Talking my new work van ..wagon :)

i have been looking for a shop run around for a while , something big enough to throw wheels in and also good for pottering to and from work in comfort ,i didnt really want a van or anything to big and also wanted something with rear seats for when i go away . it also needed to accomodate the dog

after searching about and looking at estate cars , twin cab vans i stumbled upon this (no less than 5 mins from my house in a guys garage)

a my97 gravel express
30k mles from new
sti interior
full pink sti suspension with pink shocks and springs
extensive service history

it drives like new , everythiing is tight and it does shift which makes me think it has had some fettling in japan , i will have to do some investigation when i get time .

had it 2 days now well chuffed with it , i also chucked a set of new rims on for now untill my NEW ones arrive

hope you like










when i picked it up on fri

my co pilot


it needs a good clean inside and out due to it sitting around for a while but the paint is immaculate and so its the interior so a few hours elbow grease will get it up to scratch

Sure it's not just a 97 wagon with a gash paint job.

Looks tidy.
