93 WRX project so far :)
Hi Guy,
Brought this from a local guy i know not so long ago it was the right price and i could see underneath it was a good car so i set to work.
When i picked it up!
First thing was removing the stickers and underneath was not a bad car at all! Few marks but nothing my mates bodyshop cannot sort for me.
Then onto the wheels not to my taste but they are not in bad conditon once cleaned up.
Just want to find some centre caps for them really.
After that it was lose the horrible bonnet vents
Before
After
Next was the rear lights!

I have done other bits also but she is finally getting there i collected a V4 STi exhuast system for it last night and a boot lid with the smaller spoiler as i cant stand the one thats on it.
But as she stands at the moment.
What do you think?

the spoiler is a rare early sti one, i had one on my first scoob & left it on as there are not many. Also managed to get hold of another one to paint up & fit to this scoob. I like them, obviously everyone is different !

Hopefully a few parts will start arriving over the next few days and I can update again. I have also just sorted a deal for a facelift front bumper this evening. I can't decide if I want to fit a P1 splitter or a STi front lip?
Opinions please guys?

STI front lip I reckon, quite a lot of people seem to be running the p1 splitter! an STI front lip and facelift conversion would look great in black with the low level rear spoiler..
great job cleaning her up though, I haven't seen her since the beginning of the thread

Love what you've done to it but I prefer it as it was before your latest update, there are ways to make these head turners and mine is one without facelifting them etc lol. Mine just looks aggressive in a standard sort of way and it's also rare to see a non facelifted model.

Another update.
I really hated the Red interior in there and it was badly worn so manage to get hold of a slighty later WRX interior (inc door cards) in really nice conditon
i didnt want to fit STi seats as it is not a STi.
