version 6 refurb project

version 6 sti refurb project
work has started on my my2000 wrx sti
so finnished the driveway today , yes finnished it . cost £50 and not planning on spending another penny on it
then proceeded to strip the front end
first thing to be added to the shopping list, a new bumper bar .and some bolts and clips that have seen better days , new horns and the small bracket that holds the sensor on in front of the rad
now the reason i decided to start this thread , to get answers to the many many questions i'll have, so first things what are these
box with pipes going in the top
canister behind driver side headlight
sensor in air feed duct with no cable attached to it
anyone with any advise ,part numbers , places to get bits i need or just generel help ,please do chip in it will be greatly appreciated
the rust is a bit of a worry , i think it is really needing completely stripped down and resprayed but thats beyond my budget at the moment, although im not sure what that would cost. i plan on doing all the work myself but taking the engine out is a step to far for me , also painting i think i'll leave to the pros
the badly rusted bit is the bumper bar which is going straight in the bin but what to do with those other parts that are starting to rust

Yes mate, IIRC it runs from the same part of loom that the MAF plugs in to.
On mine tho where I've had a FMIC fitted and gone mafless, I had to remove that plastic duct that it normally sits in. Now the sensor (although still plugged in) just sits underneath the intake pipe work.

i had to give up removing the sideskirts yesterday theres about 6 bolts on the underside, everyone of them just spins, i think they are screwed into a plastic insert in the cill and they are just spinning ,
going to drill them out next chance i get , ordered an angle chuck for my cordless it will be a handy tool for work aswell.
then the wings are coming off,
bought a cheap car cover from argos today to help keep rain off all the exposed metal.and finnished my shed/impreza parts store

ts never going to e the standard of your version 1 t reading through your project was inspiring.really id like tstrip t back to the shell and build it up from there. im not going to have that kind of money though.
so im going to strip it back as much as i can myself on the drive and see where it goes, ive stopped buying things for now and i'll get what i need as i go,
you are right about rust neutraliser plus wax oil ,and im thinking por15 to reseal it .
that and a new bumper bar are top off the list along with new bolts
any recomendations for suppliers and products to use would be greatly appreciated

finally got the sideskirt off one side , that is the least fun ive had removing a skirt
anyway for anyone thinking about removing there sidekirts for whatever reason it can be a right pita if the bolts just spin , whats happening is the plastic clip is turning with the bolt , i drilled the heads off , removed the sideskirt and started digging the plastic clips out
more part numbers required
rust isnt bad, i think im catching this just in time
away to remove the front wing now ,then its on to the otherside

driverside wing came off really easy, only one snapped bolt down at the cill
the wing is in great condition only one very small bit of surface rust.
behind the wing not to bad at all
h worst rust is on the droplinks and surrounding parts need to find out what they are all called
whats the part with the cv boots on , drive shaft ? and the one running alongside ?
also is that the hub that is at the bottom of the suspension behind the wheel , are those bits past saving , they must be
i can see there are loads of parts that i want to remove to get at the bodywork but starting to **** myself that ill not get it all back together , and while that wing is off hould i do the snorkel delete thing , cant remember exactly what is involved and the reason people do it
anyway plan is to get the otherside of the car stripped to the same stage then look in the engine bay and see what i want out the way and find out the best way to go about it ,
im unsure on if i should strip the suspension etc and bits out the engine bay ,rad etc . and put the car on axle stands, or keep it drivable so i can put it on those ramps so i can get under it to paint easier
