I was just being polite by not saying 'ditch the magnolia hide!'

The black leather seats in my WRX SL were in amazing condition considering the age but a wipe over with the 'matched' Gliptone dye and they look brand spanking new now, and it's a doddle to use.

Gliptone is the way to go for a colour change as well.

Good luck with the project.

 

Ok guys . Here's ma baby starting to look like a car. Got most the crap off but still needs a good valet and hot wash. But here she is. . Befor and after Looking sexy
























So here she is. She gonna need fuel pump due to having power but not working. So new plugs new pump and battery

 

Changing the oil as well before you try and fire it up?

I would if only to have a look at it.

 

No I didn't take as being mean pal. All help appreciated mate.

 

Yup got fresh oil gonna get filter too. She's gonna have a service. So all new service parts.

 

I would add all the belts & full cambelt kit, gearbox, diff oil and coolant,brake and power steering fluid to that too, fuel and air filters, after 7yrs standing I would change everything.

Also tell hubby he needs to pre fill the oil filter and disconnect the crank sensor under the alternator, turn it over 4 x 15 seconds to build oil pressure before re-connecting the crank sensor and then and only then fire it up, other wise you might be needing a new engine after a few hundred miles, also only use top quality fully synthetic oil, and shell V power or tesco momentum super unleaded fuel. and don't be revving the **** off it while it's cold.

 

I'd be inclined to Change the oil and filter. Remove the spark plugs and before you fit the new ones, Turn the engine over by hand with a spanner. It'll help to lubricate the bearings nice and slowly and you can check how it 'feels' before you fire it up.

As Ditchy said get all the belts changed.

 

+1 yep that's the best way to do it actually.

 

Cheers guys .

 

Loving your little swimming pool int boot

 

Yer everything gonna be changed pal. He knows about the turning engine etc as he's a zafira gsi turbo. But as stated before all help is appreciated . .

 

I know it's ace in it . Felt like getting bikini on haha.

 

The beast is up and running but knocking her head off so gonna do few oil changes and rest stuff cam belt etc. But she runs so excited and happy

 

Doesn't sounds so good, that's maybe why it's been stood for so long. Good luck though!

 

It was running fine. But Cause guy who owned it got sent to prison his mate stored it for him but just been left

 

We're just looking at you tube bids and could be an oil seal or crank seal but will see when we get to strip her lol

 

I was waiting for some stripping in this thread

 

Lol Joe only stripping your gonna see pal is of ma girls engine

 

Haha, I'll pass thanks. I've got my own in enough bits

 

Lol O dear what u done to yours u killed it.

 

Well ma girls engine being stripped down. She's started but knocking her head off and spoke to few people and all said lucky not bottom end it sounds like a shim so she's being stripped to see but boy what an *** getting cam belt cover off had to snap it. But also the cam belt bit loose so could be a tensioner loose. I will get this girl up and running proper if kills me .

 

empty the fuel tank before you try to start it, i expect it will need a new tank due to the water and crap inside it

doh, too late

 

The tank is fine the oil didn't have water in it . The fuel stunk a bit but part from knocking the car is running smooth . Our mates mate and other people said they surprised how good the car is even tho been stud for 8 years they can't believe it. Lol

 

Looks like it's got the potential to be a very nice example with a few new bits.

 

Is he serving a life sentence for molesting the Impreza? he should be with that gash interior..

 

Lol no nothing that sick thankfully of was I wouldn't have even touched the car . . And I'd of hunted him down

 

O defo. Getting new cam belt kit next week as seems could be the tensioners that are knackered cam belt was slack . But like said car runs sweet no miss fire no smoke no other noises just the tapping. So shall see for defo. She's had new plugs and oil and stuff she just needs discs and pads and welding on the sill which won't cost us much beige a mate doing It

 

Ok I'm gonna sound mega thick now. But how can u tell if ya car a wrx or not or are the turbos standers wrx. Mines the 2ltr turbo twin cam ?
