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

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?

 

looking good buddy, what was he thinking when he put those bonnet vents, spoiler and graphics on it!!

 

looking very clean there you have done an amazing job cleaning it up . looked propper chav with all those stickers and the bonnet vents

 

Great improvement, I'm quite into those BBS style rims at the moment and the look quite good

 

Thanks guys,

Does anyone know what spoiler is on my car? Ive seen quite a few early WRX's with them on. Im looking forward to changing it today if i get time for the smaller one

 

Spoiler Changed

 

Very subtle

 

Possibly an original STI spoiler

 

Looks really good now.

 

Ah that smaller spoiler has just made that car....ten times better now

Looks good, very subtle

 

nice and subtle

 

- sweet!

 

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 !

 

Hey guys,

Change of plan for the car now!



Also got a V6 Grill, V6 Sti Spoiler and a later rear bumper on there way, Im just trying to find a facelift front bumper then its going in for a full respray (same colour) Should be in for paint mid June.

Will keep you upto date.

 

Looking good mate

Another Scoob rescued

 

looking good mate

 

Cheers guys!

 

good job! much better now than it was

 

Looks much better.

 

Nooooooooooooooooooooo !

Was perfect in this pic

 

Originally the idea was to put her back to standard and keep it subtle and sell but its not worth anything!

So following my heart with this one as im going to keep it i was something that really turns heads

 

looks loads better mate
j

 

will look good either way but was really liking it as a pre-facelift, don't see many around now

 

Looks a lot better, (lloked hideous before!!)

Standard classic is good!!!!

Maybe some STI lights for the rear?

 

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

 

awesome job you have saved it from its shocking appearence when you got it

 

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.
