Right,
so i have now re-wired the whole car with a version 8 STI loom and had to change the fans and a couple of other plugs but the hard work and patients has paid off and finally got her off the axel stands and for a quick test drive.
The system still needs to be bleed fully and the clutch could do with more bleeding but she moves and drives well, so all i gotta do now is sort a few teething issues and then start saving up to have all the body work done and have the wide arch WRC kit.

so this thread has gone quiet for abit as of work and other commitments but as its a project build i have no time scale so ts means less stress and do bits as and when lol so at the weekend i finally got round to fabricating so sub-frames and mounted my new seats in for a test fit and my god are they comfy and very supportive.

Its amazing how far the build has come, to think that I had a bugeye wrx with a blown engine and stripped that to a bare shell and then used everything off my bugeye sti and with a few added extras and a hawkeye front it it is now nearly there.......

Starting to get a little bit excited that my car is going to ABW Designs in 2 weeks time, I have now fitted the lights and done another test fit and cant believe how well that ABW kit actually fits everything just bolts on perfectly

So I popped in to ABW the other day and kept an update of how the car is doing there and im amazed at the work that is being done, it looks amzing and a completely different car I cant wait till its finished and get it back and start putting it all back together, I now have my dash all flocked aswell now so parts are coming together and its slowly getting there
