More updates!




Before



After, really happy with how the wing came out. Good as new



painted all the interior plastics, too many scratches/fading on them before





The interior as it sits now, not perfect but a whole lot better than when i picked it up

Got a good deal on a set of evo x BBS'. wasn't sure at first but as soon as they were on the car I loved them. Tonnes better than the stock wheels




They were silver originally, had them resprayed gloss black.



Not a bad look



Obligatory car wash pics



Testing out my camera phone. New wallpaper for sure.

Thanks for the support guys. She still has a way to go 👍
Took the car for a local car meet. A few pics from the weekend below.

As of now the engine and gearbox are out of the car for cleaning and mainly to service the gearbox ( it was a mess. I'll have pics in the next update.


At a car meet next to a voltex widebody evo 9. I know, kenyan number plates are an eye sore.
Another one from the meet , evo 9 gt, voltex evo 9 rs
A friends sti type uk.
More evo friends
Should be getting the rectangle plate bracket soon and a Ralliart front lip.
