Time for a new project because I have zero time and no money! Here is my sad little example of a 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STI. High mileage and very neglected Hawkeye STI in need of major TLC. I

That thing is mint idk what your talking about. My 2013 STI limited has its front bumper in two giant rips, the paint has faded, the body has tons of scratches and wear. Your example is miles better than mine. And get this. My 10 year old car has 65k on the body.

I may have been slightly over dramatic!

Slightly is an understatement for the vocabulary used in this video. Things got 0 rust

I love that "65k on the body means that its on its second motor already

How is your paint faded? Mine is the silver and it's 2005, it's got 200,000K on it and the paint is chipped but not faded at all

Thank you for the videos. I vote you keep it and restore it. Can't wait to watch this series too. Good luck.

That looks clean asf for being an 06!! Surprised those Subarus don’t have rust yet I owned an 04 F150 after I got out of HS in 2017 up to 2021, my old truck had rust more of on the bottom sides. Very nice looking car! Love seeing some of those on the roads

Those black Perrin wing supports are fundamental. That wing is known for flopping and vibrating during highway driving.

Keep it! And just fix things overtime

Yes!

@Kolenment 4 ай бұрын

I'd take that over mine any day. I can't fix the rust unless I drop $5000+ to get it cut and welded.

That Subie was VERY far from needing to be brought back from automotive oblivion!.... That bit was a little melodramatic That is very clean for an '06 and is in better shape than most cars that are 10yrs younger. Excellent find!

Neglected, yes. OTHERWISE, it's good. I'd say keep it. Remove all the crap aftermarket parts. Go full oem. No rust is a great start.

@RoadPatina If you have tools or a garage jack/hoist (amazon) drop everything, power hose/degrease it, and source oem replacement parts. Even stock turbo. Restore its natural driving form. No rust, you'll increase value, appreciate it a lot more, and won't forget why you bought it. Looks like you now know where that rust came from. Looked like a dent/scratch with fender. Can always have body shop repair oem fender. Won't be much since it's off car. Value here is oem Vin sticker. You're really not too far off other than lots of tlc.
