Ra sticker was supplied by them, just with the full spec of car and wots been done its worth more in parts sadly, not about the money or I'm short of it just lost my enthusiasm to finish it,

But with all the positive comments i am having 2nd foughts.

The car is simply stunning and a tribute to those who build themselves and not buy in so to speak.

If your looking for a soomething different, drop me a pm and can maybe sort a deal.

put it in a lock up, forget about it. then one day, the bug will bite again

I actually saw this a few weeks ago at MLRSS I parked next to him, looked as good if not better in the flesh....

Just keep it howes, if you did break I'd give it a few months before you get another impreza and start all over again....

Projects are a big thing, time consuming and expensive, looks like the hard part is getting them over the line, I'm in the middle of one and have wondered what am I doing, will it ever be finished but after going to japfest on Saturday I'more keen than ever now!

Think you guys have a point and thanx for the kind words, makes all my hard work seem worth while, the car wonts for nothing good bhp, big brakes, etc etc, like you all say I'm a fool to break it, time to let the peeps down that wanted parts that's going to be the hard bit.

Seems a shame to break it, glad you're having second thoughts. Plenty of us are having ups and downs with our projects (time and money being short) but you just need to plug on

Way too nice to break, I am sure that those interested in buying the parts will understand.

That is a nice looking classic.
