Get well soon Steve, i'll be following the thread as i know youir attention to detail is excellent, i'll pick up a few pointers hopefully and ideas for my own, the car looks great .
I thought it was meant to be a minor clean up and send it back out there. Aren't you meant to be resting lol.
How is your health Steve.
yes well iv never been one for doing half jobs lol ,, my health isnt the best at the mo and we are still trying to find out what's going on so tests an lots of medication seem to be the thing at the mo lol
its not actully me doing all the major work on the underside so I can't give any tips im afraid lol
the blue is a buzz weld product but its the same as the raptor as its like a bed coat and nice and strong ,,, its had 3 coats of rust encapsulation first them 3 coats of the blue as its been tinted with body colour
He is still a young lad lol, could do it in his garage
haha, would definitely be an “in the garage on my own” job for me, I’m afraid.. “Spritely” 42 year old (how did that happen???) , but two kids make sure I’m never spending that kind of money on the wrx 😞
to do a good job still cost a few quid just in refurbishing parts and buying new bushes and stuff ,,, its not just a coat of underseal and think that covers it all lol

Oh I know mate. A lot of the cost is due to labour intensity though and with the amount of labour required you can understand the prices for a drive in drive out job. But looks like @Henrik has been doing his homework plus seems good at working on his car. I reckon he could tackle it and I wouldn't have been surprised if you got stuck in Steve but better to rest up then making yourself worse.
With the price of paint at the minute it would probably cost a lot more to do now though if you were to get a quote or even do it yourself.
Looks amazing Steve! What’s the plans for the power plant?
no plans for it power wise mate ,, plan is to sell up once its completely ready , same with my type R ,,, so it will just leave me with the WRC build and I can focus on that over the next couple of years to get it sorted , and I can also buy something easier to live with as driving the subarus is getting harder for me these days lol
A solid 350hp would make this a very fun car! Im hearing you on the comfort side, I’m looking at selling one of my spec c’s next month to get something a bit more practical.

its already running around 280 ish so its got plenty for now really lol
Underside is now finished ,, there are still one or two paint imperfections on the top half that I’m not happy with so looking like it’s back off to the bodyshop to be corrected but at least we are partly finished now lol
if anyone would be interested in buying this RA 555 WRC limited then please feel free to get in touch with me ,, as you can see by the thread the car has had a full restoration from outside to underneath and some interior bits aswell
