Before & after. New ongoing project.

Before and after shots of my new ongoing tidy up project.
Bought it with horrible black stickers on, moss in bumper gaps, grills, spoiler etc. looks like it has been parked up and just started afew times.
I put Baldy's skills to the test and this is the result.
Well happy with it, the de-sticker pic was taken today, Baldy has better pics after the full valet.
Very happy with his work and i think iv got hold of a good car which is going to become a very clean V2 Subaru.

Massive difference that has made - well done to Baldy's quality work. It also means the wife won't have to do it any more Steven  

looks much better well done.

Cheers Mario, nothing will stop her feom cleaning, if it aint dirty, dont clean it, she dont understand that lol. Few stone chips and marks that are going to get sorted first, then im going to look into steam cleaning the engine and bringing that upto scratch and focus on painting and getting Locky to dip afew parts from the engine. Alot to do but ill get there

Will keep ya busy mate - I spent all morning cleaning mine and no sooner had I finished than it pissed down with rain - as per feckin' usual   

Still it was my therapy session as the car has been neglected because of the weather over the winter. Hopefully the weather will be getting better and the lighter nights are coming so will be able to give it some proper TLC. Keep up the good work bud.

I dont have the patience with cleaning cars, i end up spotting things that pisss me off.
Our lass started with the stickers with a hairdryer, i took over on passenger door and got fed up of looking at chips etc. aint got the patience.
I may ask for your services on the engine mate, may have a ride througj yours when weather is ok and you can show me how to go on with the cleaners and stuff, if thats ok?

No problem mate any time

Looks good mate those decals were just plain nasty looks much smarter now, good base for a project

Cheers mate, gonna get it serviced and focus on a big clean up lol.

Probably got a sound car under all the crap, its sacrilege when they dont get looked after, a bit of effort is all it takes

It just looks like its been stood. Still got a bargain tho. Easily get money back if i ever sell it.

And then some, mine was the same when I got it just some old fart didnt know what he had. It looks completely different now mind it was bog standard when I got it

Love the clean white. Really good job

still trying to sort this bloody phone to get pics ..spent about 3-4 hours with the machine polisher could believe how much grime was on it .gona have another go next wk im not completely happy with it but the hard works done now...really good car and a bargain steve too many origional bits not to be genuine ..didnt steam the engine as i dont want the blame for blowing it up .she never been panelled .and very level apart from from rear arches ,the metal worm have set in but hopefully my pal gona sort them.steve i would just do sensible mods and not go to mental ,be a shame to spoil an origional car

Dont worry mate i aint going OTT with it. Gonna be a clean example when im finished. My luck with scoobies aint good but this 1 has lasted more than 3 days without major issues lol. Glad you like it paul. Good job you have done on it mate really pleased with the way it looks.

nice set of gold compomotives and standard headlights and that would look awesome.
my fave colour for a classic

Steven I will let you know about Steve's pal's work in Afew days after he has painted my spoiler and bonnet scoop lol but he seems a canny lad only joking Paul hopefully drop bits off tomorrow for him

Get underneath all cleaned off and under sealed. AC auto colour has just done his, looks awesome I'll get him to post a pic on.

Looks loads better you just need to get them lights changed. Try putting an ad on ebay to straight swap them for an original set you never know?

Steve did u find out what was causing the misfire ?

The passenger light has a stupid bracket holding the light in, going to get a set of lights off James if he has kept hold of them coz i hate the angels.
Getting all the paintwork sorted first Stick as has laquer peel in odd places etc. lack of funds ar the minute.

No mate, i think its a plug or ht lead but it wont of been serviced if its been stood

Looks much better with the decals off!

Awesome start to a project and as for not going OTT lets see how long that lasts    

Good luck with the rest of the project   

Cheers maca, its staying as standard as it can at the moment.
Nice and subtle is what its getting.
