Cheers guys, I have ordered the Bilt Hamber medium and soft pack of ebay. Looking forward to seeing the effect.

I am free tonight and was going to go through to Hamilton tonight anyway if that would be okay? Just sent you a text, so its up to you mate, what ever is easiest for you.

Oh and welcome to the forum. Will prob see you about town.

I have 97 impreza wrx wagon and it doesnt have a low fuel warning light so just need to keep an eye on it. Its amazing how quickly it goes down when you give it a boot.

Having never used clay bars on the car before I am looking to give it a go. What are people favourite clay? What bar would you recommend?

Thats fantastic mate, what would be the best day/time for me to pick it up? Cheers

Thats brilliant Johnny, much appreciated. Just let me know and ill make the drive. Seems the weather has turned for a bit, hope it brightens up!!

That was brilliant to look through, some car you have there. Well done man.

Thats would be amazing, i dont mind cleaning it and painting it up. How much you wanting? Cheers

I never knew that about the lights, bit of a gutter. But they are not in very good way at all. I dont think I would be able to fix them up :/

Seeing as the weather was actually quite nice tonight I decided to sting the plans and work a wee bit on the car, this included removing all the rust and paint from the battery clamp and preparing it for a fresh paint (my car didn't come with one so bought one second hand), fitting new bulbs in sidelights and headlights, trying to resolve the finger sized gap in the passenger side bumper, removing the fog lights and fitting the new covers. It doesn't seem to much but with no experience on working Subaru's what so ever it was good fun and quite interesting!! The front bumper support has completely rusted through so another part needing replaced and wait till you see the corrosion on the fog lights!! There has been some interesting wiring done on the passenger side headlight which was fun Essential music on Yeah my finger went right through!! Very dirty headlight! Getting to grips with the bumper Salt loves fog lights! Wee bit to much fun in the snow Temporary solution!! New covers and bulbs fitted, just need to get them painted now Have to say it was interesting and good fun getting my hands dirty in the car, cant wait for it to be dry again, prob wont be for another few weeks

Im hopefully getting my alloys of the car tomorrow for a good steam clean weather dependant Let us know how you get on with your tyre search?

Yeah thats what I am hoping, I have the waxoyl and kurust ready to go, just need the weather to improve to help along with it. The weather wouldnt make its mind up today in EK on and off!! Where abouts in town do you stay?

Could you let me know how you get on with repairing yours? I think I will have to get it cut and wielded to be honest, i know its dear but aint looking to get rid of the car.

This is rust needing repaired.

Hey guys, Can any of you recommend a garage for removal of rust and resprays? In the Glasgow area. Cheers

I am exactly the same, was suppsedly going to keep it standard and just clean it but then I joined this forum, thats all out the window, braided hoses, new dump valve thats not a piece of noisy pish, rear bumper support, if only i hadnt looked, and i cant stop buying cleaning gear. I went in to book the car about fitting new bumper support bar the had verbal diaorreaha on other items i wanted done! Bye bye pay

Classics all the way

Turn around of events The item was damaged in transit and the supplier was brilliant to deal with. He has offered to replace the bar or if I can get the bar straightened out and therefore use it he will refund me 50%. The guy was honest and eay to deal with so will be getting the blow torch out and seeing if I can work some magic anyone know how to bend bars?

Thats some build, its really interesting see you go about the work and the different stages being taken back, cant wait to see more. Do you have a mechanical background or are using information from various areas?

Got up nice and early this morning before I was busy thiis afternoon to clean the car. Started off well, car shampoo'd, steam cleaned windows and alloys then onto the colour restorer. When buffering it off to get it clean and shiny it started to piss down and for a final kick to the nuts was when my rear bumper support arrived during the rain. It was bent and twisted on the right side, this is some day think ill be going a wee drive to let steam off!!!

The tyre on my car are 215 45 R17 Z, rhere nice alloys but tyres are usually 100 for decent ones plus fitting if you go to Black Circles. Hope that helps.

Haha all too true, there's me with the afternoon off today and its become a fecking storm outside, great job Scotland haha

Ive seen your motor kicking about EK. Very nice. Welcome.

Thats some car, welcome.
