sounds like a cool project..while the bugeye may never hold a candle to a GC..it definetly goes up a notch with the introduction of the new Impreza..quite possibly one of the gayest looking cars, ever.

This is great. It's about time somebody builds a bugeye. I'm with the others on the whoel trans issue. I've got 86k on my stock clutch and trans, and I do rally-x and whatnot all the time. The car gets driven hard, but it also gets proper maintenance. Take care of it and it'll take care of you. I can't wait to see pics!

Hey guys,

Our new Web Sales Dude will be taking over this project, you will see all the updates and progress very soon.

To clear some things up this build is on a budjet so it will not be an all out time atack car. It will be a fun, quick, reliable daily driver that will pass all emision testing. Part of the budget is going into "refreshing" both the interior and exterior.

If you have any questions feel free to ask myself or Ken (PERRIN_KEN)

THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK GUYS!

John,
Thanks for the intro. Let me fist start off by saying hi to those that have been awaiting this build. After driving the car for the last couple of day I have found it to be a very solid vehicle. In some aspects I like it even more then the newer TR WRX I had.

The first thing that we needed to do was give it a bath (I’ll be posting pics a little later of the clean up and selection process).

I look forward to starting this project, and if anyone has questions feel free to contact me at anytime.

Best,

Ken

Do people know you can subscribe to a thread under the 'Thread Tools' button at the top of every thread?!?! I keep waiting for updates and all I get are notifications with 'subscribed'.

Rant over.

Have a nice day.

come on guys, we have been waiting for results for so long now.. and you just show us what you did to clean the car to hold us over... we need to see more, all of you guys at perrin are lagging. it seems like you all are more interested in your 2008 project car. (im not saying its not cool... it is!!) but we have been waiting patiently and all we have seen is the interior out of the car.. maybe you can speed up the process a bit for us nasiocers.

thanks
chris
ps.. i love perrin, i dont want to dis you guys in any way. you just need to step it up a notch.
