Here is the last project from my dad. It was a Subaru Impreza WRC 2001 G.B. kit (24250)
Suspention is lowered
The roof is removed and the roadster part is from a Revell Mustang modifed.
The rims are from Tamiya Porsche Boxter Special Edition and painted with Duplicolor Chrome
Custom exhaust pipe
The paint of the car is Nissan Sunset Leman automotive paint (special mixed with bit more metalic)
Lot of putty and sanding work and here is the result:
Comments are more than welcome.. enjoy !

Nice concept and execution.
The only thing I would have done (since he did fill in the rear door panels) is rescribe the back edge of the front doors. On a two-door, your edges would curve outwards like this "(" instead of like they are ")". Not sure if that makes sense.
In reality, the doors would actually be longer as well, but that is a pain in the butt to deal with, as you would need to modify the interior door panels, which is not the easiest thing to do, as modern door panels are pretty complex in their curves and such.
Anyway, not to say it doesn't look good, because it does. Nice choice of color as well and good job of taking photos.

By far one of the best "customs" I've seen! I love it! The color and decals I could live without, but the model is genious!

Great work from your dad.
But the inter-cooler is a little too high isn't it?

Amazing skill and talent- but I don't really like the idea of an Impreza convertible- but 10/10 for imagination :D

:eek: Nice idea and love the end result except for the decals, imo it would have looked better in the base colour. Conversions like this are a breath of fresh air keep it up :)
