Default BlobEye Project

So I picked my first scooby up Friday 350 mile round trip but worth it ��
Needs a lot of work to the body work which will start Tuesday at work
Hopefully be all sorted and painted

74k miles interior good condition just needs a good clean

Didn't get to much info on the car no service history etc so major service will be done asap only think he told me as it's had sti bits put on it and new coliovers but if any one can identify any mods from pictures please let me no as trying to work out what had been done but it drives spot on Just maybe might need to change the dumpvalve as it's very loud which sounds sweet but don't no if it's to loud if you no what I mean!

Any way let me no your thoughts and hope you all enjoy the build

I'd personally get rid of that nasty eBay valve and the induction off put genuine items in it'll drive even better and smoother

Keep us updated I'd spray it all a nice white too many blue ones about or even a DIFFRENT colour to your choice maybe

Ooooh and a roof flap while you do the roof a nice glossy shiny black to break the white up

It's a project end of day take it to where your imagination takes you or your pockets

I'm just in two minds at the mo weather to take the sti stickers off and leave them and change the mud flaps back to the wrx as it's not a genuine sti but it's had most things done all the interior is converted and all the kits on it and some sti engine mods have been done hmmm decisions .....

All I've done so far with the alloys is paint the random one that was silver white Guna look at a new set for it just got to find the ones I like hardest thing picking set of wheels. Can make or break a car.
