Project P1 - Restoring a 90's Classic Impreza

[@jdmking888]

You guys are living the dream iv got a 1992 mazda 323 gtr I restored over lockdown but engine blowing smoke now 🙈🙈🙈🙈 effing old cars man I cant help but love them

[@TE_53349]

Subaru P1. Super Rare, Super cool

[@andybtec]

Had an import wrx sti. Great car

[@MPowerSubie12]

This video is a real treat to watch, especially when you have a 2000 Subaru Impreza Coupe in your garage that’s mint and original.

[@ACCAW11]

As a Subaru enthusiast I am really looking forward to this series. I wish we got the more enthusiast oriented models in the states during the 90s. In 2018 I purchased new my STi Type RA and it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. Pretty much plan to keep it stock with mainly OEM+ STI parts added.

[@simonhartley2772]

The P1. The Legend itself! Owned one for 4 years going back 17 years ago I bought it. I look forward to following your restoration. I would love to own a P1 again now. Maybe, just maybe.....

[@thenon-vapingsubie]

KZbin algorithm has brought me here. Love the P1 bud! Im fixing my coupe to be a prodrive replica

[@joshuasimmonds9045]

I saw this on the rig last Wednesday as was bringing in a caravan for repair seeing all the JDM icons and being a big fan of these cars seeing this in person I was like a little kid in a sweet shop can’t wait to see it finished

[@mazhermohammed1256]

So much yes for the P1 and our boy Danny......but seriously who would leave this is a barn, whats the world coming too!

[@danbarruffo7743]

Cheers Iqy!

[@jonwebb9261]

Glad to see another GC8 saved and especially a P1!

[@thesillypig785]

A P1, that's some special car you got there.

[@john21percent]

Finally, someone who appreciates the unique gc8 chassis and especially the 2 door one!! As you said a true gem. New age imprezas are so boring and uninterested to me, even if they are better cars

[@vincentjones7800]

Seriously the old imprezas and wrxs had character and heart now it’s all about tech and less about driving experience

[@riichardw_9566]

Open up "pengepul mobil" mate he had a lot of gc8 and have 2 gc8 coupes

[@that_blobeye_sti]

@@Betelgeuse1991 obviously, it is the lightest out of them all by far

[@allangrant1326]

I’m a evo 6.5 guy & I’m excited to follow this build, has to be the best ever looking wrx

[@kw2519]

Wow….imagine finding that!? Jesus what a find

[@BlueberryWrap]

Brilliant structure to the video feels proper production not slapped together love it

[@michaelmccormick9469]

Always wanted a P1……. Great stuff!

[@SubaruVideosUK]

I see a P1 and I hit like! 😍 I was just a kid when my dad took me with him to test drive a P1. Sadly he bought a bugeye WRX which he still has today, but it certainly fuelled my for Subarus!

[@Chase_Schrader]

That’s a beautiful Subaru, looking forwards to watching the rebuild!

[@screwge84]

That looks like a hell of a lot of work but it’ll be so worth it! Thank you from every car enthusiast out there-not only for doing this-but for taking us on the journey 🙏🏻

[@Torque-GT]

Our pleasure!

[@garethdavies3175]

I clicked as swn as I saw Subaru and subscribed straight away. Going to enjoy this. 😉👍🏼

[@bonz424]

1st video I've seen. Love the intro.

[@beachamgroup2482]

Great to see another impreza saved. I am working my way through a cashmere sport special. No concourse car, just solid, patina workhorse for road rallying.

[@ZeeBri]

Loving this new direction

[@paulharrison3298]

Very much looking forward to the next instalment

[@liammckinney3345]

been there days with grinder with wire wheel. never again. done my p1 about 5 years ago still mint.

[@lengerer]

Picking up my first wrx, a 2012 club spec in black next week. Can’t wait

[@shona5512]

I clicked because I recognized the Torque GT name from when my brother picked up his Evo 9 from you guys and then got hooked with the production quality of the intro. Nice to see an automative company embracing KZbin to produce good quality, enjoyable content.. Rather than producing boring videos for the sake of showing their brand. Great stuff guys.

