Well I have had this since I got it of Giles about 3 years ago when I had big brat. I have been slowly collecting bits for it and decided it was time to move it from the yard to my little chapel of horse power (garage) ready to start work on it It has gained the nick name Mr T, I am sure you can work out why engine bay needs work and a bit of a clean Trim may clean up but drivers seat has some splits and damage Most of the shell is in ok condition, I have sill but rear arches are bad and have no replacements yet, will have to think of something when I get to them

Well spent a little time in the garage this evening assessing the work ahead. Front wings off Drivers inner wing very good just a little dented at the front as it has had a small knock. Passenger inner wing needs a little welding Not looking forward to this bit as I hate repairing screen surrounds. Good job I have replacement doors for this thing and the crusty rear quarters and of course the sills are 50% rust and 50% missing so all in all not to bad.

It will be getting seem welded and a full Impreza running gear transplant with some tuning and a bit of NOS to help it down the drag strip.
On the outside I want it to look as standard a possible

Glad your ok with that list! It would be a cold drink and contemplate/stare session for me. Looking forward to seeing the resurrection. Goodluck!

The trucks get more love than the cars, not many people bother with the car at all.

Well you know a car is rusty when your fabricator friend who likes a challenge says he will not touch it with a barge poll, never known him turn down work ever!!!!!!!!!!! So drivers inner sill is very rust and the middle bit is totally gone. all the floor is missing or rusty 100 to 150 mm next to the sill as well. Passenger side is almost as bad but the A pillar is shot as well on this side Not even sure I have anything to weld to on the drivers sill area
