wow, sounds familure...I've been without my car for about 2.5 years and I'm picking it up on sunday. shop went out of business and put my car in a storage building. this is what it looked like when I got it back about 3.5 months ago...

I almost cried when I saw it...now, 3.5 months and about $3k later(for paint and missing/broken parts...), she's almost finished.

sorry for the hijack!

OK you officially beat me hands down. Hope it all works out in the long run.

Hey Keith, yeah that pic was taken where Rich works. You been there I suppose? Rear bumper skin was sent up to me from a nabisco member somewhere in TX. Heck I drove down to Niagara Falls, ON to sell one to anashty like last winter.

Billy, beautiful car man! 22b vents would compliment it very well.

Billy · 08-04-2005, 10:26 AM

Thanks for the comments guys. Keep them coming, good or bad.

Believe it or not, I don't like 22B vents. I had a new replica set long ago and sold them. Call me strange but I really like the look of the stock vents.

Billy, it looks great. I'd stick to a more traditional STi Ver VI wagon look, but your's looks great regardless. Red GF8s are the hotness. Great job.

I'll pick up my car in Houston on sunday and begin the 4 hour trek back to Austin, so I'll have pics up on either sunday night, or monday evening.
