Question red ra details

can any one shed light on this car

i bought the car from sommerset and drove it back up to aberdeenshire in december. i have been told that some people on here might know its history. i have done some extra work too it, carbon wrapped thhe bonnet and put a set of KYB uprated shocks with lowered and compressive springs. i have a few more mods to do but would like to know if any one know more about it. i love it too bits and it is one of the best car i have had in years. what i call a drivers car, one that make you want to go for a spin just for the hell of it lol

LOL f*ck me it made its way up to aberdeen, it does look really clean mate but i hate the styling.

Type "Plough" into the search bar to uncover the cars history.

Oh and welcome.

it is a 4 door, the back door handles have been blended in to make it look like a 2 door its is a clean car the o nly thing it is needin for the test is front and back number plats and the cat putting back in. the rear petrol filler needs sorting as there is a crack round the kit. but a man down the road can do it so thats o n the cards soon

being unlucky enough to see the genuine plough in person which was an utter shed, this one looks a lot cleaner.

the original plough also had £80 k of mods none of which included a front mount though

Its a different car...........The guy who used to own it belonged to a Subaru club down here is Dorset....All their cars either look like that, are covered in stickers or are painted multi coloured.

Tubbs, you would have a field in that club

I'll be polite and say it looks like a woman's infected monthly cycle - albeit a shiny one. It's awful.

That is from the same Subaru club as the OP's car.!

Im guessing it was built by Chip Foose looking at the sticker on the boot...
