Frayz's V7 Prodrive Edition Impreza STi - "The Bomber"

Took the old girl out for a drive last Saturday and upon coming home I gave her the usual inspection. Found some oil mist on my inner wing that I identified as PAS fluid.

On investigating further I found that my HP PAS line was leaking a small amount of fluid through the core of the hose.
I removed it before it failed, caused a fire or worse.
I took it to my hydraulics shop for a second opinion. They were very helpful as always and put the failure down to heat, and the hose being used slightly outside its rated pressure.
The shop made me up a brand new heavy duty hose there and then free of charge.

I've also been cutting the car up again. Although I'll let the photos do the talking here.

More to come soon

Couple more bits to do and she's ready for some paint.
Mesh is just test fitted for now.

How about a reverse scoop at the same time? I rather like my DRMotorsport slatted one painted to match the car, a v6 classic. It lets the rain in though, as your mesh vent will.

No, for me the iconic part of the car is the scoop so would like to keep it. It will let water through but I have a plan for that.

Quick snap now it all done on the exterior.

Bonnet removed and stripped for paint.

Now sporting the full on street racer look. Tempted to go for a Fast & Furious style drive. Haha.

Awesome work as always mate. You're braver than me cutting a perfectly good bonnet!

So any more updates on this one Frayz?

Not sure but it was up for sale so not sure if it's gone to a new home yet.

Think frayz is looking for a mk2 escort and with the attention to to detail on his impreza it will be one hell of a car.

its not changed in the last few months and it whilst its technically for sale its not really advertised anywhere apart from a few forums by word of mouth............
think Frayz wants a decent price (cant blame him) and isn't really fussed if its sells or not
