In progress Impreza WRX STiAndy Jones 06-15-2005, 11:38 AM Was at a bit of a loss what do to next after finishing my Pro-touring projects so to seek inspiration I opened up the wardrobe, stared at the far too many kit boxes for awhile & decided to have a go at this one. It's the Tamiya kit pretty much out of the box except where I've modified the front & rear bumpers slightly with Tamiya epoxy putty (the rear bumper still needs sanding down). I painted it silver but was too impatient and sprayed the clearcoat before the silver had dried properly resulting in a reaction in the paint :uhoh: -so here it is looking sorry for itself prior to being resprayed. Wheels are Racing Hart CR's and the hood wil probably be c/f'd. http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/500/67086misc_058-med.jpg http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/500/67086misc_059-med.jpg Thanks for looking Andy tonioseven 06-15-2005, 12:03 PM It's going to be another AJ Stunner!!:sunglasse Stickz 06-15-2005, 12:36 PM Hell yea! Looks nice Andy! blubaja 06-15-2005, 02:55 PM MMMMMM...Good luck on this scooby! Frank X. rx7king 06-16-2005, 02:04 AM you build your cars with such style, its amazing Wheelin75r 06-16-2005, 03:06 AM The rims fit perfectly on the Scooby! Keep it commin'! Andy Jones 06-16-2005, 04:16 PM Just a quick update - I've rubbed down the paint & re-primered and done a bit of work on the rear bumper - I can't recall which kit the front cannards came from. Will try & get some paint on it over the weekend. http://members.aol.com/jonesandy898/wrx.jpg http://members.aol.com/jonesandy898/wrx1.jpg Thanks for looking Andy Johnnie 06-16-2005, 04:38 PM Why these photos are so sharp? bhop73 06-16-2005, 04:43 PM The new pics are a big improvement, at least in showing the body modifications. I'm diggin' the splitters and wing. On the subject of the wing, can you tell me where you got it? I need one exactly like it for my Eclipse kit. Stickz 06-16-2005, 04:44 PM The front cannards look like the real thing! Andy Jones 06-16-2005, 04:48 PM The new pics are a big improvement, at least in showing the body modifications. I'm diggin' the splitters and wing. On the subject of the wing, can you tell me where you got it? I need one exactly like it for my Eclipse kit. From memory it came from the Aoshima SPOCOM set http://www.hlj.com/product/AOS03432 Thanks Andy tonioseven 06-16-2005, 05:06 PM Those cannards are Aoshima items; I had some in an Aristo GT Wing kit. Great progress so far Andy!!:sunglasse ImolaEK 06-16-2005, 07:25 PM Looking awesome!!! That previous STi wing you had looked soo good though:( Car looks soo nice though;) assad_l 06-17-2005, 04:21 AM I love that rear wing i think it looks loads better than the previous one cant wait to see more progress!! Bas Carwash 06-17-2005, 06:05 AM That looks really stunning! Keep it up. Andy Jones 06-18-2005, 05:03 PM Managed to spray it up in Nissan Silver today - I've also modified the front grille slightly (which I'll try & c/f together with the hood & trunk). Going to go with the stock wing as I want the other one for a Silvia I'm working on. Just hope when I clearcoat it that it the paint doesn't react again!. http://members.aol.com/jonesandy898/wrx2.jpg http://members.aol.com/jonesandy898/wrx3.jpg Sorry the pics a not best quality. Cheers Andy Alfa 147 06-18-2005, 05:07 PM Nice color, look's great ;) ImolaEK 06-18-2005, 05:46 PM Beautiful! Wow, that is just crazy;) That rear bumper came out soo good too! Andy Jones 06-26-2005, 07:44 AM Made a bit of progess on this one - paint has been polished out, window trim sprayed, hood,trunk & grill decalled. I was going to use the standard wing but imo it looked a bit odd being silver against the c/f trunk - I might try to c/f the stock wing but I've run out of c/f decal atthe moment - I'll see how it goes. http://members.aol.com/jonesandy898/wrx4.jpg Thanks for looking HellsDRifteR 06-26-2005, 04:33 PM That WRX is lookin killer and im lovin the rims. I think it would be really sweet if u scratchbuilt a wing this one http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/10/web/850000-850999/850367_3_full.jpg oh yea btw am i crazy or does it look like you have some blue neons in that thing jk DukeMan 06-26-2005, 05:46 PM Looking sweet Andy, I must say that you have a very good eye for things that will look good together. Anxious to see this one done, I want more! Koenigferrari 06-26-2005, 06:05 PM Nice progress with the impreza. Looks good! robrex 06-26-2005, 06:30 PM Oh yeah baby!!!! I guess I'm a bit biased when it comes to Subaru's? Nice progress Andy! (I've got to get my real STi wheels painted black) Hustle_187 06-26-2005, 09:12 PM that looks real nice, what kit is this? primera man 06-27-2005, 05:27 AM Another top build on the way Andy Jones 06-27-2005, 02:32 PM that looks real nice, what kit is this?
