savage bulldogs Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 The wheels I'm on about ,were a optional extra for the 94sti version. I'm just not sure if yours are the same as in this pic of a 94 sti with them fitted If you think they're the same ? I could probably find out if they have any markings on them to identify them . I'm not interested in them myself , just thought I'd mention it for your sake 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartie Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 It's been a while now so thought i would update the thread. Been working contantly since all the madness started as we are having to try keep all the bin lorries, nhs vans and carers cars on the road but i have managed to sneak in a little scoob time, the blacksmith has now finished the arches and i've filled and smoothed off the joins where the new metal has been welded in, i've also cut that daft spikey thing off the roof which then revealed a few little dings in the roof so got a loan of one of they sliding hammer kits with the different size ends which glue to the panel then just twist off Then i removed roof and window trims with out breaking any of the clips 😁, then spent a few evening's and a couple of Saturday's rubbing the whole thing down ready for paint I will be removing the bonnet scoop, rear spoiler, front splitter and bumper and side window trims but as the trims also hold the window rubbers i will have to wait until i can get it in the workshop coz don't want it to **** down with rain then come in to a soggy interior 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Getting there and looking good, now you have tell how you got the window trims off so I can remove mine without breaking them 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 You've done better than me ,I've managed to snap a few, but at least I've not bust the trim but then plan to have it on road this summer has changed a little 😪😪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartie Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 Nearly there now, went from this To how it looks now It's looking not bad if i do say so myself 😉😉, although there are a couple of little runs which i will take out with some wet and dry, then just need to go over it with the polisher and some fine cutting compound to flatten back then over with the polish to bring up the shine 😃👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Wilkinson Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Looks good. My version 3 wrx had the same treatment a couple of years ago and it’s great to see another classic saved from the dreaded rot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartie Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 Cheers lads, went back to it on saturday and there were a few runs of clear coat and a few dry spots so i flattened down all the runs and went over the whole car again with clear and this is how it looked out in the cold light of day this morning There is a little orange peel which i will get rid of with some 3000 grit wet and dry then polish, overall i am pretty chuffed with it considering it was just in the workshop with the heating on to get the place cozy and i've only painted the odd panel here and there on the trucks and its the first time i have painted a whole car 😁👍👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the paint from a local paint shop who supply my work with stuff mate, was back at it again today, went over the whole car with 3000 sanding pads using my polisher as it has variable speed Then over with some cutting compound and after that some autoglym super resin polish, this is how we look now outside in the light Looks ok but there are a few spots where it looks a bit dull so will have to go over again with the compound and polish to brighten it up, just need to put it all back together now 😉👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartie Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Forgot to update this 🤣, been too busy enjoying the scoob and eating up the B roads but thats it all finished and freshly mot'd Pretty chuffed with how it has turned out, at least i know its all solid now and all the rot has been taken care of, going up the highlands next week for a well earned break but haven't decided what motor we are going to take yet, either the scoob or the wife's alfa, i now have a slow puncture on one of the rear tyres so i'm looking to replace all 4 if anyone has any suggestions on what tyres to chuck on, i was thinking of dunlop sport maxx as they seem to have good reviews on black circles 👍👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
