Boom shigody.. scored a decent hood!! Now waiting for my front fenders. Ordered a few more things last week like an electronic exhaust cutout. Leaving stock 04 wrx muffler and installing exhaust cutout in the rear.. closed in my neighborhood and open when time to BRAAAP!!

More parts electronic exhaust cutout..

Replacement windshied upper trim piece..

I don't know what it is, I love OEM replacement parts.

It's because they genuine.

Fenders came in 22B replica. Kinda 50/50 on how they will hold up its 100% fiberglass made.. was hoping it were metal. Time to swap fenders, remove old hood and install better condition hood.

Finally got some garage time.. 1 inch gains with 22b fenders

Locked in my personalized plates lol!! 2 weeks is the typical waiting time right? First time getting personalized plates..

Heck yes. For my plates it was a little longer as I'm out of state. I think it took about 3 and a half to 4 weeks.

Slow update: plates, pre soaking struts for coilover installation and front brakes.

More parts on the way.. looks like the GD coilovers I have won't work the top hats do not bolt up going to try ebay specials for now..

Little progress drilled holes for the GD top hat studs that was suggested to me.. looks like I'll be keeping both sets lolol.. In case one of them blows out..

Green is good!

New parts in the box, great sight.

Removing rust.. prepping for rust treatment and panel rebuilding.



Scrubbed and cleaned road grime underneath front quarter panels.





DIY air scrubber came in handy.

Picked up more goodies 02 WRX trans with LGT 1 2 3 STI 4 5, rear dif, axles, ect.. ie LEGO swap lol





Comes with Kartboy goodies!!!

Update: modified panels to a overlay design instead of using them as dedicated panels. The parameter edges did not quite match when dry fitting them this should give me better body lines in the end.

Got one side preset. Screws are being used to keep the body lines when I 5200 silicone to attach panel, fiberglassing around the parameter, and spray foaming the gap.







I like the curves on her

Fresh! Good to see progress. Thanks for the updates!

Update: repaired rusted metal at rear wheel wells and began body forming.

Resurrecting this thread. Spoiler came in couldn't justify using oem RS factory spoiler on this car.

I am close to laying primer next been doing body work for the past 3 months. The fiberglass widebody panels wasn't completely flat from factory.

Keep the updates coming, love the progress pics

Update. Layed first coats of primer, sprayed new undercoating, DIY scoop primed, and homemade paintbooth.

OEM Aspen White layed down like butter. Used a LPLV paint gun 1.4 tip.

Prepped garage for painting. Still have 2 small spots to correct with glazing putty.
