Cool PROJECT SPORT WAGON (WRITE OFF)

After abit of interest in the sport when i had it forsale damaged but no serious buyers i decided to repair the sport.



As you can see most of the damage was to the o/s/f corner and all the way up the nearside. made a start on it today (newyearsday with a MONSTER hangover!)



Stripped it down.



Then started on panelling the front and side up.




Ive put a standard bumper on it for now just to make sure i get all the panels lining up right.


Ive pinched the headlights off my other scooby while thats off the road (fitting coilovers/ trust exhaust/ 4pots) gonna use its 16" sti 5 alloys aswell.
So if anyone got some crystal headlights and nice set of 17"s or 18"s give me a shout.
Turbo bonnet is in the garage waiting to go on it, but aint got the vents or scoop yet so if anyone got some of them give us a shout about them.

Spent the day with a pot of filler, smoothing the n/s rear quarter, bootlid and few little marks in the n/s doors.
turbo bonnet is fitted now too, just need some vents and scoop for it now.
Can anyone local to me (s Wales) help me out with a door rubber trim?
I need the black metal strip that the doorseal fits into on the passengerside.

Its all go this week! spent the day stipping it down and flating the paint back.
finally got some bonnet vents 10mins ago off ebay so just hoping they arrive in time before the top coat of paint goes on, on Thursday.
Need a pair of spotlights or spotlight covers to finish it off now.
I'll try and take somemore pics during the week whilst the works going on.
