Project is under way!

Well its about time that I create some sort of a blog page for this build.

Since this is the very very first blog post, I'll explain a little further into detail.

The car: is a 2002 Subaru Impreza TS wagon. I bought this car as a shell with the intent of putting a STi power plant into the thing. I will not be doing all of the work myself, however I will be doing a lot of the work on it. This includes the body prep as well as the mechanical side of things. Hopefully I get to put as much time into it as I hope to.

The plan: is to put a 2006 STi power plant into the shell. Yes, this includes motor, transmission, brakes, hubs, differentials, and full suspension. On top of that, the interior will be also fully from a 2006 STi. The donor STi was a roll over vehicle from US and was only good for parts.

Originally, the wagon had started out with a blue exterior, no engine, no transmission, no suspension, or any wiring for that matter.. In fact, most if not all of the wiring on the car had been cut! This includes wiring harnesses that were inside the doors. Whatever happened to just pulling the plug?

I've attached a few initial pictures of the day I first saw the wagon with its wagon front fenders and then the day that we towed the baby to the body shop without those fenders and a different hood. Anyone that knows Subarus will know exactly what's going on here. The 02 is going to get an 04/05 front end with sedan fenders. In addition to this, we will be doing a sedan conversion on the rear quarter panels! The car is going for a complete colour change to top it all off.
