Yet Another Liberty From Liverpool

by **Arith** » Mon Oct 08, 2007 2:26 am

Hi all,

I was asking for advice on another forum about my recently acquired Liberty when Phil was kind enough to point out this forum. So thought I would check it out and hope to catch up with other owners to exchange ideas.

Very noice ride mate, welcome to the forum!

Post some pics buddy, I see you had a MY04 GT? great car huh?

by **Arith** » Mon Oct 08, 2007 9:49 am

Yes, the MY04 GT was excellent! I felt the 2.0GT has a bit of the edge over the 2.5GT, which I guess is why the JDM market stuck with the 2.0 engine, whereas the 2.5 engine was just to please the environmental requirements. The 2.5 is just too darn smooth!

But here are some pics for the MY04 GT, which I put a lot of work into. I miss it, but I sold it to someone whom I know will take good care of it:

And here's the new work in progress. Much more conservative because I wanted to go in a different direction, but pretty much a cookie cut twin. However I keep finding myself heading back to my roots and wanting to pimp it up again:

Unfortunately my number plate is SH44DW for the new one, but I am in Cabra every other week. But I'm in Bonnyrigg Heights, and am a frequent visitor of the Car Lovers in Green Valley.

Yup. I'm quite anal about appearance and I wanted a symmetrical look for the back, as well as removing any traces of rubicon red (pink) in favor of a more quiet appearance.

So I got out the dental floss and sliced off both the 'Tuned by' and the STi emblems.

Ahh. That's you? Cool beans! Yes, I always have an eye out for other Libertys in my area.

But I do go to Parra quite often, but I'm not a student. Too old.

My work takes me out to Kogarah everyday so I'm always on the M5 during the week.

Haha. Why is it that if people don't see me around Liverpool or Cabra it must mean I don't live there? I'm around, just not out much.

The place where I got the tint for the MY04 GT has yet to come out with the MY07, because in America the D series for the Liberty/Legacy doesn't come out until MY08.

However I do have spares for the MY04 GT, and the top shape is relatively the same. Just have to trim the bottom half. But I would have make the back-up light cut-outs myself though.
