[In-Progress] Impreza WRX(C) Sti V8

My new project is an Subaru Impreza Wrx (Wrc) Sti
Originally the Wrc 2002 model from tamiya but I will make it a street (race) version. Or more like a drifter :P
Color: Black I think, haven´t decided yet. Any suggestions?
Interior: Black and red or blue (if i´m going for interior :P )
Exterior: Gt-wing, new rims, SAS brake disc set and some other nice stuff.
And the coolest thing is that i´m (we?) gonna put in an v8 engine from an friend´s Mustang (creds to Fredrik :D)

Here it is, ready for priming, also the hood has been opened :D Had to remove the "enginge" from the chassis, did it with a Dremel, but I removed to much of parts that shouldn´t be removed so I have to do something about it :P
And the parts of the v8 engine ofcourse :D (the white parts if someone wonders ;))

Here it is primed, but I didn´t like the result so I´m gonna do it again.

Same as above but with the hood on.

Yupp 5.0L it is.. its gonna be alot of modification in the engine compartment so it will fit properly and look nice :P

I thought this thread was going to be about a Version 8 STi. ;)