[@Midnight-Restorations]

Stumbled over here because of DriveTribe. Honestly, I'm not a fan of the car, but I love your no frills presentation. Channel has a good vibe, nice editing, and no goofy "cheapest xxxx" type of bull. Will stick around for the series 😊

[@okitsadam]

Omgomgomg. My favorite car. So glad I just stumbled upon this!

[@LostinWales]

My impreza looked immaculate underneath when I bought it! No rust that I could see until I removed that rubberised coating Subaru put on. Wow the amount of rust starting underneath the coating was unbelievable, I'm glad I done it when I did because given another year or 2 for the rust to spread my car would have been a goner. Good luck with the build

[@kiamaz254]

P1 content 😊😊 subbed!!

[@TheMat180]

Really enjoyed this video and looking forward to seeing how the build develops - brought back so many memories of my Impreza Turbo 2000 - nearly bankrupted me but what a drive!

[@tri140im9]

same with me！got turbo 2000 GC8 X-reg as well and it brings me so much happy when I miss it in my memories!

[@ChanoWilliams]

I really, really miss my 01 Impreza RS Coupe. Subbed for this rebuild!

[@MrWebsie]

You sir, have just hit me in the face with a sledge hammer! I love this car!

[@hdmk213]

Dan's a natural. Great to see some content from you guys - I'm keeping an eye on your store and dreaming

[@danbarruffo7743]

Who's this?

[@JoshD10]

Love this car. I’ll be here for every episode.

[@simonnorcliffe5877]

The subaru impreza is just freaking 👌 awesome 👌

[@tristangreen5695]

looking forward to this build. awesome find!!

[@insidedemonz1739]

Looking forward to keeping up with this series, it'll keep me on track for a very similiar restoration I'm doing myself. My dad's '96 WRX V-Limited sat in a barn for 10 years and after his passing I've decided to restore it in memory of him. Can't wait to see both mine and your classic fully restored. :)

[@arfanmahboob7273]

Nice what number v limited you got i am just getting mine back on road got a 96 v limited in 53c number 235 of 1000

[@TheFactoryJackson]

Great to see Dan back in front of a camera. Looking forward to the series.

[@ghost21501]

Making me miss my 06 WRX. It was a sad day when I sold it.

[@peterharrison4375]

Looking forward to following this build 😀 Good to see you infront of a camera again Dan, you have a natural ability for this 👍

[@johnrowell942]

Nice fine. Look forward to the rebuild.

[@JETX1990]

This will be fun to follow! Just started a restoration on an 01 rs coupe.

[@matthewwilliams1155]

This is what I needed 👍❤

[@azarath1013]

This looks great! I can't wait for more episodes- a proud owner of a 2003 Impreza WRX in Poland :-)

[@FernandoSosaIndustries]

Lovely, excited to watch this makeover !

[@levos2006]

Subscribed, can't wait to see this restored, timeless classic.

[@davepickard1371]

I bought one of the first P1s from Cross Country Motors in Witney in the year 2000 ie 21 years ago, not sure where this guy got information that the car he is to restore is 25 years old ! I took the P1 straight to Spain where I live and i still own it today.A fantastic car.

[@desb9639]

I was trying to work that out too, I was pretty sure they were a facelift model.

[@ericsmeulders]

Watching this from sunny Queensland Australia where you can neglect a car and drive it for 25 years and not have anything but small surface rust. I really respect all of the cold country car guys battling with having to deal with rebuilding everything all the time I don't know if I could do it.

[@69fastback97]

His comment from the mark on the drivers seat and his expressions 🤣

[@rsbharley4766]

Great video , Great looking car. Love Impreza's. Looking forward to the rebuild, thanks for sharing. Cheers

[@the72inc73]

Ah the memories of picking up my brand new 96 P plate Scoobie Turbo in Reddish Blue ( and before they got the STI or WRX badges)

[@andymurdoch1346]

I still own my 2002 STi Type UK Bugeye. Bought new from the dealer. It's SORN'd every winter and done 28K miles. Always thought it was better looking than a P1 and was the proper WR Blue. Still love driving it.

