Default Saving a classic!

Bought this a few weeks ago mainly for some parts I wanted, but plans changed so I ended up with a classic I was going to break and scrap.

On Friday I wieghed in a classic shell just as I needed the space and I like yard to look tidy...... It wieghed in for a princely sum of 28 pounds!! And I was left thinking there getting rarer and for 28 quid was it worth weighing jt in well no!

So my attention turned to this, which was the worse Impreza I had ever seen, with lovely stickers on it that weren't only just horrendous but also laquered on!!!

So I pulled all the bits of that weren't to my taste
Lexus rear lights
Funky front lights
Big *** spoiler
the wheels

Then went through my collection of parts to see what I could use in order to build it with out spending anything on it luckily I had a front end with lights etc and a set of wheels!
So before and after pics










They are the pictures that were on its advert!

And today's work

I've seen a lot worse.

But kudos to you, I think it's a great idea!

Lol good spot mate, the r plate on front bumper I'd off the donor car needs to come of front bumper.

Then I'll give the plate a whirl on eBay
