The Bomber... Just another Impreza?

[stew-S160]

Holy smokes that's awesome. One of the nicest Impreza I've seen.

[frayz]

Cheers Stew,
Its getting there but its a long road ahead

[frayz]

Well the build is still happening but slowly slowly so not much to update.
You may remember I managed to track down a genuine 2002 carbon bib splitter for the front. However I am glad to say that I've also managed to track down a brand new genuine S7 Tarmac splitter.

Now I have the choice as to mixing up the look a little.

Good find.

Stunning bit of kit! Now get it bolted on the bloody car!

By the way, where do you find all this WRC parts bin stuff?.....

There are a number of rally car sites as well as the obvious eBay etc.
Once you start buying into this stuff you kind of end up talking to folk who know folk who have stuff stashed.

These parts are literally no good to man nor beast if you don't have a WRC car. The S8 is an old car these days so not many folk running them.

Awesome thread, I remember reading when you first posted!

I look forward to checking in again sometime in the future

Good luck!

Just have a read of what the feature journalists said when they drove the car on this setup.

Is it fair to say the reviewer quite liked it then...

[Stuballs]

Frayz this build is absolutely epic. The attention to detail is amazing! Thoroughly enjoyed reading right from the beginning. Look forward to seeing the end result! Top work!

[frayz]

Thanks very much guys. It's a massive massive undertaking for a normal run of the mil guy like me.
If I had the cash if be buying and tuning Porsches but I'm not done with his car yet and I want to make it as awesome as can possibly be for a road car.

Run of the mill guy? I'm sure we all appreciate your modesty but your work and that car are both amazing!

I can't wait to see the end product!

[frayz]

Gather round!!
Long overdue sh*tbox update.

Surprise surprise, Dave bought himself a new grinder so naturally had to cut what was remaining of my front end off. Haha.

New WRC cross brace going in to hold the bumper and rad. Beautifully hand made in S515 steel by the man himself.

Also had a cheeky mock up with some panels. Obviously all just hanging in place and not fitted but nice to see some idea as to how she will look.

[qwertina]

The shot with the panels draped over it is rather tantalising.

Must be a buzz seeing it like that.

[Shadow R1]

Now that looks the part.

[TacoExcellence]

This is my favourite project ever. It's so good.

[frayz]

Cheers guys.
Cool innit. I can't wait to see it come together. It's bloody wide and moody now.

[Shotdog]

Oh wow

[Zombie]

Lovely.
