Well I picked this 96 Subaru Impreza up for a DD and it was in bad shape. Wires showing on the tires, interior painted a funky green color, carpet stripped out, seats ripped to shreds and the trunk was completely stripped out except for a wore out spare tire. It came primer grey and has some sort of a body kit on it. With that said, it has a very strong running engine and a clean sounding header back OBX-R exhaust. I am going to enjoy kinda of putting this car back together and try my best to make it a clean ride.

I know I'll add more later but thats all I can think of currently. Well knowing all that, here are a few pictures of how it currently sits.
If you have any suggestions or tips feel free to share them with me. I am not trying to make this car a show car by any means, that would require lots of money and besides this car would not be worth it. I am simply trying to make it a clean looking older model Subaru Impreza. Thanks for looking at my page.
