After being in the Bodyshop for many weeks iv now got my uk2000 back and it’s now looking very fresh and is now completely rust free from top to bottom after having rear arches , sills , front wings ,, and paint over most of the car lol, thought it was worth the extra effort being one of the first turbo imprezas on the Uk market

Stunning bud well done, had a quote for bodywork to my car i was going to get done over lockdown but they have closed. So found another place, going to get a quote soon. How bad was the body work before?

the bodyshop I use is open luckily
whoever had it before had looked after it really well for its age ,, but as we all know once you find a little bit there is always more hiding ,, so it originally went it to touch up a rear arch ,, they found some filler aswell so they started cutting away and ended up replacing the whole arch and repairing behind it aswell and then doing the other side to make sure it was all done now ,, then they moved onto the Rear of the sills as both were looking a bit ruff but not rusted though ,,, the two front wings were me being super fussy as they were a bit wobbly due to what looks like someone leaning on them and then pulling them strait but didn't have any rust ,, then they painted the front bumper , both front wings , down both sides to the rear lights ,,, underside is been well looked after aswell so the subframes and stuff are all good
Can't see that hanging around long at all. Did you get the steering wheel retrimmed.
someone has already put there name to it , im putting it away for a couple of months for him due to this covid situation and everyone not knowing about work but I would of thought he will be having it all going well
yes mate ,, its had the old style seats (none bucket kind) and a old style steering wheel so I changed them and had the steering wheels trimmed before I put it in aswell
