Decided to give the Impreza 'Pick Up' a spruce up.
After being stood for over a year and parts being nicked off it for other uses, now decided to get it back on the road.
We are now deseaming the roof and putting different side skirts on it, also think we will used facelift front bumper instead of 22B and maybe invent a few other parts for it.
Heres where were up to................................
Hopefully have it done in the next couple of weeks or so.

That's sweet
I fancy keeping my DBM, but with a bit more colour change, some light blue metal flake or something to make it react better in light

if you look the checker plate is still in there (just - the roll over bars) not to shiney anymore and would look good as is then if they went for the Matt black.
and its not heavy at all ive just plated out the insides of a bmw 325i E30 and its prob still lighter than all the door cards trim and plastic moldings i took out

Have I seen this car kicking around Livingston, or is it an imposter?
