buy a series two front halfcut ( without motor if you can find one or sell motor) make sure you get all panels, bonnet and bonnet release and rio etc. in reasonable to good condition ( less fixit work before painting)

EDIT: don't forget the headlights..

swap the front guards, bar, bonnet etc. onto you car and then get it all sprayed or have it sprayed prior to fitting its up to you.

then hey presto series two conversion :P

you could go the whole hog and replace your dash aswell to get the dual airbags and all the seats and interior trim if you wanted but then you should probably just buy a series two IMO.

Been there done that, you will need:

Bonnet, head lights, front grill, front bar, Reo bar, Fog light wiring kit (unless you have fog lights on your S1)

No need for fenders, S1 and S2 are the same.

What's a 'reo bar'?

Reo = Reinforcement bar its holds up the front bar and is apart of the cars crush zone.

Circled in red.. this one is off a Series one though. The series two is a lot smaller (basically just the top half)

    • That would be interested if it's the case as seems like it would make the job a lot messier but subaru sells OEM gaskets so seems it might of had it.
    • Fuel tank is out. Looks pretty bloody good under (ie above) the fuel tank.  Amazing how good the factory e-coat holds up in the hidden areas.  No where near as much body deadener to get rid of as the front but still not looking forward to it!  Shit of a job.  I'm thinking I might grab a needle scaler and give that a go before I attack it with the angle grinder and wire wheel which is how I did the front 2/3's of the car.  Feels good to be working on the car again but who knows how long it will last!  Hopefully I can get it further forward than where it was prior to this last block of work when I decided to go back 10 steps further down the rabbit hole from where i already was! The problem is, I'm realising how hard it will be to repair and paint the bumpers, which cannot be put back on the car, and have a good paint match. There are also areas where it would be VERY hard to hide the new paint where it transitions from old paint. Like this- There is only one way to do that perfectly and I really dont want to have to do what that means I would have to do... 🤦‍♂️
    • Pretty sure the factory assembly doesn't have any gasket at all, just RTV.
    • I will get a couple cans for sure thanks, I do have 2lt fish oil to spray around the car already.
    • Thought I’d post pics of the packages for those interested. The premium package is #16. Remote start, security with tilt sensor and remote and backup battery, auto fold mirrors and door illumination.    Can post up pics of all the factory options and images from the factory options brochure if people are interested. I have all the dealer books etc for all rv37 models.
