If it's anything like the description of your sarnies today, I dread to think what it'll be.

Hopefully it'll be a Subaru colour, I've got a paint sample on its way to see if its the shade I'm after!

I take it you meant your missus is a real Scouser..... I was born and bread quite literally at the Wallasey end of the Mersey tunnel until jumping ship to North Wales 6 years ago! As close to Liverpool as you can get this side of the Mersey

Cheers guys.

Arches? Have you got the dreaded tinworm in them

Quick dusting of primer. Getting there, still a way to go though.......

You got it Jon, well its the headlights part. No prodrive grille for this one, modded WRX instead!
These are arguably the best headlights bar none for the WRX



Quite pleased with how the front bumper has turned out too First time this car has had a face since its fire in 2011! Just missing fog covers (and the mods to the grille) to complete the front

Those wheels are still worse than my Venom's

Nice to see some progress, unlike some one.

Coming together nicely.
