The cars up for sale and I thought I'd pull my finger out and take some photos with my proper camera (not just my phone) and I felt it deserved a new thread

Beatiful car. Engine soo looks like it should have came like that from the factory.

If i had it, i would lower it a tad more & colour code the rear bumper & thats it!

Hope it goes to a good home & i really hope it's looked after. Well done mate .

I preferred it with black bumpers, but engine conversion is so fooking tidy. Hats off to you mate.

Would look a bit better just slightly lower and with matching bumpers imo.

Other than that

Well I found out why it kept killing speedo senders, the drive spindle for the original cable driven speedo was 2mm longer than the 16v electronic ones so the internals in the sender just got crushed to death!

That was a plan, but I could just go out and buy another Impreza and be done with it
