firstly im 22 and this is my pride and joy ive put alot of time and effort into this car and all the work has bein done by myself

i baught this car from ebay in dec 09 as spares or repairs.
the car had half of the inside missing and the bottom end had gone on the engine due to not bein serviced correctly

i already had a silver classic which had a not so good shell so i set about rebuilding the one i baught from ebay with all the good stuff from the silver 1

i started the vehicle in dec last yr and its bein rebuilt back from nearly a complete shell nearly every part of the car has bein off or changed.

there is no pictures but the engine from the silver one i had is now in the blue 1 and running perfect i think

ive still got alot of plans for the car front mount simtek the whole inside shall be flocked at some point just takes time and money

p.s sorry about the poor spelling



day 1 this is wat the car looked like when i got it





you can all get the idea of whats bein done from the pictures but will add some discription when needed

dash out and loom replaced as original 1 had bein cut in a few place

great work mate, happy for you. How do you find the glow shift dials? i am thinking of getting some for my spare DIN slot under the radio.

 

i find them pretty gd tbh m8 ive got the elite 10 colour 60mm and i like them mainly for the fact ur not limited on colour

 

were they from fleabay via glowshift in the usa? if so did you get any customs charges?

 

yes m8 there from glow**** via fleabay yes i did m8 £38 for 3 gauges and £14 postage or order thm singly and get u have to pay £14 postage each time but no customs so either way u get raped for it loool

 

thats great thanks for the heads up.

Keep up the good work with the motor

 

cheers m8 hopfully theres lots more to come soon

 

well done mate very impressive results!!

liking the black plastics....

 

thanks m8 im thinkin ov having them all flocked at some point when moneys on my side

 

great work danny, the finish looks really good. ive also pondered over a set of them white dail inserts....also like the center gauge housing idea....cheers again for the samcos

 

no worrys m8 thanks for buying them im happy with how the car is for now still loads to do but ive just lost my job this week so money now tight till i get a new job

 

looks a great job you've done mate, especially the black plastics inside.

 

hey

just thought omg the dials are blue, but after I scrolled down a few times it became more and more stylish to me.
Paint looks pretty good for the age (u must have spent ages on polishing it?)
I'd change the tail lights to sti ones, ink the back window (max 30% as I've made bad experiences with to dark inked windows) and change the spoiler at least to a mid level one, then u'll have a beautiful example!

//edit: one thing I forgot: interior plastic sprayed black matt -> looks superb!!! what paint was it, usual spray paint? Think I'll do it, too! Great idea mate

 

Great project you have got there mate, well done on a lovely looking car. Keep us all posted on any more progress.

 

when you gona start on mine then danny eh only joking mate but i must make a start on it myself soon, as those rear arches will not look good after another winter, so they need sorting now really. its rained and rained and poored down here so cant get on with much at all, what did you do with em red wheels?

 

good look with that m8 not a fun job and it hasnt done anything but rain for the last 3 days here either as for the red wheels i sold them to a fella scooby netter / friend of mine there now on a black classic


i no the blue dials are not to every1s taste but i like them. ive tried to keep the car pretty much how they should be standard and chav kits on it. reli annoys me when people ruien a bloody good car but hey ho each to there own.
as for the rear lights ive got led afterburners to go in once they have bein sprayed. then spoiler time thinking about spoilerless thow atm not sure what im goin 2 do.
as for the polishing 5 hours had 2 types of auto glyn 2 restore and protect then a normall polish after that. as for the plastics they are just primer and matt black spray.

if any1 dose do the black plastics make sure there is no dirt or grime on the plastics at all and that they get plenty of primer as 1 of mine had some dirt somewhere and its now flaking once its had some heat on it from the heater n so on

 

Awesome effort mate. Total transformation Impressed with the interior work!

Any videos? Love the sound of Vortex exhausts, but never heard one on a Scoob!

 

thanks ross no videos m8 theres plenty on youtube thow im realy happy with how the car has turned out so far but plenty of work still to go

 

Looking good mate

 

hi danny looking good m8ty, quick question where did you buy your blue steering wheel from?

 

i baught it from a guy who was breaking 1 near my house as i need to get 1 to replace the standard 1 as it was f***ked lool i threw the blue 1 in the bin about 3 weeks ago now

 

Well done nice to see it was saved!
looks lovly to, ive only seen that colour once before and that was on a tommy k!

 

ive noticed it seems to be a very rare colour which is a pain when you need pannels lool but done my best with it and am happy with how its come out so far

 

i have one the same colour and this is the only other one i have seen the same!!! dont know why as when the sun is shinning it looks awesome

 

there are two of us racing in the subaru cup race series with the same colour ;-)

 

bout time i updated my project thread seen as its been a while tbh not much has been done to the car due to me starting my own bussiness (in subarus) but just a quick update

h brace fitted underneath


headers and middle n rear parts of exhaust fully wrapped few days before the tunnel run





oil change before the tunnel run also spoilerless as waiting for the sti6 to be painted




full crystal light set up soon to be changed for covers and morrettes


front strut and rear and i/c spray fully fitted


genral pictures of the car how she stands at present

 

Hey mate

Good to see it's coming on. also refreshing to see a scooby saved rather than scrapped for part's.

But at 22 how on earth u getting insured (considering ur essex way as well)??

Im nearly 21..In probable one of the best post code's (AB53) but no one's going near me

 

Looks awesome mate.

I`d keep it the way it is than add morrettes and covers, looks much better.

 

hi mate well im 24 nearly now and have 3 years ncb with the car im insured with elephant who have been the cheapest by about £400 every year just got my renewel in last week for £890 fully comp but the car is in a locked garage and has a tracker fitted and dosnt do anymore than 2500 a year


cheers m8 few bits to do next plans are sti7 wheels brembos coilovers morrettes and covers and few other mods nothing to big yet as funds arnt so great as im starting a bussiness and gettin into drifting aswell so thats gunna be another vehicle to run aswell as the other 3 ive got

 

love those dials mate they look the nuts
