sczscoob Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) Well after searching for a while for a Series Mcrae i finally came across one that fitted the bill. It's not perfect, but i've got 3 weeks at home to get it to the way i want it. I've not got any pics to put up yet cause i'm still on the rig but i'm home later today so i'll probably get some up later or tomorrow. Bought it from a guy down in the area of Southampton & got it transported to my doorstep for £300!! Couldn't have done it any cheaper myself. There's some sunstrips along the back & front windows that will be coming off & i'll get it looking as original as i can. So roll on the next meet/run! Anyway sorry no pics at the moment but i'll get some up asap! Edited February 11, 2009 by sczscoob
RA Dunk Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 ahh so thats why you were after those Safaris of mine, the series Mcrae came with those as standard did they?

Should be braw by the time i'm finished! Oh & it's even got a 555 plate! Happy days Dunc can i get the wheels on fri? aictransport(I think i'll double check) in Aberdeen took it up the road for me.

RA Dunk Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Dunc can i get the wheels on fri? no probs dude
RA Dunk Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 nice car BTW, was this one in total impreza a few months back, i seem to remember a series mcrae with a 555 plate in it
scouk Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) Hubba hubba! I thought those wheels suited the car somehow.... Edited February 11, 2009 by ScoUK
sczscoob Posted February 11, 2009 Author Posted February 11, 2009 nice car BTW, was this one in total impreza a few months back, i seem to remember a series mcrae with a 555 plate in it No it was member from the series-mcrae owners club. I remember him going on about it. Seeminly the 555 plate was an optional extra when they first came out. Oh & can you you pm me your mobile?? I'll text you before i leave.
nkwrx Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Jealous of that car mate. Luvvly can't wait to see it once you've done your stuff
scooby222 Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 lovely wayne,cant wait to see it in the flesh after youve worked your magic!
euan_r Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 nice one wayne. now if i was to have an earlier car again and looking for a wee bit extra, i would be thinking scoobyecu and downpipe.
RS Grant Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Nice, these look really good when polished up with a couple of subtle mods. Cheers, Grant
sczscoob Posted February 12, 2009 Author Posted February 12, 2009 I've pulled off the rather large sunstrips from the front & rear windows. There was a big SUBARU sticker along the back window aswell, which is also off now but left the hologram, but i'm sure that will come out with the polishing machine. Here's a few more pics from today. Still can't stop smiling every time i fire it up!!
tommo9375 Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Yeah September next year for a polish Rich,looks like i might have to buy a polishing machine of my own and practice on my 'rover runabout' Very nice Wayne,will be popping over for a look when i come home - oh i miss my classic !!!!
sczscoob Posted February 13, 2009 Author Posted February 13, 2009 ahh so thats why you were after those Safaris of mine, the series Mcrae came with those as standard did they? Nice to meet you today Duncan, great to put a face to the username!
