Default the wifes car

well after getting stitched with a my95 wrx and it costing the earth for her to insure i found this on ebay minus engine and collected for 550, i then bought a engine that had had piston ring failure and rebuilt, just a standard rebuild and she just covered 2000 miles since so fingers crossed she'll be fine. heres couple of pics.


she needs new rims as two have slight buckle and want to lower it about 25mm not too much as its her daily.

Not bad for the price, will look good once you've lowered her and some anthracite newage WRX wheels will suit it really well - seen it done before and it'll be cheap in keeping with the current theme
