Just a few of my mods that i feel are very unique and custom.

Spec C roof vent (Genuine item fitted by me) 3" Foglight ramair duct. Blended and painted.



Painted/polished diff guard




Custom system from Simpson Race Exhausts... not my work but very unique IMO.




Custom extinguisher bracket.



Suede trimmed wheel, flocked dash and custom pods.





Satin black interior trim



Gurney flap

Dyno Dynamics for the win! That's my favorite one.

2.2 L turbo legacy fully closed deck case-


Wait, it was bored out and sleeved with Darton ductile iron sleeves, oversized 13mm ARP head studs, custom 2.5L sti crank, ACL main/rod bearings, Pauter forged rods, Ross pistons, swaintech coatings on skirts and tops:

still got a bit of work to do............ Its top secret at the moment!

Things went a bit turbo, when i decided to weld up the rear door's, smooth and fill the rear handle's, smooth and fill the holes for the rear spoiler. I have Zero bodyshop experience but im handy with a welder.

Iv also made a few Custom parts under the bonnet, will get some pics of those tomorrow.




are there any other 3dr bugeye's out there?
