Hi all,

Long term reader on here and irregular poster, since selling my p1 a few years ago I have been looking at getting back into an impreza, I also want a build project to undertake at home. I want to build something similar to the rcm gobstopper, obviously without the huge amount of cash and bhp that is running.

Therefore I'm thinking one of two options, using a type r shell (damaged or rolling shell) as a basis for the build and adding the gf kits that can be purchased to replicate (ish) the gobstopper.

Or buying a 2000 spec wrc shell as per the gobstopper

Obviously the second would be preffered, but I'm not sure where I would source one and how much coin something like that would set me back.

Has anyone undertaken something along these lines or does anyone know of somewhere to buy the shell for either option a or b?????

Many thanks for your thoughts.

think your better going for option 1 because a wrc shell will cost you mega £0000 have a look here if you are serious about option 2 http://www.subaruwrcspares.com/1.html also have a look at robs project which is built on a s6 wrc shell http://bbs.22b.com/forums/showthread...limb-car-build

Subaruwrcspares don't have any shells. Anybody know of anyone selling a type r shell or a wrc shell?

The Gobstopper isn't a WRC shell it's a type R that Prodrive fitted the panels to. Before Roger Clark Motorsport bought the car it was a full on road car with WRC panels!

Hmm very interesting, so if I could source some proper metallic rear arches and weld them in I should be sorted.

Ok so I'm officially looking for a type r shell. Thanks a lot
