New member with a project
Hi all
just thought i would say hello and show u a little project i have on the go.
i recently brought this 99 wrx of a fellow scoobynet member (Apac)
The car was surprisingly a cat c write off
I will be doing the panel work my self and one of my work colleagues will do the paint work as i work in a bodyshop
here are some photos of the progress so far
The 1/4 panel was cut and drilled off, then the inner arch was given a little pull back into position
to cut the cost of buying a new door and 1/4 panel another shell was brought with running gear and door's but no engine and damaged on the n/s. i was able to to remove o/s 1/4 panel and the door a fit to my car
Will be going into work tomorrow to repair the bumper then hopefully get some primer on it monday or tuesday. i am on the look out for a o/s rear light and a fuel cap also need a wheel same as gold one's in photo and any help would be much appreciated

well done Justin. it puts a sad feeling in my gut to see the old girl. But she is in the right hands now. i'm still scoobless and am chasing Type-R's and Type RA's up and down the country without success as yet. It pains me to think the amount of money i chucked at that car over the past 4 years. You've certainly picked a good un! once the body has been repaired you are good to go. all consumables have been replaced and all problems relating to a scooby of this age has been taken care of. big servicing all done. performance clutch. calipers re-coned etc etc..
i just hope the day will come when we pull up at the lights together when i've sourced my new scooby
good luck with the rest of the work. i'll pop down to the workshop soon
oh, and don't forget about the exhaust etc...

Thanks for the warm welcome guy's!
still looking for a gold wheel same as the one in the photo above.also need a petrol flap if any one can help feel free to pm me.
I managed to make a start on the bumper today
as you can see it is split quite badley
I used some peices of steel and counter sunk rivets to brace bumper back in correct possition like so
I then plastic welded both inside and outside the bumper
just needs a light skim of stopper then primer.
