I posted in jest. Not for sale I'm afraid. Plan to use it this year.

Well after selling up last year for a mk5 GTI which soon ended up on a hunt for an Impreza or a R32. Covid19 surely hampered my hunt for something new but any car I was interested in after receiving further pictures all had the envitable rust for these age of cars and particular models.
When I had sold the vRS I had asked the buyer to give me first shout if he was to sell. Fast forward to last week and thankfully he did just that.
The car has done to little to no extra mileage since I had it with just 50k on the clocks. The car has had new pads and discs all round, serviced and has been detailed and is looking as good as ever.
Some rubbish photos of it in the garage for now. Plans are to further perfect it and have some bits replaced but truth to be told it really doesnt need anything.

Most people have asked why in earth did I buy my old car back. Fair enough I suppose.. but glad to get it back.Fantastic
Now you've got a second chance, remap and add one of these! Completely transforms the car - so much more enjoyable and adds silly noises to boot!

My black one was stage 1 and the thought has crossed my mind.
I certainly think so, theres just something about them.
Yeah it was kept very well and was a no brainer buying it back. Well to me anyway

Fantastic to see it back. A little jealous in fact.
I’ll second that! Really enjoyed mine and it was nowhere near as clean as this is!

Give the car a quick clean, I just love a red motor when its clean.
Starting to compile an Ebay saved list, I'm after a new genuine drivers headlight as the existing is crazed. I had already replaced the passenger side so it would be good to get them in similar condition. Also need silly things like a petrol cap cord and would like to replace the key fobs again as the top fobs are loose.

Still tinkering away with this when I can.
Replaced the exhaust mount with a new genuine one as the back box was sagging a little.
I picked up a replacement drivers headlight as the original was too far gone with weathering and no amount of sanding/buffing was going to cure it.
The original..
The replacement...
Going to get a few snaps of the car inside the local dealership where it was originally bought new in the next few weeks which will be kind of cool.
