Hey! Remember this  It's now this. After lots of inner arch repairing and making random little plates up   Now my mojo is restored i'll tackle the inner arches in the boot area. I've decided to completly cut them out and make my own, giving her a small 'tub' whilst i'm at it. I also spent many pennies on wiring stuffs, no real progress as yet as i'm waiting for it to arrive, but I did do this to fit this   So, that's where I'm at really. My garage is tiny for this car, so I'm wanting to get the wiring done enough to start her so I can move her outside to work |

I've throw in a +1 for the NA Impreza, much prefered the way it drove and handled over the Turbos I had.
Grab a 'sport' and it's already got the turbo bodykit, less the curse word bonnet scoop that you would remove anyways right?

They grip very well, folks confuse that with handling.
Out the box they push the front end badly, it's a poor experience. Can be fixed easy enough mind, with many pennies...

Air Rifle! More fun than a bit of wood on a stick! Or do what Maxxxer did and build some sort of electric zappy grabber type affair - scary stuff... |

I wouldn't offer a penny.
Ask him what he wants for it and work from there.
He knows what he wants, he just wants to test if you're a fool.

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/173487728975Because you can never do the same trick twice... And also because I have nowhere to store it. Cracking little trailer though, easily handles 3 portly gentleman across rough terrain whilst carrying enough beers to satisfy the thirstiest RRer

The reassuringly expensive Stella is remarkably close to the uncompromisingly hot engine, which could lead to unsatisfyingly warm beer. A good point well made. Something i'd not thought about. It's a side mount thing, so wont work on the mudguards. I'll counter your concern with the fact that it's just whilst negotiating betwix cars and tents (as the steering is heavy, at least on tarmac) and also, I've never had a beer long enough for it to get warm! |

I love the Tractor as it my good man.
the only thing i'm tempted to do is see if I can fit a larger pulley to the engine for some more speeds. Currently does about 6-8mph

I loves me a good Tat auction.
Though, if folks could dig deep and supply slightly less 'tat' and more usable stuff, the money for charity can only get betterererer
