Default Old v New(er)

After 6 years of owning a 93 wrx i decided to upgrade
No arty, farty shots (yet )
93 WRX, 6 years of fantastic motoring ,she was battered and bruised when i got rid of her (bodywork was quite poor but she was mechanically well maintained )





















final day of ownership some **** decides i don't really need one of my rear windows





My newer model
1998 Type R

Instead of starting a new thread decided to add a few photos to this one





Had the caps resprayed as they needed to be freshened up so bought some inserts inserts of ebay (as finding the original Speedline ones was nigh on impossible) so bought these,a tad cheesy perhaps but I like them

@ Shaks

@ JonMc yep as said bodywork not the best but didn't miss a beat for the 6 years I owned her (few sensors needed changing but not bad for a 19 year old car imo and she's still going strong as I know the new owner )
