not been out in her for ages.
so long, that it was literally a question of blowing off the cobwebs.
to my dismay, needed a new battery, so £90 and twenty minutes later, she was outside for the first time in months and basking in the sunshine again.
what a glorious day for a Hoon.

Thanks
I had the car repainted last year, got them to plate over the side markers. The body wasnt that bad before repainting, it just had loads of stone chips and carpark related marks. I have no intention of selling the car so just wanted it to be mint again
Well having started in a UK WRX bug, then a widetrack Blob STI, this is my second bugeye, a JDM STI.
Recently back from the bodyshop having had front and rear bumpers, and bootlid / spoiler I'd sourced painted to match the car, then bonnet, scoop and front wings to get rid of stone chips and some deep scratches as the previous owner had done some fairly poor attempts with touch up paint that just looked terrible; little more to do as there were a few minor things I wasn't happy with, but it's looking a lot better now.
Excuse the first pic, fog covers hadn't gone back on at this point.
It's a work in progress; mapping, suspension, brakes and all servicing was taken care of first, then interior changed to a later widetrack centre console conversion and steering wheel, Turinis, and most recently another remap, then Prodrive front bumper, blob rear bumper and clusters and a STI spoiler. Oh and a JDM Legacy rear wiper. Getting there!
So hello at long last. I joined a while ago now but not posted before. Such a wealth of information here for which I have been grateful over the ownership of the car. Here's a couple of pics of the car as it's relatively clean at the moment (appreciate that Bugeye wagons don't appear to be everyone's cup of tea)...
