Well it took me 60 hours by myself ( a first time subaru teardown ) to make the car a shell of itself
Watch out for those pesky door strikers. They are a bear to remove.

Seemly miles of harness in the car

Those door strikers have locktight on them, just heat the head for about 15 seconds with a propane torch and they spin out really easy. It's that damn big *** bolt in the rear knuckle that I'm still working on.

+1 on heating up the machine screws on the strikers it really was the easiest way.
