Frayz's 550bhp+ Prodrive edition Impreza build...

[frayz]

Doing it just for giggles.

I'm a massive WRC fan, always loved the S7/8 cars from the 2001/2002 era so why not build one.
Totally and completely unique in its design and setup.
I want a 911 but I'm not finished with this yet.

Absolutely. the '01 season was incredible, sadly I never got to go to the WRC back then, just had to watch it on the telly instead. I really did miss the golden era of the WRC.

Such a great shame that the two men responsible for making that season so great are no longer with us. :weary:

OSR tub complete and her qtr panel now being tacked in for the final time.
All panel gaps and snagging will be dressed and set before final prep and paint.
She edges closer to getting on the spit

 

[frayz]

Couple of extra shots of the qtr panel now stitched in.

So much bloody work.

Is it just a fill in job mate?

Not a fill in job. However when genuine active competition cars come in for repair then they take priority as they will be due out on stage.
So in those cases mine has to wait and I respect that.

I was thinking more along the lines of your anti roll bars. 😂

MOAR!!!!!!

99% of the metal fabrication done now on her rear flares and tubs. Next job will be snagging and rear bumper alignment before laying up the rear doors.

 

[NorthloopCup]

Have you any rough ideas on the overall weight of the car when it's fully built?

Hoping for approx 1250kg

 

[Cliotoby]

Jesus. What a car.

 

[JonC219]

I like how there's a running machine in the background...
Don't let him leave til the cars finished, but still needs his exercise haha

 

[frayz]

Cheeky mock up using an S9 rear door looks promising.
Daves now got the painstaking task of making the rear doors flares & returns from scratch, good job he's not bad at the metal lark.
Can't use the doors he already made as the S9 onwards used wagon rear doors with a higher latched strike pin. This allowed for larger wheel clearance when the rear wheels were bought even further forward on the S9 onwards. As it is the S7/8 brings them further 15mm to standard.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

I love this its just a shame I don't think I'll be alive by the time its finished lol

 

[frayz]

There's over 600 man hours in a world car shell. These things do not happen over night.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

I know that, well I didn't know it was that but you get my gist! I as much as you want to see it finished lol.

 

[Mr R.]

I guess we haven't had any updates because your out road testing it? [emoji6]


Come on man, anything more been done to the beast? [emoji41]

 

[DH_GTI]

Any updates ? Want to see this finished

 

[McGherkin]

Frayz, change your avatar

 

[Mr R.]

I'll send him a WhatsApp message I think.

 

[Craig]

Lol I thought it was an update.

 

[Heez]

Many disappoints.

 

[Mr R.]

Any progress mate?

 

[Matt e]

he hasnt been online since august

 

[Mr R.]

Almost a year ago, how's it coming along?

 

[Jekyll]

I was thinking the same earlier on.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Hope it's not a case of ambition, then looking back at the car with a beer and thinking "I didn't think this through" :smiley:
Was such a sorted car even to start with!

 

[Craig]

Wasn't he getting married or something?. He may be on a looooong holiday. Hopefully he's still building it. Be a shame to stop

 

[Mr R.]

He is married and I hear through the grape vine that he now owns a green Porsche GT4?

Yes mate it was a beast, 550hp and bags of torque. It was an epic road car, problem is now it maybe has gone to far as a road car and it would also be a bloody expensive one too.

 

[Dom_capper]

Any updates on this mate?

 

[Matt Cup]

Seems to have sold it and got a Cayman R according to PH

 

[Craig]

After all that well that was going into it. Shame that.

 

[Matt Cup]

I know would have liked to see the finished product too.
