Hi all I haven't been on here for a few years so thought ide put a post so my previous Subaru classic ended up worse for wear dreaded rust so decide to hunt for a good shell and start from the beginning fully soda blasted and acid etch primed

Cracking post, what a lovely shell, as someone who has bought another classic impreza to find its rotten badly, this looks amazing work, what did you wrap your loom in? Been looking for something for a while, auto electrician left half my looms bare after fixing my wiring issue and screwing me over.
£700 is a bargain for such a clean shell.

Excellent build, very interested to see how this progresses.

It was a cheap eBay buy, ended up picking it up on a dark rainy night before lockdown hit. All old mot's had no mention of any rust lol.

Excellent work, love this progress.
And of course the natural place for car parts is in the kitchen. |
My friend was re building his engine , and washed his heads in the dishwasher , that is a proper use for it 👍😂

Due to unforeseen circumstances I am looking at selling the whole project if anyone would be interested
|
That's really sad. I'm always impressed when someone takes on this level of work on a driveway.
