Top work Simon. I love reading threads like this and it inspires me to do more on my own cars. I’ve always been a blob guy myself but the hawk WRC looks amazing! Really looking forward to see how it turns out!

Managed to get abit more done this afternoon, got both hubs installed with new shocker bolts washers nuts, balljoint pinch bolts and wishbone cones https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...761b8397a.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...471b07973.jpeg Installed the 24mm whiteline front arb and powdercoated brackets, still need to order new nuts and bolts and adjustable end links https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...977a52bc4.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...8e664a7f3.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...0dc468f8d.jpeg Put the mishimoto rad and new rad support plates on but ive misplaced the rubbers for now. Also need to order some slim line fans as the plastic oems foul on the rcm exhaust manifold https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...cc0a86b49.jpeg Then chucked the wings an bumper back on just to clear some space for the time being, also offered up a stock sti wheel in the arches to see how lost they would look. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...3869529b9.jpeg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...a39abd743.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...9eec4dd54.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...4bf566894.jpeg Thats all for now. Cheers |
Wow, you're only 25 and already doing these kinds of things? Great things to come from you, I think!
I really like this build :thumb: |
Thank you all for the kind words so far, done a few new bits this week.. got the steering rack all painted up, installed with powdercoated brackets and new hardware. Also new gaitors, rack ends and whiteline track rods. ( still fighting one side rackend)
https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...cb1dfc75b.jpeg Then chucked on the under plate brace with new hardware https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...2deef07fc.jpeg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...a4c6ec50f.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...76cff30e1.jpeg Headlights are now installed (need to work on the loom conversion at a later date) Cant get enough of the front end. Bumper needs triming slightly for the fmic core and then i will get nicer fitment around the headlights to wings and need to sort some mesh for the lower opening https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...53da65c0e.jpeg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...9253f4750.jpeg On with cleaning up and painting the driveshafts next, need to refill powersteering system, order down pipe gasket and fittings so i can refit the decat and finally order the mishimoto slimline fan kit. Thanks everyone. |
looks damn good!!
|
white bug:luvlove:
project is lovely to paint again whiteline bits to prevent rust |
More progress to document on the build steering rack is all refurbed now and built back up with powersteering fluid filled. One driveshaft painted and refitted, whiteline adjustable droplinks fitted, abs sensors fitted (few bolts on order still at subaru) and then got the U frame fitted on with new hardware and the whiteline spacers(which turned out to be fitted wrong when i removed them)
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...d571742ed.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...5ee07405f.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...259ba8c10.jpeg Also new genuine hawkeye bonnet latch and bolts and refitted bonnet cable https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...f18c7a549.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...25622a4b6.jpeg Ticking off the jobs on the list now, getting somewhere with it. Until i start the interior or back end underneath at least. Cant wait to get these refurbished and fitted too https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...e00823d15.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...14f476b13.jpeg and just for reflection here was some photo collabs done the other night just to see how far its come so far https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...20082e749.jpeg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...e2ade98d9.jpeg |
Some more good work, i always stick the wheels underneath too..... Just in case 👍
It shows your thinking properly in regards to working on a car supported with axle stands. Cant wait to see the end result. |
This looks epic and would love to do something similar with my Blob STi. I'd love to see a breakdown of costs. Having just spent £2500 replacing struts, springs, topmounts and all the associated crap that goes with doing that, all OEM, I can imagine this is several levels above that.

https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...daa0259e52.jpg Then bought this in 2001 and did 19K in 12 months. One of, if not the best I car I have owned. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...01df694c53.jpg Then had a big break due to family and now have this which sits in the garage and gets pampered but still get my daily WRC style thrills with the GR!! https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...af9763e80c.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...6c3b367ede.jpg |
Time to bring this upto date, progress has now stopped due to buying a new house and christmas etc. Front end is all rebuilt now suspension wise minus a few little bits in the engine bay and the front brakes.
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...e5c0a3395.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...a37803b09.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...0bc1f7d12.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...bfb3dcc79.jpeg then put the wheels back on, wheeled it outside to wash off all the dust and see how it looked https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...9b0912fe8.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...f23f68058.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...506e07629.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...b1869b96f.jpeg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...79f8e95f9.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...f1f6ed136.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...999699d5f.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...b383d4375.jpeg Thats it for now, the new house comes with a double space garage so more room for the car and to work on it. Will update more in the new year. |
Looking good👍

Looks awesome mate! Hopefully it won't be on hold for too long. :thumb:

Morning everyone, finally got the keys to the new house last week and have being busy decorating etc but we have now moved in. Got the hawk moved in and also bought back an old car i use to own as the price was right. So we now have a Wrx-S prodrive hatch, Hawkeye project car, Levorg, and an XV. Im going to sell the levorg so i have some money spare for the cars and house. Anyway onto the photos

Finally on with some progress shots

No holes as of yet, still need to drop the gearbox cradle off but need to get something to support the gearbox with, then its onto hours of wire wheeling and getting stuff ready for powdercoat |
I keep threatening to do this to mine, the fact that while it’s apart you might of well do all of it makes it expensive & time consuming.
Are you am going all out removing rust, seal & paint the underside & protect. Powdercoat subframes, lateral & trailing arms, diff cradle, gearbox brace etc & new bushes all round? |

A grand on arms :eek2:
Aren’t the WhiteLine ones half that? |
Yes something like that, or there are hardrace arms etc. Havent made my mind up yet, ive always wanted the Sti labelled arms but even just to rebush oem arms means i can spend a grand somewhere else, on a CAE shifter perhaps.
|
Figured it was probably time i add some upto date photos of the project, spent countless hours chasing out rust but i have now got both rear arches bare metal'd rust killed and primed(they were solid) and chassis legs done;
