Engine is out!
I wanted to do this in a day, but ran into some complications with the crane that set me back.

The new motorcycle exhaust still sounded a bit like two weed wackers running at the same time, so I made a quick mod

I also found out that a dome light from a 1999 Forester is a good upgrade from the original one.

Big fixes! Chopped up some neoprene to fill in the gaps, then covered that with more Bondo. It wasn't perfect, but after a little sanding and painting, it looks much better than before.

Rollercoaster of a weekend working on the car. Check the alt text, but the long story short is I need more Bondo

It turns out just deciding to go for it was what I needed. There were a few months of what felt like zero progress, but here we are with a clean cabin, some filled holes, and a refreshed wiring harness.

Just another day of working on an old car. This is the wiper motor, I took it off to have better access to paint under it. While I have it off, I decided to pack more grease and I somehow ended up with the housing off. Cleaned up the whole thing, now I'm not sure if I have it back together right

Today's work: Finish sanding the bondo in the engine bay, clean it up, then paint it with POR-15. Sand, clean, etch, paint on the seam behind it. Clean up leftover adhesive on the passenger side port hole, then wrap it and plug it.

The old subaru has more than a few rust holes, but I think I can manage them. I sealed up where the holes in the engine bay were, so I don't think it'll get worse.

I wanted to find a way to reuse my 3d print purge waste rather than just throwing it all out. Here's a test die to find out how to resin.
