Default 04 wagon saved from a life of winters

I've never created a build thread for this car. I'm very behind of it so atleast from here on out I can document a little something for the classics that still use this site.

Cars a 04 wrx wagon in white. I bought it off a man whose intentions were to daily drive it in the winter and we all know how that goes with wagons. You could tell looking at this thing that a enthusiast owned the car and after running the carfax it was owned by the same person for 14 years averaging under 5k a year. When I bought it it had 146k on it and needed some love. Had turbo wastegate issues and such. I've been building this car with my wife now for 4 years and it's our weekend toy and autocross/ time attack car while looking as OEM+ as possible. But it's an absolute blast for a little sti swapped wagon. I've kept the original wagon track for now and I'm slowly collecting everything to sedan strack swap it. But so far this is what I've got in her. I'm still on a 205 or if that's what it had when I got it. Theirs been talk of it maybe being something more then a 205 just because it's so damn healthy sitting at 157k. A lot of old school fun goodies and theirs not many white wagons left

Very nice!

Those power numbers in that setup make me feel good as it’s very similar to mine..

What a beauty! This is a lot of what I hope my wagon becomes.
Can you go in to detail on what you did with the rear seat? Or pictures you can share?
I have ideas floating around for mine, but I haven't put anything in motion yet.
Hope to see more of this car!

I can tell you it was an absolute pain and I ended up needing two seats to make one. So prepare for that. I didn’t take photos aside from just a few I can post here later. But I’d buy two sti rear sedan seats to make sure you have enough material so everything centered properly and prepare to add material in certain places and get a set of hogring pliers!

Sweet, can't wait to see. I've mostly been thinking about making the whole seat back fold down so that I don't have to cut the STi fabric on the front.. But retaining the 60/40 split would definitely be cool.

Yeah, NASIOC image hosting seems to be broken for the foreseeable future, for all of us that didn't get in when it was still working.
I personally use Google Photos. I have an album of all my WRX project pictures set to Shared, and then I just use that image link here. It's a bit of a pain, but it works well. From another Wagon owner (04 Blob), I'd love to see your thread.

Also, where'd you go scoobywagon06? You said you were gonna show me your rear seat!

Thanks DT - that explains why I can't join the image hosting site! I'll give Google a go as I'd like to join the wagon-owning party!

Talking of seats, I'm thinking of replacing my stock, grey and black WRX bucket seats with some blue, STi ones from a Bugeye, as they seem to have much better support than both the Blobeyes and Hawkeyes.

I’ve been slacking!!! Here’s some from this very second. It’s been dreary, cold and kinda crappy for 3-4 days I’ve been meaning to do better. But for now this is what I got!!! I kept the 60/40 split. All about OEM. Like I said, it’s not the best but it’s not bad by any means!!

Yeah, the pics look much better/clearer on my pc then when I tried to look at them earlier on my iPhone.

On the subject of seats, albeit the fronts rather than rear (nice job on those btw), were they from an '04 sedan or another wagon and in any case, were they a straight swap? I'm particularly thinking about the rails. Thanks in advance.

Pics look good on Chrome with the Imagus extension.

So you kept the 60/40 split, the head rests and everything. Very cool. Thanks for the pics!

Love the passenger seat mounted fire extinguisher too.

These came directly from a low mileage 04 sti sedan. Fronts bolt up no problem same goes for door cards! Rear is another animal lol

Thanks for the reply and confirmation. I've got my eye on a pair of front sedan seats (albeit from different cars) and am seriously thinking about swapping out my stock WRX seats for those, since the earlier ones seem to have a narrower design and therefore hold you in better. At least that has been my impression when I've sat in both types of STi seat.
