What a beauty

That is just PERFECT!

Not much happening in terms of the build lately, but I did drop the car round to @Eddie_ for a good clean before winter hibernation. Highly recommend Eddie's work!

Just absolutely epic! Would love a look around this someday.

(PS, I'd have definitely polished that pipe )

 

[acsmyth]

@Lappintyre absolutely, you're welcome anytime!

Honestly, there's zero point cleaning that pipe lol, it's a smokey auld beast due to the injectors I'm using so it would be dirty again after one pull!

 

[Crow555]

I'm just glad you left it that colour. It looks even more epic now.

 

[acsmyth]

@Crow555 indeed, it'll still be getting paint once the wider arches are fitted but it'll still be black

 

[Lee]

It's so nice to look at!

 

[acsmyth]

Wider front wings have arrived, +25mm each side which should give enough room for the wide alloys arriving in the post tomorrow

New wider rims and a quick test fit

 

[Captain Starlet]

Perfection, its coming together like a no expense spared Gran Turismo build. Can't wait to see it in action again.

 

[Laundrymike]

I didn't think this could get any better...then boom new rims

 

[acsmyth]

Full respray has begun!

 

[Bronk]

cant wait to see it finished, how was the chassis for rust? Under the skirts can be real bad sometimes

Thats amazing, brilliant news bet you are over the moon. Hopefully see it at some meets in the future

 

[acsmyth]

@Bronk you never really know with old Japanese cars, so it's definitely reassuring.

I was over yesterday and Ryan kept saying this thing is mint, doesn’t really ‘need’ painted lolol

 

[acsmyth]

Black mirror...

 

[dh1079]

Awesome finish
Can’t wait to see her finished
I’m sure your happy to hear no rust etc

 

[big_pete]

Unreal!

 

[Laundrymike]

You’re my hero...awesome

 

[Burt2000]

What a finish that is! If I ever decide to get the impreza painted I’d like to get this boys number.
