i couldnt resist guys.....ive bought a classic an ive already decided its outcome lol
As a few of you know i had a bad accident nearly two years ago with my RA.
it wasnt the cars fault or my fault it was the Vale of glamorgans highways departments. but even so cos of the outcome i had scooby demons and opted for my soon to be sold chrysler 300c tank to be my next car.
well with the summer coming and my life as it is i thought f**k it and bought a std 1993 wrx. its nothing special but its a start back into scoobydom
its got a blown engine
( so if anyone has a short block or better still full engine going cheap lol )
but i bought it cheap and my mate at Ninga Tune factory in Newport is gunna do the work for me.
Anyway as its a true Classic beening a 1993 i thought what can i do to it to stop me throwing money at it with the chrystal headlights facelift bumpers etc.
so with the no plate ive just found being L55 REP and as close to L555 REP as i can get can you tell what im gunna do to it yet lol.................
ok so heres a pic of it as ive bought it an then a pic of as near to how i want it looking before i have it out on the road.............................
am i mad or do you think this is the way to go ( as i said i dont wanna be throwing money at it an want to keep it as a true mk1 classic )

cheers fella.
what i was thinking with the no. plate was spacing the L55 REP to have the gap as if the other 5 was on the plate then at the shows putting a 5 in the space and see how many people think its the real one hehe.

That paint job will cost asmall fortune. I found out at the autosport show that the colour has atint of pink mixed in with the blue which was only for the rally team, your best bet is to have the 555 blue like mine.
They are speedlines but to find aset at the moment is a hard task as i'm finding out myself.
Tein are doing aset of alloys looking very similar to these for £650 if i remember correctly, i'll try to find the link.

Welcome back Gareth. I don't think we've met yet, but great choice on the car, i pondered going the 555 route myself. Wicked bit of luck getting that number plate, where did you get it? Thought it would have been snapped up already.
