well hi to everyone,im new to the site,and to the world of imprezas!

i bought my impreza about a month and a half ago,knowing it had a few problems,has suspected head gasket problems,the body was well in a very bad state!

my plans for the car,are to get the head gasket done,get the engine running perfect,sort the body out and paint it in P1 blue,i would like to put the P1 front end and rear spoiler on aswell,if i can source the parts cheap enough


well here some pics of the progress so far

Has it been cut out and replaced now or just beaten about and filled?

Good luck with it!
