Cool?

I think those door cards are tacky.

Can't stand one thing though, just cause it's got all STi this does not make it an STi still right? I hate fanboys of that.

Car seems to be a great project that was put together well.

Lots of work there. I can definitely respect that. Definitely not my style.

I think version 1 and 2 of that car were tacky as hell. I'm curious to see how it turns out when he's done again.

I don't like the big scoop on that hood. Would have been cooler to use one of the newer ones or a bug eye scoop. The 04 scoop really only looks good on that body style.

Don't like the tail gate/tail light treatment.

Not a huge fan of WRB on that car for some reason and the door cards/interior stuff is odd but I can see where he's hoping to go.

The first set up... buy stuff that fits or make it fit. Going wide right in to your struts is stupid.

Seems to be heading in the right direction though. Be cool to see it with some fender mods to fit some big tires and drop it down on some real suspension.

Could be pretty damn cool though.

Not the biggest fan. It's still painful to the eyes, even though he does have a lot of work into it. I bet it will be fun to drive though once it's done.

Yeah the color choices and stenciling are tacky but everything else looks awesome.

Even though I cant fathom dumping that much money into a Legacy wagon, thats some great work and dedication. I didnt bother reading where he worked but Im guessing he owns a body or repair shop?!

2 thumbs up for a functional car.

agreed on the color, scoop, and suspension. i imagine the scoop will go once the v-mount is on though? also, just because you can paint every minor part wrb or wrinkle red doesn't mean you should.

it is odd to see him going "***** to the wall" on some parts and seemingly skimping on others. did i miss something or does he seriously not have a tachometer?

that being said, it's a sick build. definitely appreciate all the documentation to geek out on all the work he's put into it.
