PS, bronze wheels would be the perfect finishing touch (never been a fan of black wheels as you lose definition/detail).

Really like that and a good insight into how it's been done. Out of interest what exhaust have you got fitted? Looks subtle enough not to look out of place.

They are actually a really dark bronze, hard to see in the picture. I agree with the black wheels comment though, I'm not a fan of the black wheels.

Yep! Looks brilliant. Very good job indeed. Well done!


I want my 1963 beetle done in a very similar grey colour. Love it.


I see you changed your mind with wheel colour again!


Needs a front splitter IMO and will be perfect.

Few updated photos since it's been back on the road a while now, not really any updates other than a stage one RTS clutch and their lightened flywheel, I was warned about lightened flywheels making the box noisey but wasn't expecting it to sound like a straight cut box on overrun. The noise doesn't bother me but just didn't expect it to be so noticeable. In the new year I'm going to source some genuine winglets,fog light covers and then a splitter.

Looks fantastic.
Interesting comments about the lighted flywheel. I think my clutch will need replacing in the next 12 months and I was debating changing the flywheel.

Such an incredible transformation! Loving the colour - unquestionably the pièce de résistance. Fair play to you, buddy.

As I was looking through the pictures, I was thinking: the only things precluding this being the quintessential wagon are winglets, fog covers, and splitter... and possibly debadging the grille; I don't always advocate the look, but I think the plain, stealth-look grille would suit the aggressive paint and wheel colour scheme perfectly.

The $64,000 question is: will the fog covers remain blank or sport STi decals?

Your not a million miles away so if you ever want to see what it's like before hand your welcome.

Nice work my friend, very impressive what you've fabricated and the choices you've made to achieve the end product. Hats off to you

Brilliant!

This is the newage wagon Subaru should have produced in the first place. Then they could have offered it with STi power and running gear.

An excellent job! Well done!

Its been a while since i've done anything to this car and as the Mrs used it as a daily its starting to look a little unloved with various scratches,dents and curbed wheels. I'm looking into what to do as a bit of a refresh and thinking of going Spec C styling on the exterior with the removal of the side skirts, roof vent, removing the STI winglets currently fitted and new wheels etc.
