Nice. The Monaro is my new favourite car, obsessed with them recently. Yours looks awesome. I've heard that running one (apart from fuel) isn't all that costly? I'm used to E39 running costs where high service bills are common. In a couple of year's it could be a realistic prospect, seeing that my annual mileage will be 3-5000!

It's an abomination of what would look quite cool is it was standard.
Wheels ARE st. They looking fking awful.

highest insurance group..

and hiding epic amounts of rust ( body panels not sealed very well or at all at construction so hold all of our lovely road grit and keep it lovely and moist frown )

they're at a tipping point at the moment..

like the original KA's.. everyone loved them.. until suddenly everyone hated them and called them all rot boxes.. as they eventually turned out to be frown
There is no point restoring old subarus. There are billions of them and most for peanuts. Old Fords have far more charm. However finding one without rust probably also futile. Unless it has already been restored or kept in a heated garage. Both these makes were built down to a price to be disposable in reality.
that is true.

i guess a classic impreza will never be overly valuable like a cosworth.

I recognise the top line as english words but what the hell does it mean!?
Again subjective but they are far from st, I'd go as far to say they probably function pretty well as wheels you just don't personally like them, this doesn't make them st wheels
Interior retrim again doesn't look gash, it looks very well done but isn't quite to your tastes which again doesn't make it gash
Front bumper meh I can take it or leave it
I'm guessing you havent seen F&F if thats what it envokes in your mind, simply the builder of the car letting people know which company did it, no huge ninja man down the side or whatever, quite subtle if you ask me

Very true, most barried vectras/mondeos/3ers are driven by 30-40yr olds. This must mean 30-40yr olds have crap taste.

Stereotyping is fun, no?

  • why does it have "air-brakes" on the rear pillars?
  • Are those Venetian blinds in the rear windows?
