. I don't know how I didn't notice it before, but I had to depin that connector and put heat shrink over the wires as well to prevent arcing and sparking

Last thing on the list will be my least favorite... removing the t-case to install new O-rings and seal to fix the leak between the tranny and t-case...

I almost did get another! However, I needed something with a bit more cargo/towing capability, so I ended up with an 07 Forester Sports XT (5sp, 2.5 with a TD04). So it was a bit of a compromise but I can't say I regretted it. Oh, and its STOCK!

Will look for more updates, Freddie.

I was looking at Forester XTs, but almost all the ones around the area had super high mileage, and I and not too comfortable working on Subarus, so I always passed... I was also trying to find a Saabaru wagon as well, but same issue... The one car I would have gotten in a heartbeat had I been able to find one in good condition and not grossly overpriced was an 89-91 Civic 4 door wagon with AWD... I had one back in the day and it was a great car, especially for a daily...

03-04 Outlander! Cheap AWD 2003 have the 4G64 auto. I believe you can bump up the hp quite a bit without trouble. I just bought evo front hubs and brembos to lower mine down for a tighter ride.

It has crossed my mind quite a few times to get another Evo for a DD...then the reality sat in that the wife would divorce me and end up with both of the Evo's.

Update for today, troubleshot the keyless entry system... looks like I need a new driver door lock actuator... not sure if I want to purchase a new one or pop the old one apart and replace the motor in it...
