Default Got myself another scooby wrx wagon, need some parts

Just bought a 53 blobeye scooby wrx wagon, its all standard at the min but would like a decent exhaust, dump valve, and wondered what body modifications can be done without too much hassle, ie do the hawkeye rear lights fit straight in etc, any advise would be great as this is the 1st blobeye ive owned, had plenty of classics but fancy a change :-)

Don't mention dump valves on here, they'll be here shortly to slag you off, you wait and see.

As above but has climate control and heated seats and comes with ppp.
If u want a new exhaust u will need a remap aswell. So get other bit and bobs together first such as cosworth panal filter and new spark plugs Ngk pfr6b will hold 320 - 330 or pfr7b. Had it had a cam belt change?

Your a very lucky man sounds like a very well looked after car. Don't do any body work to it as its a day to day motor which will get scratches on it. If you want wheels later look in the market place and there's all ways deals on. Mark at lateral should be able to get u the cosworth panel filter and plugs or try eBay. Good luck and enjoy
P.s u will need a re map

Give Scott at scoobyspares a shout, he's up your neck of the woods. He's always breaking newages, might have a few bov's.
