Default My UK impreza Wagon

so after searching a while i finally got myself a UK wagon within my price range, has a few small issues to sort nothing major, some bodywork to do ( small scabbing here and there, and a few scuffs) but overall a great car,








eventually i want the STi rear spoilers, STi rear lights and to get rid of the leather for some Sti seats

cheers mate, it does have a stack of receipts, recently had service, head gaskets changed, belts, knock sensor, temp sensor and others, does have a starting issue ( takes too long to start, waiting to have a diagnostic done) also think it has the common rotten filler neck issue, its my first jap car actually on the road, i have a twin turbo nissan im getting ready to go back on the road but due to having 3 sons the 300zx is not an ideal family motor, the subaru fits the bill perfectly

How many miles it done? You have same seats as me, keep using leather treatment on them so not to crack.

Have you serviced it as regards the poor starting? I'd try plugs, leads and then coil pack.

Think you could sell those seats for £100 and replace with standard cloth ones. I have original invoice for my seats new. £2500
