Looks good what is the rust like?

I do hope you haven't bought a money pit?

Arches need done but the rest of the shell is solid but this is for me to get my hands dirty :-D

I thought that was a crease in the rear arch to start with in that sixth picture.

Looks like a nice project. Best of luck with it.

That'll keep you busy :lol:

And get rid of those stupid wheel nuts :p

This is going to be a oem resto project .

Good man ! Like your thinking and cool project.

awesome :ok:

Images sorted out you bloody amateur.

It seems to like Coca Cola ?

Nice me likey, its nice to see another classic being saved specially the early one's you dont see meny about now and if you do they have not been looked after.


Has someone changed the bonnet, rear bumper and grill then as v3 had different ones and it went up to v4 then v5 changed to face lift.

Thanks and just plain water .:-D

Nope it's all correct v3 came like that from factory with the preface front bumper and dash this is my second v3 as I prefer the look .

Have removed the incorrect spolier ready for new one boot needs sorting out .

I didnt know they they did that shape v3 my ones a 1995 preface lift. I thought it was v4 that changed the front and rear bumper.

Anyway love it are you keeping it standard.?

I take it you will put the mid level spoiler on then

Yours is a v2 and yes putting it back to factory oem I just need to source the v3 nardi sti steering wheel .

Your need deep pockets for one of them I see two on Ebay ones £400 other ones £899 which is a joke. As I said before Richard has one I see it today but dont no how much he wants for it. There are not meny of them about now.

Starting to collect original oem parts that were originally fitted .

Dont know if it's any good to you but on Ebay someone is sell a nardi steering wheel I'm sure it's a sti one and the horn has been changed to the nardi one. I'm try to work out if the stitching is dirty red or black, I'm pretty sure its dirty red it's only £130 if it's the sti one then it's a good price but not having the sti horn is a shame.

Yeah was looking at that one from japan by the time you pay import and custom fees then it's more expensive .

Thought I would remove the front splitter as its damage bumper looks odd without it but will see how it looks once the car is finished and on the road .https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e0ebf66db6.jpg

Their are two on Ebay that are not from Japan ones £130 the other is £199 both have red stitching and sti stamp in the centre bit under horn. But both have the nardi badge not the carbon sti one, ones in essex other Birmingham.

There are loads of wrx nardi one on there and these two look like one of them till you look close , seeing the price of the sti one are up for these are a bargain at that price and I'm sure if you keep looking you could find a carbon horn.

Or did the early ones not have the carbon horn as iv seen more the same for £120 so I'm start to wonder if they didnt

Those are early ones as the v3 nardi didn't come with sti stamped on it below the horn button .

It's all about the little things collected these tonight done a straight swap for my smoked side repeaters. Will fit them when I get back home tomorrow after work .

Nice! Love the classics so it’s good to see another gaining some love :ok:

Anyone know how to remove paint from the plastic trims round the door and windows cheers .https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cdcb327ffb.jpg

From what? (Am looking on phone so might be missing the point)

Sorry the plastic trims round the door windows etc .

Try a tar remover

I think these have been spray painted might try paint stripper once I remove them .

Been all quiet haven't done anything with it but have collected these parts that are missing from the engine both in excellent condition.

that centre section looks like the later CAT style UK variant.........

Same as the one that came of my UK 99 car.

After getting the orbital sander to do the cleaning up of the backbox ready for spraying went to b&q and picked up a tin of matt silver spray paint .
