Default Saloon arched wagon in the making

Just recently bought my first impreza, absolutly loving it!
Its a 05 wagon with the PPP. Needs a bit of attention in places but it can wait a few months till I stop driving it at every opportunity.

Detangod and satin blacked the headlights just after this pic aswell.

Cheers, but it's a bit of a 10ft'er, any closer and you can see its had some shoddy paint work. It looks like someone decided to get the car park dings sorted and took it to a nursery school to have to repairs done. You can see the filler and sanding marks though the paint work, the panels Have all original spot welds and seam sealer so I know it's wasn't anythink major.
Plan of action is to get it resprayed in the black with gold pearl, but it'll have to wait till early next year as I'm out of holiday now so won't have the time till then.

Had a slight bump in my Impreza last year

Decided not to claim as the insurance wanted to write it off 😕
Anyway done the work myself and got it back on the road in less than a week 😀 decided to go for the saloon front end and managed to get the bits and all fitted for less than my excess .
The doner car was being broken and also bought both rear quarters...

Just stumbled across this thread after your pics flashed-up on the page header!

Good skills Peskett! Hats off to you for getting stuck-in and turning a shunt into a reason to create a cool wagon! Seen plenty of front arch mods on wagons but this is the first I've seen with 'real' rears so well done. Looking fwd to seeing the finished job.

I agree with him ^ they are some impressive skills and your wagon is taking on a really good shape. Those arches will look great.

Cheers, progress is slow as work keep getting in the way =( but it's slowly getting there, just bought a wide track rear bumper and arches.

Also bought a better set of rear doors.
