LANCENEOMAN Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 So, i figured maybe I should make a thread on here, to show you guys what im doing to my Impreza WRX. On the 28th March, it is going in for a full respray (hopefully as long as funds are available) Before then, there are a few jobs to do. So i figured over the period of the next month or so, i would post some photos of whats being done. This weekend its a full service. but obviously I doubt people will want to see photos of that. So here how it looked on the day I bought it. Apparantly it had a scoobyrace 1.5rt remap. ( no idea what that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay762 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Great stuff - like to see a nice progress and what members are doing to their pride and joy not heard of a scoobyrace tune - but then again I had no idea what a 'snorkus' was either so there you go :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LANCENEOMAN Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 the pictures make it lok better. The front bonnet has dents, and the rear near side quarter panel has a deep scratch and dent. Also, the sills, are flaking and the laquer on the roof is peeling. So it will be sanded down to bottom and have multiple coats.Also having a thicker layer of clear laquer, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I agree always nice to see a cars progress. I wish I had done it with mine I have lots of photos but was after I had got it to present day :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pommy Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Looking good, think I will have to start a thread like this over the next few days. Staying with the blue or having a change of colour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LANCENEOMAN Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Was staying blue but it depends if my head gasket has gone or not. If it has there won't be a paint change for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Well signs look more promising thats it's not so panic over mate :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBosh Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Go P1 blue looks mint like wrblue but a bit lighter. If you're paying for a respray may as well make it something different To those that saw, this is my mates next classic after the white one with pink wheels, just to prove he isn't a complete traitor to Subaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I do like the WRC blue myself :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LANCENEOMAN Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 I'm reverting back to maybe Matt black . Haven't seen one anywhere that colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 will look good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LANCENEOMAN Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 I don't know see to go Matt black would Cost me £850 to get it wrapped . But I can have a full respray In the colour I have now with all little dents etc fully repaired for £1000 so I think I may stick to that. May also have the roof wrapped at black after wards think it would quite nice. In need of some morette headlights before the respray though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I'm not sure how the finish will be with the wrapping if the surface underneath is not good - would it cover your dents? If you have it painted and the bodywork sorted you could have it wrapped at a later date knowing all is well underneath? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pommy Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Wrapped with dents underneath looks bad as far as I know. Has to bee decent paintwork. And £1000 for a respect abd debt fixing seems like a very very good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pommy Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Re spray and dent. Not respect and debt. Autocorrect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 :D :D :D its a tinker isn't it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pommy Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Can always get it wrapped afterwards as well. And keep the blue Underneath for better re sale value if you decide to sell at any point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LANCENEOMAN Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 That's what I'm thinking . No point wrapping over a dent as you would either get a bubble or still see the dent. I'll get it re sprayed, then have the roof wrapped in mat black, and a clear think wrap on the front bonnet and bumper to stop stone chips. Gotta get it looking nice for the japfest 2 in derby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 sounds like a plan ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
