Looks like it was in pretty good nic back then!

Love the colour too. Our neighbour had one, when it was new he forgot to put the hand brake on and it ended up off a small rocky outcrop into a creek. From then on it was his designated paddock bomb.

It used to leave a blue smoke screen behind it where ever it went! Unfortunately he's crushed it before I got to ask him about parts off it :evil:

Cheers

Wrecked ...

Post by Bantum » Fri Jul 18, 2014 9:35 pm

Sorry to say, its not in so good condition now ... :(

Image

Note : This is it, currently in storage ( minus a few parts & bucket loads of rust ) ... :eek:

& some shots of it being fixed the first time round ...

Add : I had some thoughts on to how to fix the rust problem ... possibly with a full floor / fire wall cut out & replace with later model Impreza WRX maybe ?

I will have to see what fits best ... :)

P.S. - If anyone comes a cross a windshield for it, would come in handy ... :p

Cheers, Bantum ...
