Default Amtrapids RS

Hi guys been on here for a while now and haven't posted up any pics of the old girl . She aint much but I love her . In the early 90s my two dream cars when I just started driving were the r32 GTR Skyline and a series one or two RS Turbo.
I joined the army after school and after a few stints overseas found my self with enough money to buy one of them .
An Australian delivered 1/100 r32 GTR. It cost me a pretty penny $75000 as back then they were only 18 months old in Australia ,being mad about Bathurst I had to have an Aussie one . At this stage the import scene really hadn't hit its stride and there were very few GTRs around Perth. I shall dig through my pics and scan some photos down the track and post them for you guys as digital cameras were not the thing back then lol. Anyway after several years and time to buy my first home the GTR had to go.

So brings us to our second dream car the car of my childhood god Colin . If I have to explain who he is your in the wrong place . After selling my last Subaru and not having any type of performance for at least 6 yrs. My wife could see my sad face becoming common and me turning into a shell of a man ( I actually watched a full episode of Home and Away) I saw the car I needed.

It needed some work to bring her back to her former glory but all this did was make my smile bigger .A 92 RS liberty now all wasn't to be perfect .Yes I was whole again but there are idiots out there that cant drive and like to rear end your car writing it off. I purchased her back along with a excellent GX AWD roller and a rare rolled legacy with full leather interior and climate control. Last purchase was a 96 wrx engine, box , diff and loom. The motors were pulled down and the rs short block was cleaned up and rebuilt. The wrx heads were then bolted to the block and the rs ancillary's put back on . I also used the GX
bonnet as I liked the cleaner sleeper look.Attachment 12152
