I Like Subarus // 2005 STi Revival

Silver571 · 02-24-2021, 02:36 PM

Long time listener, first time caller here.

I am back in another Subaru. This time, back into a proper GD STi. I picked up this OBP locally in DFW for a steal but it is a bit rough around the edges. I have plans to restore and build this car into everything I wanted back in the early aughts.

I have a parts delivery coming any minute now which will be the first step in sorting out this build. Nothing crazy is coming (except maybe the wheels...) so don't expect to see any flares, wide bodies, or anything of that nature.

First, a bit of history...

It all started in 2005 with this beautiful PSM that I should've never sold:

I sold this back in 2013 when I had the desire to move on to other platforms and get the mullet wagon experience.

Said mullet wagon:

Nostalgia struck and I purchased a brand new 2017 STi. Here she is right before I sold her:

Now, that car didn't last too long because the fuzzies wore off quickly. I knew I eventually wanted another Subaru but it had to be a GD chassis. A friend of a friend was selling his extremely clean bugeye, and I had to have it:

Then, one day, while minding my own business a friend text me a link to a FB posting with a cheap, clean-titled, OBP STi. I didn't mean to buy it... but it happened.

With the others:

More to come.

Nice looking parts list so far! Loved your red STi and yeah I can see why you miss your GD chassis PSM, also a beauty.

What's going to happen here? What's in some of the unmarked boxes? Asking for a friend?
