This Looks amazing. I’d love to do the WRC kit to my GD but it’s too clean. Can’t wait to see how this turns out

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

I hear that buddy, This was very cringe to cut into. It is absolutely rust inside and out. But I guess makes for a worthy car to put time into

[@CompressorSurge]

@@TheSubieSanctuary definitely. I still think this one has also been saved. 🍻

[@TheJMPenney]

Awesome work as always!

[@sinfulldoubt]

Do you happen to know how much wider this is than the stock body?

[@mattywots]

Hey I have a quick question. first off awesome to see this kit and nice job pointing out the good and bad on the kit. When it comes to the actual body of these rusty old subies. Once you cut and weld new metal in or grind off rust. What product do you find most effective at preventing the rust from coming back? Im working on my 02 wrx and have watched a million rust converter videos etc and was more curious to what you guys see work best from you experience for paint, primer and under coat etc LOVE THE CHANNEL!!!!!!

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Thanks buddy! Most effective coating after rust repair or grinding off rust is a 2 part epoxy primer. We use CRE by PPG, it can actually be painted on with a brush or roller and comes in black, white and grey. Love this stuff

Damn, that’s going to be quite the build when complete. What’s the over/under on the number of total hours? 😀

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Good question, i feel collectively between all shops and each of their time they’ll spend doing each aspect, body, cage, motor. Im guessing 500hrs overall

This body kit looks great. I'm not usually a fan of chopping up these cars, but i suppose it could be redone.

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Ya it was very cringey for me cutting this especially considering it was probably one of the cleanest shells I’ve encountered. The bright side though is he is actually going to use it for rally. So its for a good cause in the end
