Picked up a Pristine U brace and some OE STi Sideskirts. The Sideskirts were on a AutoCross car .. the good news is they are Aspen White.. the Bad news is there is ALOT of cone rash on them and they are going to take alot of work to get into shape..
I think I ordered the last round of Dealer stuff today.. -Sideskirt Clips. -Sideskirt Endcaps Everything else is in except one of the Torsion STi Decklid Rods *Trunk Springs are ready for pickup at mt Dealer. So I will have plenty of projects to keep me busy in the future.. to install everything.. Took the car on a 400 mile round trip excursion yesterday .. Basically to shake it down and make sure it was all good. It rained part of the way.. which was ok.. needed to verify everything was able to seal up.. with no leaks.. - Water Temp never got over 205.. usually it was hanging about 180 the whole trip - Oil pressure stayed consistent at 65psi while cruising It did throw a P420 on the way home.. it cleared.. and didn't have any other issues.. I will get some pics of the sideskirts.. they are in pretty rough shape.. but nothing a little time and elbow grease won't take care of.. *hopefully More Later Bill |

Got ALL my ordered parts from the dealer so I will have plenty of projects to keep me busy. I got: -New Cowl panel -New Left Rear Arch Molding in WG/51E -Bunches of Clips and bolts. -New Wiper Arms -got some used Door panels/switches and switch plates out of a used STi. but they seem to be in better shape than the ones I have soo SCORE.. All the Panels/window-doorlock switches and housings for less than what a Brand New Door panel would have cost. -UBrace will be installed now along with the new undertray .. OH The Biggest News: Its currently at one of the best Dent specialist in the state if not the country.. 30 years of experience to get the body in Pristine Shape.. then it might go back to my Detailer for once over before I put it up for the winter.. It will be in pretty much show condition when I finish all this.. Still working on the Strakes and touchup of some chips in thel paint on the front. Still a blast to drive Big smiles... My Flatbottom Steering wheel is being made up right now and should be on its way soon Have a great day People. Bill |

It's great to see you restoring your old car. I've been doing the same. I was sick of seeing the cars being parted out so I bought a white 2005 sti from an auction that had hit a big buck in South Dakota and have been rebuilding it.
Keep up the awesome work! |

I love it. I have the cash, but I wish I had the time and space to do something like this.
I still own the first car I ever bought. It's a 1990 Mustang GT. It's sitting in hibernation in my Mom's garage in California. One day I'll do something similar to this and build it up as a restomod project with my daughter. |

That feeling you get when you sell a car and you see it driving away with someone else in it...but then seeing it come back down the road back to you would be awesome! Such a rad story man
