A little background, I brought the car in jan 09 just after my father passed away. I needed something to focus on and with my dad being the reason im into cars, it seemed fitting to do this. Could say I did it for him.

Now the car, Its a 96 2000 turbo. my mate who had the car did some engine work and tells my shes sitting around 325bhp. Certainly goes like it. After that he sold it to another friend who just made a mess of her externally.

The day i Picked her up. not the best pic but shes full of dents, scratches, in need of two new wings, boot lid and yes that is an evo spoiler on the back.



Work begins..






After a few weeks...







And the present...







Shes not finished just yet. I changing the wheels to Rota Gtr's and thinking about have some arches from ABW. Not sure what do on the inside i may strip it and go for show on the outside and race on the inside. Well will see though.

Very nice

 

Its form the S-Sport kit mate. From the states, last i checked anyway

 

Thank you guys glad you like.

 

AWWWW its happened a little sooner than i wanted, but it looks like the headgasket is going. Big booooooo.

On the plus side I will be able to up grade and tune the engine, while its out.

 

As you may have seen at the start of this thread, I am building this car For my father. This is my little tribute to him and making it official....



I have a few small things happens in the coming weeks so i will keep you updated.

 

cars looking much better with the fresh spray job on it, dont suppose you know what or where to get them arch covers from do you
cheers steve

 

top job mate looks much better!

 

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

The arches came from ebay mate, search everywhere find them but had to give in and get them from there.

 

as i said on another post this looks really good mate and well done. my sister passed away last week and im thinking of doing something similar

 

I am truly sorry for you loss mate, I can understand the pain you are going through. My heart goes out too you and your family.

It is a nice way to remember someone you love.

 

cheers pal, were they ment for a subaru or are they from something else

 

Sorry for the late reply mate.

Yes they are for the impreza I checked about three times even though the picture on ebay shows them on a impreza.

 

can i be a pest and ask if youd measurehow wide the rear ones are and how far they go past the bumper, if that makes sense
cheers steve

 

No problem mate, I will sort that out for you when I finish work a little later.

 

cracking job so far, I do like the cut of the rear bumper...crying out for a diffuser of sorts

 

Thank you mate.

Funny you should say that mate, because I have been thinking about getting one for it. Will have a look at ht auto's.

 

time for some wallet bashing then...I've had a HT Auto diffuser for 18months now must get it fitted

 

A major wallet bashing mate, I was involved in a bit of a fender bender on good friday. Purely cosmetic but new lights (all the front ones), Grill, Bonnet and Bumper.

So I am going to facelift it at the front, apart from the bumper.

Time to get my hands dirty....AGAIN

 

bummer...as long as its only superficial...what happened?

 

nice looking classic u hv there mate

 

Think your dad would have be proud of you, you've done a great job. Mrs blu-scoob agrees with me too
Facelifting it will make the world of difference . Make sure you get the crystal headlights, you'll find you can actually see when it goes dark

 

looks really good mate

 

Thanks very much matey.

 

Thank you mate. Means alot to hear (well read) that.

I am defo going to crystal the headlights. I think in a couple of weeks she will be back better than before.

 

Cheers matey.

 

Just took my eye of the road for a second mate, I was in slow moving traffic. Braked but wasn't enough space. These things happen the people in the car i hit were fine thats the main thing.
