Subaru Forester STI Freshen Up JDM | EP1: First Clean & Paintwork (FILTHY, DIRTY & DAMAGED PAINT)
ฝัง

- Welcome to the first in a series of videos where i will detail the steps i take to freshen up and breathe new life back into this 2001 Subaru Forester STI (SF5).
This Japanese legend is absolutely filthy and needs a few small jobs doing, but overall is as straight as a die and almost completely factory original.
In this first episode i clean of layers of road dirt and bring her into the workshop to tackle the damaged paintwork on the drivers side roof rail. When a replacement pair of wind deflectors can’t be sourced i end up having to remove the passenger’s side deflector to match, but this doubles the paintwork required!
Check it out to see how i deal with the issues above.

The doggo wanted to play while you were cleaning drivers side, so cute and kinda sad :
Haha! Yeh I thought it would look like I was ignoring him in this video, but seriously rest assured... I spend a solid percentage of my day throwing that ball for him 😂
Thanks for the comment Daniel!
@@JohnnyGetsCash No problem, I'm really enjoying watching your videos, they are really really good. I'm also a carguy myself so I find them both interesting and helpful (I was really impressed how you've handled the clear coat chip on the Peugeot especially because I'll have to deal with the same thing on my car), so keep doing them because I've just watched the most recent one and can't wait for something new 😜
Oh and I've noticed that sometimes your camera losses the focus or something like that? I'm not sure is it due to the light or something with autofocus, but if you fix that, your videos would be perfect 😊.
So keep up your work,
cheers.
I'm really enjoying your video's and as someone who has been looking after my own vehicles for over 50 years and had varying degrees of success with paint I am impressed, and for what it's worth I think this looks far better without the deflectors
Thanks for your comment John,i appreciate your words!
Love the content mate really has got me missing doing content too il definitely have to start again. Keep up the good work
Thanks mate! You should definitely churn out some new stuff! Things have slowed down quite a bit with this latest lockdown but it won't be this way forever!
I was a panel beater and sprayer for years and I'm very impressed with your results considering you only use rattle cans. Well done 😊
Thanks very much!
Great vids
Watched all your videos to date and they have all been first class 👍🏻😁 . Nothing wrong in the way you do things as everyone will have a different approach but the end result will be the same a really good finish for the time and money spent 👍🏻.
Thanks Neil, appreciate your comment! Cheers
I owned two of them before love this ones to bits now sadly moved on to the sg5 love the vibes man
Cheers! This SF is for sale if you change your mind. Prices are climbing right now!
Don't put yourself down bud, looks amazing and it did not cost the earth, as you said let the results speak for themself, I am sure some people will say oww the colour is off or it looks too gloss or not gloss enough, but I think it is a respectable repair and would be happy with it, but there is no way I am going to drive an STI, lol. There is just no way I am going to say Im a STI man lol.
Cheers Dave! Can't please everyone, but I hope that the majority of people who view my videos will take away something of value, even if it's just a sense that they are able to take on so many more jobs that they probably think! Cheers!
I had one of these till someone nicked it from outside my house last year and ragged it to Bradford. Top cars!!
Sorry to hear that yours was stolen... But I know of a very nice example for sale 😉
Hey, can you explain why you didn't do a clear coat after the paint repair? Thanks! Love your videos!

Why wouldn’t you just put new shields back on both sides?

Over sprayyyyyy
What exhaust is compatable
How do you mean?
@@JohnnyGetsCash for the midpipe, what year usdm pipe do I need. I cant find the info on what year to buy.
@@class2instructor32 sorry, no idea. I didn't change the exhaust on this one.
@@JohnnyGetsCash hah worth a try
@@class2instructor32 I guess you're not in the UK as you were asking about usdm parts.... But I have a full stainless blitz system for sale that'd fit the sf5 👍
