97 sti wagon project

Took on the wagon as a project to keep me busy during lockdown #1 however we are now in lockdown #3 and its only now im 95%
This car sat for the best part of 13 years, bushings worn, timing belt perished, calipers seized, clutch almost gone etc etc body tired dented and mutiple shades of white and black.

Mechanically tight and all issues addressed, body work repair and spray paint was carried out. Rust repairs done on one arch and rear window area. This took about 3 weeks but visually made a huge difference.

With mechanics and body work sorted and my head well and truely wrecked by this car I did consider throwing in the towel, luckily I didnt.
