After owning my car for the past 5 years I was at a crossroads. I wanted to give it a full respray but I also always wished that when I built it I had used an STI driveline. After much pondering and daydreaming I found this;



Previous owner had owned this 97 Sportswagon for a number of years and decided to convert it. Rather than buy a front cut, the guy bought an entire low kms V3 STI from JWS to use as a donor. He got to the point of having the driveline bolted in and and got the car 90% ready for paint before his panel beater died. He had run out of money and enthusiasm with the project so a deal was done.

I have owned it for about 2 weeks and got it running yesterday. Wooo.
Will update this thread as I go. I am aiming for it to be finished in 6 months but easter would be good.

Anyways, pics;








Thanks goes out to Neil (Seagull) for the loan of an engine loom to help me re-pin this




Need more storage...
