That looks awesome mate....
You must have spent some time on that
How long did it take to get the seats out? As mine have started to corrode around the bolting point....

Car looks great.

Hi Fez thanks for comment
The seats take less then ten mins to get both out held on with four 14mm bolts and one airbag sensor under drivers seat
To be honest I think it's a common problem on our impreza s. must be to do with the pillar less doors at a guess as I know when it snows and you open any doors the lot just falls in lol.

I've got a pair of them, if you're interested.

The rust on the seat rails is probably due to dragging water in on your shoes.

Looking fresh mate.

Those rims looks stunning.

What paint did you use on the seat bolt points?
