Default Made a barn find tonight...

Found this in the corner of my barn tonight under a sheet. Forgot it was even there. Looking at how dirty it is, I think my brother has as well.

He's been building it from a bare shell for years. He gets it ready to go on the road, then chages soemthing, then looses interest, then gets the bug back, gets it finished then changeds soemthing else then looses interest. But I've finally nailed him down to finish it for this summer.

Got a pretty good alround spec;

It's only about 400BHP, standard STI running gear, Apexi management with parallel fuel mod, HKS intercooler, HKS exhaust manifold, HKS filter, HKS exhaust and decat, HKS coilovers, fully adjustable Group A rear end and diff cradle, Brembos all round, Version 10 interior inc dashboard, Defi's, carbon bloody everywhere lol, carbonfibre genuine ex WRC front bumper, carbon rear top spoiler, all carbon bonnet vents, carbon WRC wing mirrors, Type RA roof scoop, Whiteline and Perrin roll bars and drop links etc, loads of AH fabrications bits like battery tray, all tanks like PAS, Header, Oil breather etc all AH. He's spent a fortune building it to be fair. Lots of things that no other cars have like the interior, front bumper (needed extending to fit a road car hence why it's painted), roof scoop etc.

Tidy spec, acceleration should be pretty sudden with c400bhp... clean it up and stick a few pics up, it looks like a decent car tbh.

good find that, not a subaru fan myself though my mate had a great find a few years back, mk1 rs2000 escort. He was a gardener and had a look in old hut/barn in garden he was doing. Had been sat for 12 year doing nothing was the ladies late husband that owned it. She said if you can move it you can just take it!! Ended up only needing few bits and bobs like the brakes as they were siezed and he sold it for 8 grand a plead with him to keep the thing or give it to me for free lmao couldnt believe his luck!

'tinas were sold here up to 1970, the Capris began selling here at Mercury dealers in 1970,
stopped in 1977. The "Pumpkin" as SWMBO calls it is a '76...

As for the Scooby, we sold it, the wife prefers driving the XR, being turbo'd...
