    Well done, you sure did a great job at bringing that vehicle back to life :worship2:

    The picture of the missus help is wicked :wicked:

    Nice work!

    Does the owner compete in Rallycross events with those giant auxiliary lights up front (and the number on the window too)?

    Thank you all:applause2:

    What I had to work with was crap, so I did the best of it ;)

    As for the lights: this is a GT, they are original. I`m guessing the number is there because he thinks it`s cool :shead:

    SpecC Wax on..Wax off

    those are actually OEM and add to the JDM flavor

    Nice save! That thing looked pooched when you got it.

    Nice work.

    Any idea on the year of that subaru? I hope I can do that well when I finally tackle my impreza. I have about 7 years of incorrect washing (by me:() to take out. Trust me it doesn't look pretty.

    I wished they offered the RBP here longer in the US (I ended up with a BRP aka a darker pearl blue)

    Thanks, I love it too :headbang:
    Thanks :)
    It still looks bad, but at least it`s shiny :p
    Thanks :)
    No, I don`t know the year, sorry...
    This car is repainted from the (IMHO) boring green color...
    Good choice, but poor finish on the paintjob... Clearcoat ripping off... Ouch...

    Well done mate! Nice to see that the missus was helping out, too! Looks like that Scoobie was really used for rallye driving...

    What can I say? She must love me... :spank:

    Who knows how it`s been handled through the years, before he got it? All I know, is that the paintjob (colorchange) was not well done... And I suspect the passenger door to be full of Bondo, since the paint gauge wouldn`t read...
    There were differences in thickness all over the car, so i guess someone was in a hurry...
