Default My project welcome to all

Hi to each and every one of you

So finally after 37 years i have bitten and purchased myself a 1995 UK spec impreza wagon. The old girl cost me the grand sum of £350. now for my 350 great British pounds i received a running, mot till July but very ugly wagon. The bodywork is pretty rust free and straight just very faded and patchy. so first of i am going to be removing the standard wheels replacing all the brake components, then on to full oil/ coolant changes. now i have no mechanical experience what so ever but as my wife says(mid life crises) give it a go. so i am going to be doing all the work myself including plastidip the whole car in Matt black. i am located in east grinstead in west Sussex and have a cafe on a fishing lake in tunbridge wells. if any body would like to come by with any info or help when i am need then please feel free i can pay in full english breakfasts and pulled pork buns..
Look forward to meeting and chatting to some of you.

Ooh that interior is not very nice. Just as well it needs replacing - you should be able to get a good condition one (inc door cards) from a later car that will be a straight swap.

welcome, great purchase and a real good project
start of with the basics, finish one job at a time if you can, don't strip the full car and then ''loose the will to live'', take it easy and steady as she goes
keep the pictures flowing
