OK, wheels first...
I had a few considerations when it came to wheels, and I had my choice narrowed down to either Team Dynamics pro-race 1.2, or Compomotove MO's, due to the size and offset I required..
I had to consider the overall weight of the wheels, as because of the high offset (25 as opposed to 48 STD), I knew it would be extra strain on the old arms..
This battle was won by the TD's...
I had to also consider cost...
This battle was also won by the TD's..
Looks...
Well I like the TD's for a start, and I am happy with the choice I have made, BUT, the truth of the matter is that I simply could not make my mind up which colour I really wanted in the MO's.
I deliberated over anthracite, bronze, and white..
In the end I could not justify coughing up double money for the MO's, and then not being entirely sure whether or not I had made the right colour choice..
Hence, the TD's are fitted..
Maybe once the car is on the road, and funds permit, I will treat her to some MO's..

That's the only major thing to do, but even once fitted, there is some more fabrication to be done, due to custom pipework installation etc...
I am on with many many little jobs which take way too much time at the moment too...

you certainly have some skills
at first thought why bother with something, with that amount of fire damage, then when getting to the bottom , it become clear

Not a big lover of that shape scooby, but I LOVE the attention to detail and hard graft thats gone into this.
The car looks spot on mate, a real credit to you. Now go and tell everyone else that how to build a proper impreza, not by putting twatty stickers and massive spoilers on them.
Love it
