Can't argue with that! :)

Wagons with saloon front and rear arches look even better! few on here if I recall.

^^^^^^^

do like a wide arched wagon!!

quite a lot of performance cars look decent as wagons, b5 rs4, rs2, e36/e46 m3 conversions (there's a nice e92 m3 touring on the bay at the mo) old escort combi rs turbos

Just found that, it's lush!

Wagons rool!

Fishbowlhead 22 February 2018 02:18 PM

I love my wagon. Not loads of room for passengers in the back seats but it takes 2 seconds to fold the seats down for this massive space for transporting stuff.

Just a shame there wasn't a proper STI wagon done for all markets, unless I'm mistaken on that.

I'd second that.:thumb:
It would've saved me about £10k trying to build my own newage STi wagon.

Pics please 🙂

Edit. Thinking on it. I suppose the underrated hatchback is the logical step onwards from the wagon which of course does have an sti version.

Crikey you've spend some dough there specking everything up to sti standards.

Scooby Stevo 22 February 2018 10:57 PM

you can buy sti wagons, just not many around :thumb:

scoobypaul_temp 22 February 2018 11:18 PM

Amen to that :D

Fully forged 2.5 Blob wagon, once I have AP front brakes and whiteline ARB’s fitted, saloon front end conversion will be next:thumb:
(Got all the parts, need to get fitted!!!)

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...a971adcbf4.jpgI replaced my blob wagon with this, after viewing a couple of tired sti wagons. Hatches handle alot better than wagons, even after mods. But I still miss the blob!

TECHNOPUG 23 February 2018 11:14 AM

They made Bugeye Wagons although they are a bit of a half-way house as they still maintain the WRX track width IIRC.

I have wondered whether it would be easier to convert an STi saloon into a wagon, rather than swap everything across from an STi saloon to a wagon? Presumably the body only changes past the C pillar? Is the tailgate and saloon boot the same dimensions? Can't be a massive amount of work to cut the wagon tailgate section post C pillar and graft it onto a saloon.

Tres artistique. :thumb:

hedgecutter 23 February 2018 11:47 AM

Thank you, I am an artist, but not that kind😉

akafonzie 23 February 2018 12:12 PM

Can confirm, though i do like the hatches quite a lot too! If i move on from the blob it'll likely be to a JDM hatch.

Don Clark 23 February 2018 07:14 PM

The nicest looking wagon I've seen

TheAngryFerret 23 February 2018 09:16 PM

Thanks for the above comments on mine, got a few more little bit to do on the exterior but going to start on the engine side of things soon as it’s now at 130km and has started to loose a few ponies from under the bonnet.
