Subaru impreza turbo 1999, **** TV APPEARANCE ****, page 3 (18/07/2015)
Well, as i turned 21 yesterday i decided that two weeks before i would buy myself a impreza turbo and start to insure it from the 22nd.
when i picked it up the mods were:
1-after burner vortex exhaust system which has been heat wrapped.
2-induction kit
3-dump valves
4-samco hoses.
it has had alot of work done to it (belts changed etc)
thats all i know so far lol and not sure what the plans are at the moment, anyway heres the pics:
body work does need a little bit of tlc.

I'm surprised you didn't get the plastics sprayed while the rest of the car was being done.
