[@gadvan-2522]

Good stuff…. Love the capt jack! Stop blowing holes in my ship! Lol

[@GrimmSpeed]

Haha, glad you enjoyed this one, thanks for tuning in!!

[@gryphon1171]

Good assist by the floor jack handle

[@walterhagans1465]

Despite the huge amount of rust and two broken bolts, it was fairly easy to come out 👍🏾

[@GrimmSpeed]

Not too bad honestly, we actually managed to have some fun believe it or not!

[@robbergerson4915]

Gets a A+ for the background noise at the beginning. Of course that rumble would make it through the mic!

[@Captaindan7141]

Those 19mm bolts for the front control arm love to snap, had 3 snap on me with various GCs. Also the rear subframe bolts, the diff outrigger bolts and, well I guess any bolts with captive nuts. Just be glad you didn't have to turn the Jesus bolts.

[@buecar]

Hello from SoCal! Blessed I never had any seize hehe I did have 1 rear trailing arm up front bolt snap the tacked insert inside, that was fun.

[@ONEKILLERXT]

Vary good episode, loving the little meme and cut aways

[@GrimmSpeed]

Glad you enjoyed it, we're definitely starting to have some fun with these eps!

[@tswvyee]

I would recoat the subframe before you guy put it all back on to prevent more rust on metal parts.

[@GrimmSpeed]

Definitely not a bad idea, it does have a factory coating, but could use another layer.

[@Christosan88]

Love to see the "restoration" please take an angle grinder to the chassis in those crusty spots and do a new coat of under liner.

[@GrimmSpeed]

Call it a resto on a time and money budget! Absolutely, we'll be stripping the panel off once more and grinding/cutting away the major rust.

[@zacks240sx]

i have also tried to wrangle out a 2.2 with a buddy. i was also unsuccessful lol

[@GrimmSpeed]

Not the best thing to do to your back.

[@emeryman92]

Love seeing gc builds. Hope to do one at some point in my life. Sick hoodie Art! Got my ewg from touge factory back in the day. Are you putting a grimmspeed tmic on the build or fmic. Excited for the outcome

[@GrimmSpeed]

They're such a fun car to work on because of the simplicity of the design, long before a bunch of safety and driving systems were shoved in! I would definitely encourage that; with GC Coupes/Sedans getting more expensive, I would suggest finding an Impreza Outback Sport Wagon and digging into that. Thanks for tuning in and for all the GS support, it's much appreciated! -Art

[@jeff666p]

You guys could of just unbolted the crossmembers,struts and the rear trailing arms and dropped the whole thing out in one go with the lift there.

[@GrimmSpeed]

And miss out on all that juicy KZbin content?? No way!

[@jeff666p]

Im shock the bolts snapped instead of the nuts break off the chassis. On my gc8 one of the rear ones the nut broke off the chassis

[@GrimmSpeed]

Same here! We did have rear nuts snap off so we'll have to dig in a little deeper to fix those.

[@buecar]

If that core wasn't leaking would of been good to flip. I do all I can to salvage these cars, Subaru won't help us.

[@GrimmSpeed]

That's a good point, maybe it's not too late to pull it out of the dumpster!

[@buecar]

@@GrimmSpeed You going to mention your blower plans in a future video? I have yet to install mine, I got this little unit from the UK for a defroster. Forgot the brand off hand
