Nice car. There is one just like that across the street from me, but 5spd, and I want it.

they seem pretty straight forward to me.

Update: Picked up a 97+ bumper today. went to pick up a scooped hood at AL's but it ended up having a decent sized dent in it. no go.

jspek · 02-24-2009, 04:00 PM

teh DIRT · 02-24-2009, 04:00 PM

xEJ20x · 02-24-2009, 11:14 PM

Sweet....another Peter beater.

MuddyREX · 02-25-2009, 11:24 AM

Wait, so what's the deal Pete? Did you get rid of the Forrester? Do you still have the Impreza, and are you finishing it?

teh DIRT · 02-25-2009, 12:09 PM

I still have the forester and the impreza. Both however are for sale. The forester is a great running car. The impreza is a shell, and wont be getting finished by me.

MuddyREX · 02-25-2009, 12:14 PM

So I get it. The plan is to complete the Leg with a WRX swap and be done with it.
