Not a huge amount. It is now sporting 2.0 16v brakes aswell. Will be fitting GTE/GSI side skirts soon and a rear anti-roll bar. Other than that and the minor body repairs it's unlikely to change much. Have been thinking about fitting an SR engine, but would need a full donor car and an understanding wife. She's like, "What do you need a big engine for, you've got the Subaru?" And I've just had the carb re-built so I'll run the 1.0 litre for a wee while more.
Just put rain-X on all the glass and took it out to see what it's like (cause it's always raining is Scotland), highly recomended!!!!!
Very nice indeed. Gotta love how you can fit twin subs into a saloon boot and still have loads of room for shopping
Have a butchers on the VIN plate for the colour code, it'll probably be listed in the colour chart (link in my sig).
I was considering having black bumpers on mine - judging by yours I think I'll get on with that. :D

Fitting the side skirts and rear anti-roll bar I got from Colin.
What a nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!
1st - Painted the skirts black only for me to forget I'd left them outside to dry and it started raining!
2nd - These skirts don't fit saloon's too good. They're not long enough, but f**k it, they're going on and I'll sort something out later since I have to paint them again.
3rd - Nice cold damp day to be doing this. Tiger seal is taking an age to go off.
4th - Abandon ship it's about to pi$$ down. Retreat into the garage and re-fit the skirts.
5th - Cut hand with saw whilst making timber props to hold the skirts onto the car.
6th - Hands are killing me, I'm soaking wet, lips are chapped beyond belief.
Only good thing - Anti roll bar fitted without any problem and I replace the brake fluid whilst wheels were off.
Some pics of how I've left it in the garage and my P1's having to suffer the weather tonight on the driveway.......
It my works' night out tonight so that'll keep my mind off it until tomorrow......
what you gunna do about the gap?
could you not cut up another pair of skirts to bridge the gap ??? how do people fit the skirts without the fin ??
im not a fan of the wheels either im afraid but other than that looks good
yea really nice car mate i just dont like the install but then agen it dont like anything in me sr but seats and a steering wheel i dont even want a sterio
Hoping that I can find someone with an in-complete set so I can cut out a piece to fill it.Originally Posted by JSeymour
Been there already mate, with the stripped out Nova, Roll cage etc etc. But that was my weekend car and this is my every day car. The comforts of carpet and a stereo make a difference.yea really nice car mate i just dont like the install but then agen it dont like anything in me sr but seats and a steering wheel i dont even want a sterio

That's me now finished up at work until the 8th. Finally a chance to take a good side shot of the car with the new skirts on. Also first shot of the car with the new brakes aswell.
Was thinking of making a GSI hatch spoiler fit. Anyone know if this has been tried on a saloon?
