After searching and reading on club VR-4 that five holes (two at the front, two at the back, one at the middle support) will be left if the factory roof racks are removed, i'm wondering if it would be easy for a smash repairs to weld/cover this up?
Certainly right. It is the most basic grade of the facelift Legnums. But at a price i really can't go past for twin turbo performance and AWD. Plus, this will give me a chance to build it up from scratch.
No AYC? No worries. That just means she'll be lighter (so i keep telling myself lol)
have fun taking the roof rails off, the whole roof lineing has to come out and what ever is attached if its the same as my forester.. have fun and let us know how it goes, wouldnt mind doing this mod aswell.
Joe, so the roof lining has to go as well you think? I would have thought that the racks were pinned into the roof from the top and the lining sits clear under it?
im fairly sure once you remove the roof lineing you will see the five bolts, if they are pinned from the top it makes it even better and less of a pain in the ass.
