    Finished up the car yesterday.

    Since I bought it 3 months ago I replaced 2 front axles, fixed the blower motor (A/C even works!), fixed the window regulator, cleaned the nasty interior, put a WRX shift knob on, installed a tachometer, swapped in WRX wagon springs and struts, added rear swaybar brackets, latlinks, and added a rear swaybar, installed a new turn signal bulb, replaced the trunk lock, added 2.5RS side skirts, added '98 RS goldies, adjusted the clutch, fixed the crunch in 4th with uncle scotty's cocktail, and changed all the fluids. Car handles and drives awesome now. It had been thoroughly neglected. Thanks to everyone who helped with parts. I hope to ice race it and rallyx it.

    Thing is it's the same color skeme. The upper part is a bit darker. I am looking at getting the DARK stuff, which is why, if you get mine, then I get dark stuff! hahahaa but you probably want dark stuff too. lolz

    If I found a deal like this, in a heartbeat.

    My plan right now however, is to wait till I leave the Corps, or get stationed somewhere with a climate similar to MN for a long period of time before buying another sooby. I will be purchasing a VERY new wrx, or an 04, 05 STI after a couple of years :)
