The Bomber... Just another Impreza?

It's a shame at our local supercar gathering it gets overlooked as just another a chavs car.

I feel your pain in this respect. My wife hates my subarus and has asked me to stop spending money on cars that "frankly look f***ing s***!". She clearly has no taste as she married me!

I see super (or at least top end) cars every day in the city, but this would be the car I'd be pawing over if I saw it at a super car gathering!

Nowhere near finished but the 1st door gets some epoxy and high build primer on it.

Before anyone asks. It's not supposed to be smoothed to the door as that's how the S7/8 cars were. Only the S11 onwards had a blended door.

This build is absolutely incredible.

Haha. I've had it for so long and they evolve. I still love the evolution of this car.
It still makes me smile and I want it to be an event every time I get in it.

I had just sold my wr1 when you were considering selling it a couple of years ago, had some silly thoughts but it was never going to happen

Trying to do it as well as my mortal budget will allow.
It won't be the real thing, but will certainly look like it as the exterior WILL be the real thing.

Yeah it's a tough call. Was like putting your child up for sale. I dare say I couldn't have gone through with it.

Beautiful S12b design gearbox cradle.





Tub work started today too.

Look away if you're squeamish



Check out the beautiful S14 shell behind

[kin quick]

That's going to be a proper bit of kit Frayz!!

Looks awesome, good effort for having the balls to go ALL out



......and, no, I didn't expect anything less

[TotalControl]

Absolutely nuts. Love it.

[Robins]

Incredible! Love the dedication mate

As Ross said, gutsy!

Like seeing the jig work, makes you appreciated more the hours that go on behind the scenes with tooling as well as shell prep.

[frayz]

Agree Andy. The work that's going into it by Dave is truly staggering.
It's as nice to watch him create and fabricate as it is seeing the finished product.

Frayz, why the need for the new cradle, OEM gearbox?

[frayz]

Lightweight WRC cradle mate.

Now with added ventilation. #BecauseWRC

[Carlos24]

Absolutely mind blowing levels of commitment!