[@davecozzie1]

Stumbled upon your channel with this p1 video.. now I’m interested to see the restoration. Subbed

[@Torque-GT]

Thanks for the sub!

Can't wait to see how this comes along.

Dream car. There's a good condition '97 STI Type R for sale here in NZ for $92k. So they're still out of reach now that I'm 50, although the insurance company wouldn't laugh at me anymore, so there's that.

so tempted to buy a gc coupe and swap over my GD sti. Just dont have the heart to part out a fine car. Cant wait for these episodes pure candy!

[@ninjabob8170]

Front radiator support/crossmember, rear end of the outer sills, rear inner wheel arches, theres a few to start with..😂 Good luck with this, enjoyed rebuilding one a few years back. 👍🏻

[@stevepoo1762]

This brought back memories the GC8 is the best Impreza, loved my Impreza turbo 2000 was original when I bought it and that's the way I wanted it to stay, but its an enthusiasts car with enthusiasts money needed to keep it going. If I remember correctly it cost me more to keep on the road over 4 years I owned it than the original price I payed for it. In the end I realised I wanted to spend at least another 2k to get it where I wanted it to be, sold it for £1800 4 years ago :(

[@geoffwilson6975]

Owned a p1 Subaru for many years big mistake selling it you don't know what you had till you watch this program 👍👍👍

[@MrT_RainMan]

Try doing dry ice blasting in the engine, under body and suspension. You will be shocked at the results and what you will not need to replace.

[@beachamgroup2482]

Any further info on this process? Thanks

[@gabea.458]

I've recently seen dry ice cleaning machines being used for car restoration. It's pretty amazing what they can do for undercarriages and engines. It's not a cheap machine though. Obsessed Garage and AmmoNYC have some recent videos. Looking forward to the next one.

[@himmelhero]

tommyfyeah been putting out some videos of dry ice machines going to work if your into classic oem+ skylines worth a look

[@kimmyrask7368]

Looking forward to this series! But as a suggestion you should add episode numbers :)

[@andrewdrabble8939]

To just leave a Scooby in a barn is bad enough but when it's a rare beast like the P1 then it's just pure sacrilege

[@doggothedog7744]

I'm so jelly! I want one. Maybe just a 22b or just a gc8, maybe a gc wagon.

Wish my uncle had kept his P1 - that thing was an absolute beast but shame it was a bit abused by the previous owner.

So pleased I stumbled upon this. What do I know the guy off.

I did Supercar Megabuild on Nat Geo many moons ago?

just hope when i finally can afford to buy and keep a car like this , is not to late, or to expensive.

There is a bit of P1 in your corrosion.. I hope that will be a great car at the end!!

Looking forward to seeing this restoration as it unfolds. Makes me wanna go drive mine if it wasn’t so wet!

[@gabarit8530]

тачка в идеале можно сказать! вот если бы она у нас столько поездила)

[@nigeltrump6443]

Love the p1 but owning both a type R v5 limited imported gets my vote, no rust from salty British roads, luckily I bought 2 years ago before the price boom. These cars are amazing, get one guys as they will get out of price range for most in the next year

[@fyah2k5]

Definitely gonna be following this build. Missed my chance to have a eagle eye wrx, got a SG5 forester though. Automatic, yuck. But, I've loved Subaru ever since I first saw Colin McCrae in the 555 impreza. From that day, I've always loved the boxer rumble and handling. Finally got my hand on one. Can't wait to start earning more to really unlock the potential of this car. I'm definitely gonna love following this series. Let's get it.

[@kw2519]

This is why you don’t use POR15. This is why you deal with corrosion when it happens. I made this mistake on a mk1 rabbit, the rust worked it’s way back through. Had to do more work than if I had done it properly the first time.

[@streetdoggsi7259]

Really clean and clear video, thats a sub from me
