I’ve had several projects before I even acquired a driving licence, these were mainly vauxhall novas, once I passed my test I acquired this impreza in stock form and did a fair bit of the prep work myself. In my ownership of 3 1/2years it's had 3 resprays and 3 different looks, I just can’t seem to make my mind up, but when you want something to look perfect in your eyes then you have to be prepared to change it a few times, to get that look your after. 

There are a lot more plans for the car: bigger breaks, carbon hood, sound system (needs fitting) , possibly forged engine, bigger turbo and injectors in the future. 

Car is very popular amongst several Subaru groups and attends local shows on a yearly basis, I will be going further afield and attending bigger ones further away. I love to show the car off and get involved more with the car scene. I've made a lot of friends and picked up some good tips on my journey with my car. That's what all this is about helping each other and meeting new people. I hope to see some of you at shows and events, come and say hi and give my insta a follow cheers.

Its been a long journey and this is how it used to look, I've added lots of new parts since these pictures, the images in the slider is how it looks now, I think you'll agree it looks much better now, it as that stealth look and I think all the parts I've added finnish it of perfectly, I'm really happ with how it looks, what do you think.
