Holy cow, what dream car! Spent this entire summer on and off dealing with the typical rust issues along all wheel housings, axles and suspensions on my 2004 2.0X Fozzy as best as a lowely amateur could go in a garage. Still lots of stuff to do, especially the mentioned sheet-metal bodywork to be inspected and treated. But I've decided to turn the "big guy" into a hunting project car, since it's the main purpose I use it for. I wish I had the time and resources for such a build, but anyway, it's a top motivation of what's possible with these awesome cars. SGs are the legend!

[@TheCreateOutdoors]

I first saw this build on Facebook then I followed you on Instagram more recently. Thank you for helping to fill a gap that missing in the SG Forester market. I'll 100% be buying some of those parts on your website soon.

[@Exploringinsilence]

This is one of the best Forester builds i've ever seen. Great work. Hopefully I can order pretty soon, I need this Rack and the side lights. See You on the Track....

[@dwynepen7626]

Wow bravo i now know what im going to do,with my 06 .. thanks for this

[@AndreiGajzago]

That's a mighty Forester ,I have a 06 and planning to do some mods and your project it's great inspiration especially that your so close to Romania ,cheers! I'll check out your website also, thank you and save travels!

[@Ramcharger2Travel]

Great set up, enjoy.

[@johnnumbat9782]

Great project my friend - great to see you have our Aussie Pedders and Redarc equipment - I now drive a Toyota Hilux but miss my Subarus after owning 12 of them - so later this year I will look for another XT Forester for weekend drives - most of us would scrap a fully rusted car so you’ve done a good job - rust is rare here in Australia even here in Tasmania - you can’t beat the Subaru exhaust growl which you can only get from unequal exhaust headers as post 2013 Subarus have equal exhaust headers (no growl) and sound uninteresting to my ears.

Jest super, zawsze takiego chciałem mieć. Pozdrawiam i czekam na więcej filmów z FORKIEM

Great job Viva Polska

[@jefflidberg9941]

Awesome build ❤

[@pongosp]

Nice Build 👍

[@adamknight1569]

Fantastic build. Very inspiring. Can't wait to get started on my 04 Forester. You should ship the Forester over to Australia and come touring Down Under with it.

[@adventurevanconversions]

We send it to USA this year, next stop should be Australia in 2025 :)

[@stefanwolf1603]

❤ Excellent ❤

[@MrZbiggles]

czesc, jak tam idzie? whatsup? thanks for the great video. especially because I am also about to get my ass into a 2004 subby 2.5xt. that is how i found your video. I really respect your attention to detail, cleaning the interior rust was the right move! jestem zadowolony. thats just the beginning. Doing your own artwork, and setting up the color scheme. so awesome. i hope your made room for a real good sound system in there. the FM transmitter deal, especially after all the hard work with the insulation and sound proofing... The right sound system in there would make it into a Space ship, that takes you away to a whole other level. great video. koham was. czesc

[@solton57010]

Great job

[@hellas2475]

Hi my friend. The most beautiful forester I have ever seen. I have also forester 2.0 xt 2004 model and I would like to know how much did it cost to make all this consept. Greetings from Hellas

[@pellcio]

It's REALLY too bad that Subaru doesn't offer the 2 speed transfercase in the U.S. I love Subies but this is one of the main items I think is/was not offered that keeps me from buying one. Because of the driveline architecture, there is no alternative to swap from other manufacturers. Your model generation is still my favorite..

[@rykertrombly]

Hey man! I love the build- could you please tell me what marker and spray paint y’all used over the Raptor lining? Thank you! Safe Travels!

[@HomebrewSubaru]

First I will say I love the attention put into this build. Looks like you had a vision and it turned great. I have been rebuilding my own with the same ideas in mind. Maybe I missed it but you have me curious as to the style of tank for LPG. Is it the pancake style sitting in the spare tire well? I like the idea of having a secondary fuel source but not sure how many years of driving it would take to be really worth a propane install.

[@adventurevanconversions]

It is pancake indeed in the spare, 55 liters of LPG, the investment is back after first 10.000kms as the LPG is 50% cheaper than regular 95-98 Petrol :) Subie takes around 16-20 liters of petrol as it is now depending on the driving style :)

[@HomebrewSubaru]

@@adventurevanconversions It is something I am going to want to reconsider. I see LPGSHOP in the UK has a great selection. Not much in the American market I can find. Like to see how the hosing and connections are routed. It's cool.

[@_pant0ne]

Jesteś pewien czy to są alu felgi? Szukam takich i znaleźć nie mogę, wszystko stalowe, Audi'03 5x100, 15" tak?

[@sanjaakhuuhse655]

What about engine?

[@overlandsubaruinternationa2378]

which winch you have how did you mount it

[@forester_overland_nz]

Do you have to take the tire off to open the rear door?

[@adventurevanconversions]

Hi! The back door opens easy with the wheel, ladder and trash bag on it. We replaced the door pistons to 1250nm

[@endlesscamp22]

Amazing build! Horrible amount of time and effort to put in...

[@bobitro8768]

How much is the total cost of this build?

[@adventurevanconversions]

45000 euro but at the moment it is different already l, much more tuned including the engine. Will make a movie soon :)

[@romanroberts3860]

[@romanroberts3860]
