That looks as if it should have been seam sealed first..
are they proper spot welds or plug welds?
Did they use a weld through primer?
Seam sealer would go a long way to hide the obvious crash damage from those pics..
Also might be worth checking but I want aware subaru painted under the bonnet properly..
Id have been tempted to spray it grey then allow some 'overspray' to taint it slightly.
Not that Id try and hide accident damage when repairing a scoob.

I would do the same with a pic but its fooking obvious around the front panel and wheel arch inner to chassis leg (where it isnt flat) that there is something untoward.. the back bit in the pic is one bit that also shows.
your top arrow ie top left pic isnt seam sealer its the front flange that bends upwards and welds to the front panel.. with two or three spotwelds iirc.

i have sealed all the seams (tedious job ) not bothered about hiding the damage though, just did enough to seal it mainly i'll worry about resale value a few years down the line

Are they the lightweight compo ones? If so, be v careful. What they don't tell you is that they're pretty much a consumable. Remove the wheels a few times and the threads get knackered, so it's bin time

The service life of these alloy nuts depends very much on how they are used with regard to mounting & demounting. We have customers who change them after one seasons rallying for example PC WRC. We also have others who are using the same wheel nuts since 1999...
also, managed to get a radiator over the weekend for 15 quid
not bad when the best price i'd had so far was over a 100

i was going to ask you about the removal process - got the GT4 regassed for 50 quid or something
things to do:
cam pulley still
headlights & sidelights need buying
bumper & bonnet need painting
plus a few other things that i've probably forgot about
