Simon had not realised that some of the Welsh section did not know that a comprehensive thread existed in the project section detailing his resto.
I though I'd post up the link as its generated considerable interest amongst quite a few of the guys here.

As you say Lee, grab a drink and settle down for a good o'l read through

It is looking rather special Simon, as much as I like all the work you have done I don't think I will be doing the same.

I was talking with Simon only saturday and admiring the car.


There is something heart-lifting seeing a drivetrain so immaculately clean that you could eat your dinner off it.

Hats off to Simon for pursuing his dream.

Cheers Lee the first stage is getting there, there will still be some trims to change and a few dents to ease out as we go but he foundation will be sorted

Aye, I still have it Kev.
I usually keep it for weekend blasts and drive a little red pug 106 as a daily drive.

I really appreciate the performance of the Impreza after a few days in a 1124cc Pug.

Mind you that Pug is quite nippy.
