Total Impreza Idol 2012
Hi there my car is number 7 http://www.totalcarmagazines.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/wp-photocontest/view.php?post_id=997
And this is my Build
May 10 - Apr 11 I have to say this has all been done on a budget and looking for ebay bargains as and when I could find them.
As it stands It's a MY2000WRX UK Turbo, Registered in May 2000 and is a three owner car.It has a Full Service history and a file full of Info including the original purchase invoice, It had Prodrive wheels and a prodrive spolier fitted as extras from new and these alone cost £1900. It has a Afterburner Vortex exhaust fitted, de-catted, Mintex 1144 pads all round and has had a walbro fuel pump fitted all in the last six months from the previous owner.
It does need some work namely a new front wing after the mud flap was caught btween the wheel and the kerb but here she is ;D
Oh well it was time to take a look under the bonnet and start to tidy things up a bit, As someone said "You've got your work cut out here"
He is Right!
This is going to be a long job!
Got some of the Thick stuff off anyway
I've had the wheels re-furbed and the calipers painted.
Now it looks like my car with my plate on!
Sometimes you just have to do things a little bit different
Finally Happy with the Front and Rear of the Scoob after a visit to the Kolar Factory. Top work
Before
And After
Been At it again Just need to straighten the fins out now.
A 1 OFF custom made LEATHER interior
It is made of dark grey Italian leather with Italian silver grey Alcantara,
the rear seats match the fronts but without the custom embroidery
and the door panel inserts are covered with the same Italian Alcantara
and a leather hand grip on the closer.
These stand me at £450 and cost over £2000 when they were made last year.
I've added a couple of graphics!
