Well after a couple of weeks wait im glad to say i pickef up my latest impreza tonight.
Just got to say a big thanks to Brian & Tim at Cams for getting it ready for me and big thanks to Jake for taking me up for it.

Got a quick pic of it on the way home at the maccy d's pit stop

 

 

Looking good Chris, welcome back lol

 

Cheers kev. Just a shame that old white wrecker managed to get in the pics lol

 

That white one seems to spend half it's life at Mc'ds lol

 

It knows its way there. I was just a passenger lol

 

Now i know why you took us the long way round !!

 

Looks great mate

Martin

 

very nice mate, love the wheels, what exhaust is that on it?

 

Its got a prodrive exhaust

 

Decided to give it a clean today, The paint wasn't in the best of condition



Gave it a going over with fast cut & my buffer



Gave the engine bay a quick clean aswell



Need to clean the exhaust up properly





Plans for Tomorrow are to fit these that I had for my Wagon



Also going to fit the STi side skirts that got thrown in with the deal at the same time

 

Not really done anything to the car but decided to re do the wheels Today.
Had a look in our paint cupboard at work & decided on a colour that we had a couple of spare tins of.

Started off with some 240 grit on my DA sander



Then went over again with 400 grit, The edges are kerbed but as I couldnt take the tyres off I had to do the best I could with the sanding tool on my dremel.

Gave then a couple of coats of grey primer



Had my heat gun on them to speed the process up a bit, Then gave them a good few coats of my choice of colour followed by a few thick coats of clear coat.





Only managed to do 2 of the wheels today but will get on with the other 2 hopefully tomorrow.

 

Looking good

 

Nice

 

Since I had the car jacked up and the wheels off I thought I may aswell give the struts, brake calipers and wheel arches a clean and re furb,

The struts were already Red but quite faded so I got a wire brush wheel and my drill and set about taking the rusty bits off



Did the same with the calipers & then gave the struts and calipers a coat of red again. Also painted all the wheel arch cover in satin Black



Went and got a set of replacement headlights aswell for it Today, So thanks to all at CAMS for sourcing them for me (Even though Tim didn't brew up!!)

Took all the front end off as the front bumper wasn't lining up properly & fitted lights along with my replacement Gloss black Grill and a new Metal front reg plate.





The headlights have been de tango'd but were slightly faded so I gave them a going over with some fast cut on a rag.



As you can see in that pic I also made a start on fitting the Rally Flapz that I had for a bit.

 

Nice blobeye ...

 

Nice, but boo for the cat flaps

 

Im not too sure on the flaps yet, Seen a few pics with them on & with the right set of wheels they look good.

Will see how it looks when they are all on and the 2 rear wheels are done, Also made a start on fitting the STi 8 skirts.

 

Looks nice mate

 

Very nice which red did you use??

 

Looks clean and fresh after the paint correction, good job, coming along nicely

 

It was Toyota 3E5 Red

 

Finished the wheels and mud flaps today, Re aligned all my bumper as it seemed to sit wrong.













Gloss black Grill & new metal number plate finished the front off
