I actually thought they were R34 GTR wheels.

 

You're welcome to them! I left 1998 behind a long time ago

The only lights that should grace the front of a bug imho

No they're cheap and nasty Team Dynamic K2's They're getting stuck in a pile in the shed to be used for rolling projects on! I won't be masking them when I paint the car either

 

Front stripped back, bay cleaned, seam sealed where needed and flatted and masking has begun. All going according to plan it should be primered by tomorrow

 

More progress than a certain someone....

 

 

Absolutely love this build thread.

So nice to see someone tackling stuff themselves. A bit of initiative and having a bit of confidence it will go ok, makes all the difference!

Looking forward to more updates

 

Cheers

Bay, roof and rear end primed! Topcoat tomorrow

 

I can now reveal the colour!

It's s202 sonic yellow! Makes a change to blu eh

 

Interesting choice of colour, something different, waiting for more pics outside of the custard

 

Looks more 'custardy' in the pics that it does in the flesh! The first two pics are closer to the actual colour than the second two! Its almost an 'orangey' yellow if you like

 

Certainly different.

Hope you're doing the door jams etc?

 

That's a brave colour choice and it looks great

 

Should look the biz when it's all painted!

Micky, full panel off re spray, couldn't have blue showing against that yellow!!

 

I like it ....

 

 

Great choice, best colour the bug came in if you ask me

 

Roof out in the sun this morning!



Pass side and underside of bonnet primed!

 

All sprayed in your garage at home? Fair play to you, what equipment are you using to spray with, compressor and spray gun attachment?

Love the choice of colour too

 

Cool. I like that! Very nice!

 

Yes, much better outside in the sun, not at all custardy

 

awesome colour for an impreza..........

 

The best!

 

 

Thanks, I'm using a Clarke compressor and a cheap gravity fed spray gun. Seems to work ok! Whist its not a 'show car' finish its still pretty good


Cheers guys

 

yes Trev, your girls made a great choice

...are you going to use black accents?

 

Didn't they

It was either this colour or white. Glad the majority wanted yellow! And its a Subaru colour so win win imho

As for black accents, where I can yes although I've not left much to 'accent' black - oh but the wheels won't be black

The interior is going to be mainly black! Got a mint set of Blob WRX seats for her last week, all black with out the WR1/Spec C price tag just need to find some matching door cards!

*edit* my PC has just auto corrected '' to ':noteworthy'

 

Can't wait to see the wheels

 

They'll be Marmite

 

Passenger side and bonnet underside complete. Got a bit carried away and got a couple of runs Nothing a wet sand (which its getting anyway) and a buff won't sort!!

 

that's really nice !
