Sold it on and moved onto a Hawkeye STi for 18 months. But decided to return to a Classic due to them becoming rare and not really jelling with the Hawk as I had hoped.

Hawkeye sold on and after hunting around for a Type R or a P1 I decided to seek out my old Classic. Thankfully Nick kindly agreed to sell it back to me.
Dead chuffed to get it back and it has really made me appreciate how good it was and how good a classic is to drive.

 

Thats a lovely classic mate

 

nice to hear after all the hard work you have put into this car. hope he kept it as clean as you did.

 

She is lovely!!! It's similar to what i have right now. I've been toying with the idea of selling up for a hawk sti.

I think now you may have made my mind up for me.

 

That look like a very clean well looked after classic. I have always preferred my classic over others I have had or drove.

 

Very clean, looks like a good'un

 

Same here I have had my classic for over 12 years and could not let it go and now I will spend more on it then it's worth but I don't drink smoke or gamble

 

That is one nice classic impreza.

 

mint classic ..

 

Lovely lovely car, welcome back to a proper Scoob

 

Thanks for all the comments guy's...it will be getting alotta love now it's back.
It has kept well over the last 18 months, but then it should as it only done about 1500miles.

 

What a beautiful example you have there, not surprised you wanted it back mate. Really chuffed for you.

 

that is spankin'!!

 

Very clean mate
Guess that's what you call true love

 

My last Scoob was a X reg UK Turbo,same colour as yours modded to around 330 BHP. I,ve now got a MY 05 JDM STI,with about 375 BHP, but I still miss my UK Turbo. Yor car looks mint. Steve.

 

Would like to know the full spec and more pics if you have them

 

Very nice, Scott.

And another piccie :

 

Just got my wheels back from re-furb at Lepson's in Kent, as the guy I sold it to0 (Not Nick who I purchased it back from), managed to get all four looking in a sorry state.
Very pleased with results.....

Before.....


After......





Just need a bit of warmer weather to get under the arches for another coat of silver......

 

She looks great Scott, i did the right thing selling her back to you, you have put a lot of hard work into the car and she is a stunner for sure, very proud to a be able to say that i have owned her. if you ever decide to sell her again you know you have a buyer here

 

Beautiful car fella

 

Stunning Scott That's the first time I have ever seen the discs with a gold centre.... And it works

 

Stunning fella.

 

Lovely car

 

very nice example. good job she's back in the rightful hands..

 

Cheers for your comments guy's, it's appreciated........
I'm keeping an eye on Mr Silver Scooby Sports RA project thread and may rob a few idea's.
Although taking the body off to clean the underside is maybe a step too far for me......

 

Scott.... Yes I know what can I say

Don't worry I'm keeping an eye on you as well
Infact I'm going to drop you a pm tonight

 

very nice classic, just the look im trying to achieve with mine..fresh looking like

 

Another little update :

A bit of a refresh under the arches, and change from Eibach Sport Spings to Tein S-Tech.







The futures bright...The futures 'ORANGE'.....
Quite a substantial girth increase...well only 2mm extra, but it makes all the difference
