Bug to Hawk I get, even front end damaged Blob to Hawk, but your Blobeye above looked fantastic. I'd say it is a shame to convert, but still the conversion looks nice mate

Looks good mate. To all that preferred the blob I bet if the grill badge was fitted, a lower black zunsport grill, sti lip spoiler and black headlight mod I'm sure you will all change your mind. As it stands it just looks a little bare.

Get the mods done and fresh pictures and it will look the nuts

Plug for John Pye... their knowledge of subaru is excellent. They filled me with confidence.. they replaced all the rusty panels in the job...

Fixed the aircon... repositioned the FMIC.. built new brackets for it etc....

Repaired the front bumper...

The list is huge.

And it looks mint...

Just need the extra bits on tomorrow.
