Cheers mr schofield. !!! :-)

 

.....because we know how much you like cats from your contributions on another thread.

 

Lol.

 

Hi mate this will be a cracker when done. Are you selling the large carbon spoiler? What other bits are you selling. Thanks.

Pic of mine as it is now.

 

Hi, all carbon bits and any other non original bits are now removed. So all up for grabs

 

hi i am led to belive that tubbytommy is looking for a few carbon bits for his scoob

 

How you getting on mate? Real shame whats been done to this (I would love a mint one)

 

It's almost prepped for the paint job. Engine is built waiting to go in. I'm just struggling to find a nice original interior.

 

 

Found this pic of this exact car a few year ago before the *******s got a grip of it

 

Good luck with the restoration

Great to see this being saved and not broken

 

Are you keeping the alloys Paddy?

 

I'm unsure on the wheels. They were brand new, with p zero tyres. only fitted a few weeks before me getting the car.

 

Project 555 is finished !!!

 

Get some pics up pal

 

Just gotta clean it now and take some good pictures.

Still missing a few critical bits like the interior and front splitter.

 

Being pedantic but Its not actually a 555 edition.

Looks great buddy.

 

Matty, it's no. 517 of 555 👍
Which makes it a 555 v-limited.

 

Its a WRX STI Version 3 V-limited with model number GC8D4ED. The fact they only made 555 doesn't mean its a 555 edition, that title was only ever used on the V2 STI 555.
Its a lovely car chap but think I'd change the seats to original ones. I believe they used the same seats as the normal V3 sti, grey with red bolsters.

 

Yea just checked.... same seats as normal sti.

 

Regardless of what it is that's some heroic work you've done there Padster

Such a shame it was buggered up so badly in such a short space of time.

Unfortunately most of these cars will end up covered in tat and abused before being broken for parts.

 

I understand your meaning, as the v2 with gc8c48d op code bkc being the only 555 on paper, I didn't read your post correctly re being pedantic. Lol

The v3 v limited is commonly referred to as a 555 due to being limited to 555 units.

The seats are slightly different they have a wrc blurb just beneath the Sti stitching.
But I'd be happy with some Sti standard seats !! Lol

 

Cheers rich, just been a long job with only being able to spend a couple of hours a month on it as the garage has been very busy. Had a quiet week so got some time on it.

 

Ah so you're not going bust and conning people out of thousands of pounds to cover your debts then?

 

Just ignore me buddy....
Ive just got a thing for getting the models correct thats all

I can see why it gets confused, the same happens with other models as some even have 555 stiched into the seats. The v3 type r I think has 555 on the seats for instance

As for your seats, yep think you're right. These are the ones I believe.....

 

Yep, there the ones !! 👍

 

No not this week unfortunately. !!

 

Few more pics after a rinse off. I'll take some better pics and put in the for sale section shortly.

 

That looks lovely why putting it up for sale??
