The Bomber... Just another Impreza?

Been following this on ClioSport for years (I'm Jason_E on there). Such an epic build! Plus all your Carbon stuff is cool. I used to work for Prodrive Composites, and a few people I work with used to work there back when they were making this stuff (Even back when it was Tickford, hence your splitter!). Nice blast from the past for them lol!

Ditto - I've been costing up a 2.35 or 2.5 closed deck conversion for my Forester Sti!
I did price up a complete 2.1 stroker kit for mine but it seemed best to have a word with myself. It doesn't need to go 2.1 for the power I want so I'd just be throwing money away doing it. At least I've convinced myself that's the case for now anyway...
Just home after a "somewhat expensive" 750 mile round trip to see a very friendly Mr Gamble in Wolverhampton and then on to see crazy Dave down in Swansea.
I'm absolutely delighted to have nailed down a set of freshly serviced genuine WRC Sachs dampers.
Probably THE most important part of the car, and one area I really didn't want to cut any corners was the suspension.
Dropped in to see the old shed!
Bumpers are made of this funny black stuff.
Offside rear qtr mid way though.
Front wheel wells are 95% there and will be finished up when the whole body is ready for final prep.
Obviously no trip to Dave is complete without an obligatory "Gusset shot". I just love how pretty the screen bar gusset is.

Errr... Yes, it would be road legal!http://www.motorsportauctions.com/category/323/Wor...
That's the best part about rally cars, they have to be road legal! They're driven between stages on the public roads!
Well what with the flood of competition machinery in and out of the workshop my car hasn't had an update in a while.
However pleased to show the offside rear qtr panel has been made and the tub work done.
All in steel hand formed and rolled.
She's ticking along in the background and getting closer and closer to getting that final run on the spit.
Qtr panel on this side is just resting in place for now but give a good idea as to how she will look. The scale of the size of a WRC wheel well is quite apparent when you look side on compared to that of a road car. They fully protrude into the rear door aperture.
I think it looks mega and is a credit to Daves hard work and attention to detail.
Enjoy.
