Slowly getting there!!!! (White Classic)
 

6 months after returning to the Subaru community and my project car is starting to take shape.

It's a 1998 WRX, came into the country around September 2010, has the standard VF22 and I searched high and low for one in this condition.

Here is what it looked like in Feb 2012, when I bought it......

Today I went to see Mags at RTS and he sorted me some wheels, now I'm getting excited to have the car finished :D

I hope you like the progress so far......

Well your slowly getting there ;) I don't think its that good a paint match for the front bumper :D

Looks nice buddy, starting to take shape nicely :)

Yeah, apparently the guy that painted it was blinded by the sunlight coming off your chest wig medallion Steve :lol1:


Thanks Merv, got suspension and 4pots going on soon too, many many jobs stacking up :thumb:

Coming together well there Cliff, nice to have it all apart it's when you start to really learn about the car.

looking good mate..like the white on white.. what suspension you going for

Very nice

Love white looking nice mate keep up the good work

Looking good:thumb: What width are you wheels m8 look to fill the arches nicely.

Just standard shocks and lowering springs for now, I've got a bend strut on the drivers side rear, plus it's leaking, so it's a temporary fix for now :thumb:

Yeah, certainly learning about the car as I go, I've also learnt I have a ton of salt still on the car from the snow in February!!!! :freak3:

Cheers Gary :thumb:

What's the offset on those wheels?

Thanks buddy, I'll be updating as I progress :thumb:


They are 18 x 8" ET42, might need a lip roll but well worth the effort IMO :thumb:

ET42 :thumb:

Nice classic .....

cool, what springs are you going for..

Now thats a nice looking classic..looking forward to seeing it when its finnished..

:thumb:

Not sure what they are but they're coming off my mate Paulo's car (STi V2 555 being broken in the for sale section). They sit the car pretty perfect IMO :norty:

ah yeah.. i enquired about them springs myself..loks like im not getting them :lol1:

Already bought and paid for :D I also got his 4pots too :) Sorry buddy :lol1:

haha no worries.. are the newage 4 pots a straight swap for the 2 pots on my sti

Wheels look amazing mate love it.

Coming along nicely:thumb:

Which camera did you use?

Thank you very much :D :thumb:



I only have a Canon EOS 1000d, but I hope to upgrade to a 550d when I stop blowing my money on this car :lol1:

i believe so mate its the rears where you need either the hubs or an adapter bracket (available from godspeed) :thumb:

just to update this, I've now lowered the car, sits much nicer I feel, but will need a lip roll.
I also bought some splash guards, which I love :luvlove: the plan was to colour code them, but 'm now considering leaving the splitter and the splash guards black, what do you think? :wonder:

Paint them white looks nice now it's sitting abit lower is it 40mm drop

Looks nice mate. Only thing ad do is have the wheels painted the same white as the car. But that's just my painters eye

Colour code it all white mate :)
The wheels look good on it :thumb:

I got the spats on my WRX saloon. There black and so are the side skirts and I would like to get them colour coded in 406 silver
