The build process has officially started. Time to start a new thread.
Quick recap. I picked up an 04 WRX with 168K miles at auction back in August. It started and went into gear but the rust on the body was quite extensive. I spent the next 8 weeks tearing the car down and cleaning up the parts. There is still a lot to be done with the old parts (engine and transmission included) but at least the process has started.
The 818C kit was delivered at the beginning of November and other then completing the inventory there has not been much action. The options I went with were the powder coating, aluminum shifter, and upgraded vinyl interior.
The goal for the car is to make it street legal, ~300hp, and to learn as much as I can along the way.
