I suppose it's about time I started a member journal. Snowball (as Nigel named her) is a 2000 Impreza RS Coupe

I bought her late summer of 2013, after a very bad round of Subaru withdrawals. In the short time I've owned here, I've given her nothing but the best, and all the love I can afford. Everything I've been able to has been upgraded, and the list seems to be growing just about weekly!

I'm sure there is more that I'm forgetting. Next on the list is a clutch to go with my new flywheel (can't decide what I want, or more importantly, what I DONT want)

I'm also shopping around for a Motor Mount/Trans Mount kit and gathering the rest of the parts for my swap :-)

I'll post a few pics, but honestly the car is cosmetically rough. I bought it knowing it needed some body work, and planned it out for early spring. I'm hoping that wasn't a bad choice, but we'll see how bad this winter is on it.

Did Snowball come installed with a flux capacitor? "Bought in late Summer of 13' ???

I always loved snowball. Lucky guy to be owning this gs.

 
I was thinking the same thing Brighton.... this beast comes from the FUTURE!  Awesome!  

In all seriousness though, this car looks pretty clean.  Enjoy!

 
Like the plasti-dipped badge idea! always loved snowball, I remember when 4wrxter owned her!

It's a PPG GM OEM color beleive it or not. I think its on a 07 Pickup. The blue wheels are PPG 04 GSXR Sonic Blue.
I have a buddy with a body-shop, so I trade labor for paint. I spent FARRRR too long sanding both sets of those to get that finish.

Thank you all again, I'm awful proud of the ol' girl.

Awesome I'll have to get some. I bought some wheel paint from napa and its already chipping off. Did you do anything special to get them look that nice?

 
I sure did. First of all, I spent 2+ Hours on each wheel sanding EVERYTHING. Then I cleaned with some prep-all, tack clothed them off, and sprayed down 2 sealer coats. Once that was dry, I laid down 3-4 coats of base coat, and 4 coats of clear. I used some pretty nice product on them, none of that quick clear stuff. I wanted them to look perfect, and they do. They were all painted in a vented booth, and I went a little overboard on the coats for 2 reasons. One, because we mixed too much paint. And 2, because they are wheels, and there is a ton of small areas that are easy to miss. If I can find another set of RS 6 Spokes, I'm going to do the next ones in a pearl white that I was given to do the car in. It's a pretty sick color, and I have WAYYYY more then enough to do the whole car, and the wheels.

 
Thinking of parting her out (Performance parts anyway) or selling her as she sits.  Anyone interested?  I just bought a FozzyXT
