Default project wrx clean up

i thought it was about time i started the big clean up on my car after the car parking dinks and running into the back of another car that dented the wing and bumper heres what ive done so far. ive got a new set of wheels waiting to go on. and iam after some 6 or 8 pot brakes.


ive started stripping the engine bay down to give it a good clean


stripped the wing off that was dented


ive started sanding down the car ready for the big respray iam thinking black but might go blue i still havnt made my mind up what do you think



this was my inlet after a quick spray just to see what yellow will look like. i still dont no which way to go with this what do you think.



i was thinking of a black car with yellow bits in the engine bay

all you have to do is drill 2 holes for the screws and just cut the rod to size, its easy i just cut into the wires for the central locking and job done.

i used some engine degreaser and a paintbrush and a toothbrush lol. then i just let it sit for a few mins to soak then blow it all off with the air line, wear glasses if your going to do that, as it gos everywhere but its the only way to get it out of all the small holes and corners.

heres a quick pic of the boot and door theres still i bit to do before the paint but its getting there.
