[dex46]

That is a work of art on the scooby awesome work on both you should be proud

[scoobytoo]

The scooby was a show car I built for concourse comps, entered 6 shows and came runner up in 1 and 5 first in show/ classes. I'll put some more pics up soon !

That's one neat looking Subaru! As for the rims, I like the goldy ones better. It just looks.... right! A blue Subaru must have goldy rims.

Btw, in Sweden we often call Subarus "Subba", which in english means "B*tch".

[scoobytoo]

;DNorbos parcel arrived today !!








Another Ebay find arrived ...
A brand new seat lock with uncut key and barrel, swapped my lock and key straight over...



Also refurbished TWO pairs of genuine YAM mirrors ;D



I should have a few mint items to sell on soon

[Norbo]

blimey you dont hang about. you got them bits on quick . if they had been mine they would have sat about for a week then been fitted at some point .

[marsbar350]

quality scoob
thats a smart LC youve got .well done ;D ;D

[flames]

now thats very impressive.

[scoobytoo]

That's it, nearly time to put this one in the finished bikes thread !
A few quick shots today after I got her up and running and carbs balanced.







Time for an MOT I think !!

Tried doing some more plating today too, also picked up my m8's Z750p frame from the powder coaters today along with the suspension spring so put the rear shock back together too ;D




had a really good pair of wheels for mine too, been blasted ready for paint. polish and new bearings, might even treat them to a new set of boots ;D

[scoobytoo]

went over the bike today to do a final nut and bolt check so hopefully can get an MOT Saturday and some rent for it !
I decided to replace the standard reeds with some new Boyesons too, probably will need to upjet and replace the pilots too but will give it a run when the MOT is done,












Just need to get out in the open and get some of those scenic shots ! ;D

[marsbar350]

doesnt get much better than this scoob

cheers m8y,
Got a few odds and sods to do to make me 100% happy

Superb dude, fantastic work.
Please don't come to any shows where I'm going.

You even got the coolant at the correct level (below full) so it don't come out of the top when it wheelies.
Stunning build.

[Deleted]

beautifull, well done,these things pay you back everytime you lock at them

[scoobytoo]

Last piece of the build has been found ! needs some tlc and expert help on this one to get right but thers enough help on here to see it through I'm sure ;D





THE WORST BIT TO RECTIFY.....

[busaash]

thats a nice find , good luck with that repair . your bike is a stunner

[scoobytoo]

99'9% done at last. Due to my car accident this summer I didn't get to ride or MOT the lc but managed to get mt genuine pro am kit repaired and painted so I have fitted the decals on and managed to finish fitting the belly pan today
Here's a few shots for now, need to get out on it next year and get some "arty" shots.

[artie]

Absolutley stunning scooby,a real credit to you mate,well done,love the black Allspeeds and pro am kit,wicked

[marsbar350]

ist class job
love the period mods

[elsie1411]

just one word of warning scoob is watch the speeds don't melt the belly pan as mine seemed to get hotter than the standard pipes mate. looks a cracker tbh

[scoobytoo]

The pan was previously slightly melted on r/h it is close to the pipe tbh. I may get some heat reflective foil in the summer see if that helps.

[flames]

absolutely beautiful.if it were mine,i think i would be too scared to ride her...........but i think i could overcome that.

[tout]

A really nice build, seen you have used a good few superseeded bolts but sometimes its the only way . Are you 100% happy now ?
Great work,looks awesome mate
T

[scoobytoo]

Thanks Tout, tbh it's never going to be 100% perfect! The panels are all genuine, the tank is original and unpainted too. I just wonder if its now too clean to ride I would show it if there were more places/ shows in the south east.

[spondonchris]

Whats the rear shock you have used ?

[scoobytoo]

One of norbos I think ? Seems such along time ago now
