I've been looking at a few newage Impreza's but i don't fancy the Hawk 2.5 chocolate engine, thorntons can keep them

But i do prefer the Hawk looks, i know i can buy a widetrack but there over priced at the moment. So was wondering how hard the conversion is. Is it just Bonnet, wings, bumper, grill, headlights and job done?

 

You have a bolb? Keep it mate, it's a rarity...only one made!

 

I allways wanted a BolB but had to settle for some chocolate instead ( sweet tooth

 

sell the Blob and buy the 2.0l jdm hawk job done..

 

full front end inc headlamp panels, buy the slam new, its about £90
you need to cut the inner wings and then modify the wiring, you also need to buy the bonnet latch and striker as these are different

its not hard just time consuming, and the parts are silly money, weve converted three now

As the man said

Read my thread, the process will be very similar, the costs, maybe more.

Buy my headlights, it's a start

Thats what i was concerned about if the slam panel needs changing etc. So no body modifications needed? Just panels?

 

It's the full slam panel. Headlamp panel and bumper beam.

There's quite a bit to it.

Not just bolt on. Drilling and welding needed too

 

The key words i was dreading, Drilling and welding.

Its got i will make a mess of it written all over it

 

Haven't bought one just looking at options first.

I can buy a low mile Blob Wrx for 5k, Whats a jdm hawk going to cost, only one i've seen is 12k be cheaper to get the Thornton's engine and forge it when goes bang

 

Hawks look like SEATs anyway, blob ftw

 

Blobs look ok, just the headlights, can't stand them, make the car look soft. Can't beat the classic for looks.

 

Simple answer-stick with your classic!

 

BOOM

 

Hi guys I love the Blob and was all set to buy one. Then I saw a Hake eye fell in love and had to have one. the parts are a nightmare hard to get any thing good because of the short production run. In the end I sold it. so no Scooby now

 

I am sticking to my classic, but due to getting older now, it spends most of its life tucked away from the weather.

Th blob would be a daily driver. To get a decent sti or wrx in classic form is to expensive, then you have the rust issues. Want to get away from having 2 Impreza's that i have to fight off the rust
