So I bought this Wrx in December as a little rolling project me and my lad could work on. It’s a bit rough but we’ve made a start.

first off we removed the turbo timer. Whilst in the process we found the horrible gauge wiring which had to be ripped out




so we decided the interior was a good place to start the process.
the gauges were tapped in everywhere so was all removed and some looms repaired.

we then brought some connectors to do the job properly



then we removed the cig lighter and wired up a fuse box behind the stereo to power the gauges and 12v socket






then we decided the old centre console was a bit tired



so we ripped it out to do the upgrade. While it was apart we did the cabin filter



We ordered an android unit and installed a 4g dongle, gps antenna and dab+ box within the gauge pod and the dab antenna on the passenger side front window screen






when the new console turned up we decided to wrap the trim in silver/black carbon



and wrapped the heater control surrounds in blue carbon. Subtle but we think it works




currently awaiting the gear and handbrake gaiters to come back from the trimmers

then we installed usb sockets in place of the original cig lighter


and that is currently where she stands. Almost happy with the interior. Next is sti carpet and a better gauge pod

Once interior is done we will move onto the exterior.

thanks for reading so far
