Cheers mate 
good to see the Subaru spirit is still alive! Tbh, it's only since I was reminded that it'll be a true 'classic' in years to come that I want to keep it! It's a Type R, one that I've wanted for a long time, it would be such a shame to take another one off the road!

Well done Merv really glad your keeping her!!!You gotta try and look at the positives (if at all possible) as you have and taking the opportunity to get everything else done and het her looking the way she left the factory. Great that you havnt set yourself an unrealistc timescale and things will be done time/wonga permitting. Onwardsa and upwards!!

Good things will definitely come to those who wait, I've written out a list of bits that I wanna do while it's off the road! It's a big list
if I was driving it then they wouldn't get done! I'm gutted I won't have it for th shows this year but thinking ahead that I will be mint with everything done just makes it all worthwhile!

Cheers mate, I was gutted I had to leave it there! If I had the cash I'd be getting the works done with the upgraded Cosworth bits
