New Impreza Owner!

[Firelight76]

Hi peeps!

 

Just got my 04 Impreza today! 

 

Not driven her much, and will post pics tomorrow once she's cleaned inside and out.

 

I believe the car once belonged to iNeoTom from here. 

 

She's had her engine rebuilt using donor parts from an STI engine.

 

Looking forward to lots of happy motoring with the beast!

 

Pics tomorrow!

Wotcha and welcome - yup share those pics and feel free to get stuck in - any plans for mods or keep as is?

[Firelight76]

Nothing major really, shes already got quite a bit on already!

 

Just wanna get her cleaned up a bit, the 184,000 miles on the clock starting to show in places!!

Welcome? Looks a lot cleaner than I ever saw it when tom had her !

Did he sell you the spare closed deck block as well ?

[Firelight76]

I don't think so, the engine was rebuilt using an sti engine sourced elsewhere.

I hope it looks clean, spent most of the day cleaning and polishing her!

Ah fair enough, I was chatting to him before he sold it just wondered what happened to it,

Is it still loud as hell ? Haha

[Firelight76]

She needs a fair bit of love, the pictures make her look a lot better than than she does up close.

Needs the front wings replaced or repaired as rust coming through.

Bonnet needs replacing mainly because of the bonnet pins have ruined the paintwork and the scoop wasn't sprayed very well.

There's a spot of rust above the front windscreen as well that needs looking at soon as well maybe.

She's not as loud as she was, I've had the ninja exhaust put on, it's loud when it needs to be but rumbles nicely just pottering about.

Atleast with cars like this you can add your own touch without worrying about making it look worse ;)
