hello...new scooby owner

[rob4wd]

hello everyone....recently bought a wrx ra from a guy in cupar..car has had many owners and has spent a lot of time at events in scotland...there is zero history with the car so i am trying to find out something, anything about it...car is basically sound but having running problems. am sorting the body first though -was originally feather white , then red , then blue...not a brilliant job so i'm returning it to it's original white...does anybody recognise it?...thanks for any input

Hopefully someone will be able to shed some light. Nice to see someone taking a classic and restoring it back to its original beauty. Doesn’t look to bad in the pics to be honest.

hiya scoobiefloz....

yep paintwork looks great in the pics and looked pretty good from 6 feet away too.  close up it was poor...lots of sanding marks and mapping on the bonnet and poor repairs on the rear arches. price to sort paint completely wasn't a whole lot more than to sort it locally and i love the idea of it being it's original colour...the wr blue didn't start 'til 01 so back to the 90s it is.

engine will be next...has had some extensive mods but i may tone them down a little...

 

cheers

A lovely classic your doing the right thing as to bringing it back to its original colour white. I have a classic 1999 gray myself and I think it' time to bring these iconic machines back it' a great project to take on and hopefully you will be able to find some history......... keep updating pics Ile be doing the same enjoy?
