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

Good man ! Like your thinking and cool project.

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.

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.

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 .

Looking good, was it expensive to get the bolts etc zinc plated iv never thought of doing that but it's a great idea to do that to all the bits.

I'll want to start cleaning up my engine bay this year.

Wasnt expensive but got alot more parts to zinc plated .

Hi beaster I bought them from a fellow classic owner on the type ra form the wheels are only 3 month old with new tyres i paid alot of money for them speak to Alyn from asperformance as he can sort you out on a new set for a good price .
