Default Forester STI - the evolution

Gday all, I'm in the process of building up a SG9 STI Forester. The doner car was bought with the intentions for a XT, but the prices of Xts dropping to a low $20, it wasn't worthit. So ended up buying a STI Forester from Japan with the heavy assistance of a new importer/supplier "Auto Evolution" in Wangara. Every step through the auction I was updated live and everything was confirmed all the way to the purchase. Live photos were supplied as well as updates of when and where the container is, arrives tomorow.

Most importantly, the upmost care was taken to ensure what I've bought remains in its exact condition. All exterior parts (bumpers, etc) have been bubble wrapped and cardboarded to ensure no chippings, and just the care taken dismantling and loading the containers. Will get those pics up asap.

Basically the whole car has been dismantled, all panels, mechanicals and interior are on the way ready to be bolted on.

Here are the pics of the stripping of my 2.5X.








The ol 2.5 N/a Engine, was in excellent condition for a motor thats done 230,000kms i was told, no issues with it or any signs of any leaks etc.


The nice pile of wiring, and dash


The nice pile of bumpers and exterior


The nice pile of interior and whatever (my pile)



Near the final stages of stripping


The Foz on its way to get it's new colour
