Been lurking on here a few years now so thought i'd put some pics up of my latest project, after selling my mk2 mex early last year I ended up buying a Subaru spec c but then came across this and just had to have it
1 owner and 50k miles from new , been off the road since 2005. not messed with bar an exhaust and what looks like ice blue injectors? All original panels and never welded.
















Cheers Eagie

Lovely car in one of the two best colours IMO

jason_nike

Very nice indeed.
Exhaust doesn't count these days as being messed with, comes under standard spec to maintain.
So standard it couldn't be played with

looks nice. Its been many years since i have seen a std radio and amp working in a saff.

I would be checking those injectors tho to be on the safe side.

Cheers mate its in bits already possibly a full blown resto

eagie

Cheers its a stainless copy of original exhaust.

eagie

Had no sound to start with, replaced the fuse for the amp and got noise
Even more surprised that everything works on the car

Very nice, are you doing a resto thread

eagie

Its in bits already might start a resto thread, maybe need some tips

maxest

iTrader: (1)

Do it.. Is it staying standard

eagie

Yeah pretty much no plans to up the power that's what my Subaru is for
Maybe poly bushes, koni's and that sort of thing?

maxest

iTrader: (1)

If it was mine it would stay completely o.e.. With the underside finished how it would be from factory too

eagie

Still not 100% what way to go yet still at the stripping stage.
Won't be going daft with mods though.....couldn't afford to lol

One owner low mileage car like that it would be sacrilege to do any other than going standard.. plus it'll be worth considerably more

eagie

That's what I keep thinking, but I don't want to be chasing gen ford parts either lol

CHRISP

max is right on the money imo, sacrilege to do anything other than boggo.

it looks to have most of its originality to start with and looks really nice in the first pic

eagie

Yeah to be fair that was the appeal of how original and complete the car was, you just don't find them like that anymore.

CHRISP

And on top of that its magenta as well

Welcome mate, your the guy from sunny girvan then I have a few mates down there. That's where my cosworth came from my mate owned it and my other mate down there owns a red mk2 escort he told me about you as I love cosworths and rare imprezas.

Nice cossie btw

eagie

I was wanting a white one to begin with, but after seeing this one just had to have it

Yeah that's me I'm a glutton for punishment, this will be my 5th cosworth and 2nd Subaru. Unfortunately the Subaru may have to go soon

vroooom ptssssh

Might be a long shot, but did this come from the west end of Glasgow?

A chap up the road from me had one exactly the same from new for years then it disappeared....always wondered what happened to it. With it coming from Wylies It may well be it?

cossiestu

Lovely looking car!!

eagie

Came from Giffnock area, been there all its days as far as I'm aware?

Very nice that mate. Do you use it much.

eagie

Think I've managed about 100 metres Not long got it and drove off the trailer into the garage, its now in a lot of bits

JasonPD

Wow, looks like a nice original example, even the door cards don't look knackered!

eagie

Thanks mate, the interior is great door cards are all spot on with no shrinkage and head cloth doesn't sag either

vroooom ptssssh

Ah ok, must be a different car! great find wish I was as lucky

Coolio. Once its done dont be scared to drive it.

vroooom ptssssh

How did you come across it? I've found a black J plate sitting in a yard that I need to ask about, looks too clean to be cheap though lol.

eagie

No fear of that it'll get used as much as possible when finished

Got shown a pic of it on a Thursday morning, looked at it Thursday night and had it home by Friday night bit of an impulse buy, or as I call them a hairy arsed school boy moment

vroooom ptssssh

Better buying them and thinking later, before anyone else gets their hands on it !!

eagie

That's what I thought at the time, hope it was the right move
