Jimbobs project, code name - Scrap to Super!!
Hi guys, just bought a WRX in need of work and TLC.
Engines gone, and paint is terrible, but should sort easy enough and for £500 can`t grumble. I`m based in Swansea, anyone local I`m living in Hendy right by J48 to Llanelli. Should be giving her a new engine in a few weeks so should be a good laugh. I`m an area rep on VVOC.com (Vectra Owners), and have a modified 3.0 V6 Veccy B with 251bhp and 250lbft, not bad for a rep mobile. Hoping to get the Impreza for weekend fun, as I`ve always loved the Scoobs. Anyways heres my new shed, hopefully will be better when I`ve finished. http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t...Photo01281.jpg http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t.../Photo0124.jpg http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t.../Photo0126.jpg http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t...COOBYDOO/1.jpg |

But think the Scoob will end up being more fun!!

Oh and fair play she is a shed!! lol.
So will need a lot of TLC and paint, body work is pretty straight, but has been BADLY painted a few times. So none of it is any use lol. Loads of rubber trims off and in the boot, dash half apart, so in a sorry state. |
Damn this Internet explorer done it again.
|
Not a shed really just in need of some love and care.:)
|
Welcome. Looks like it'll scrub up well once the mechanicals are done.
Hopefully, we'll see you on the road soon. |
Welcome to Scoobynet. Goodluck with the re-build :thumb:
|
Hiya!
|
Good luck with the car buddy, it's got some potential :thumb: Welcome to Scoobynet :D
|
Welcome to the forum, I used to work with the lads father who you bought that off. Hopefully you will get it going again, and give it some tidy paint at last:thumb:

On a positive note there is so much oem stuff availble for the pre facelift models you will be able to find all you need easy and cheaply as well. |

Wecome to SN - Good luck with the new Scoob, nice to see one getting some TLC, Recaro's should be good ;)

Will I need a new set of mounting rails or can I reuse the scoobies ones? |
I was looking at a pair for my BUG, needs the custom Recaro frames to fit, that's as far as I went - I'll get a pair 1 day ;) There was a black set of Recaro buckets on the F/S section the other day - non reclining type - if that's any help. The model range should fit as they make an Impreza mounting frame :)
Failing that - What about some STi ones ?? |
