brilliant work

 

I thought the hawkeye donor was rear end damaged...?

 

Erm, it was. He basically but the Hawkeye front end/interior etc, onto a Bugeye shell which belonged to one of out club members

 

Rear lights and bumper seem to have escaped any damage considering it was 'heavily rear ended'....

 

just wondered how u r gonna register it with dvla now,is it gonna be a q plate,but what a cracking build.

 

You said you had to do some trimming, did you get any pics of the bits you trimmed, would have been useful reference for others, such as myself, looking at doing the Bug>hawk, got the Headlights and 1 wing so far!

Would the airbags not have gone off as well in a heavy rear ender?

 

Donor parts from another car perhaps? To get it 100% accurate, you'd have to match the lights and bumper from the hawkeye also.

 

why do people keep asking if it was rear ended or how come rear bumper aint damaged ???? if you look further up thread i managed to buy a rear bumper and lights off a hawkeye sport (cheap cheap) and used the boot lid off the bugeye also the airbags dont go off in a rear shunt often due to crash sensors mounted at front and side !!! also im a scooby breaker so have 100's of parts on the shelf including classic ,bugeye ,dropeye , and hawkeye .. so stop picking at things E-M-B as ive done it and you aint like it or lump it.... .

 

sorry to pester u but how will it be registered with dvla out of intrest

 

That kinda explains it EMB

Heres a good question, what colour is it being sprayed Are we going different to blue/grey, ST orange perhaps

 

Er, OP has answered that one too lol

 

Am abit unhappy mind,
I was hoping for a long, blood sheding thread of all your efforts taking a couple months,

Bit dissapointed you managed it in a week lol

 

Yeah, the OP must've been up to his eyeballs in Tartrazine, Red Bull, Pro Plus, etc. ... He went off on one, lol

As Darth Vader once said: "Impressiiive... Most impressive."

 

will be regestered on bugeye regestration with private plate may and may not declare 2.5 depends how i feel when i send logbook off lol

also might keep wrc blue but was looking at the blue to purple flip paints aswell

im also after a towing eye cover , front splitter , and rear roof spoiler before it goes to paint shop. ANYBODY ???????

still on a come down off all the red bull , was bouncing off the walls but hey if you can do it in 4 days good on ya need the garage empty for next project lol.

 

bloody impressive!!!

wasn't expecting this much so quick

 

I suggest you have a read of this before you start being the cocky know it all https://www.scoobynet.com/projects-4...uild-road.html

 

And I suggest not admitting that on a public forum

 

Thought I remembered EMB's thread for 2 years back...

Hows yours coming on Dazza. I'll have to pop round one day and annoy you for a bit

 

Damn you work fast!!!

On the discussion of seats, I personally prefer the black and grey. Colour of the car,
I love the Skyline purple

 

Simply awesome - was expecting a 3 month project

Which exhaust are you using - bug?

 

Well done Lee, looking really good

 

Lee you have done a crackeing job there mate i cant believe how quick you been well done

 

heres a update of last pics i got off lee hes still waiting for it back from paintshop they reckon monday ?? he also added sti fog covers bailey dumpvalve full decat system and has all the sti badges and stickers waiting to go on.

 

Not sure about putting the STI badges on. Always reminds me of my youth when people were putting Cosworth badges on 2.0LX sierras LOL

Don't dress things up to make them look like something they are not.

Other than that a cracking job

 

absolutely brilliant, this thread cant possibly show how much work this must have taken so fair play to you. agree with daz though if its a wrx dont badge it as an sti, as soon as you lift the bonnet or take somone for a ride they will know its not a real sti. great transformation project

 

anybody got any ideas on wheels as its got 17s on at minute and they look tiny and are hidden under arches. was thinking gold or white but do i put 18s/19s on and what size offset to bring them level with arches

 

bought some 19s with 45 offset tyres are 245/35/19 silver in colour will take pictures when fitted

 

heres some more updated pictures >>

 

I hate to say this but it looks like a half arsed paint job. Not stripped the trims off or even bothered to take the headlights out. Will look great when its done but will probably deteriorate quite quickly and the lacquer will no doubt start to peal away at the edges of the trims.

Shame that so much work has gone into it to only cut corners on the most important part of the job.

 

That's a great conversion Daz, nice job mate.
