Hi, just wanted to show a few pics of my car. Bought it about 3 months ago from an old lady which rode it for the last 20 years. Just a bone stock 2.0 N/A. The car was in pretty good body shape (new paint job) and seemed okay. Sadly it was just a first impression and it turned out to be a nightmare.
Since the summer I:
1. Did the bodywork - the paint is new and the floor and wheel arches were great but the rear subframe was totally rusted. Now it has a rear subframe from a WRX.
2. Changed both the MAF and O2 sensor - both were rubbish
3. Changed the engine from a 2.0 to 2.2 - I had one laying around so I thought "why not?" and now it's a 2.2 with a manual from a 2.0. The top speed is around 90 mph but it accelarates pretty nice.
4. Changed a lot of crap in the suspension and steering (an almost new steering rack from a STI).
5. Changed the exhaust to a WRX one.
Yeah it was a long 3 months but the car keeps getting better. Tell me what you think BTW how can I post a topic in the project section?
Sorry for the XXL pics.

Sick looking car! I would say (if it's cheap) is to tint the windows. It changes the look of the car DRAMATICALLY. Other then that, it looks amazing.

Thanks for you kind words The car is still work in progress - there are lots of small things to tackle. One of the first things on the list is getting the car lower, because now it's sitting on Impreza springs.
@Josh, thanks for adding me to the build journal section! I'll take same more pics and do a write up
