Conversion of MY00 wrx to a 99 gx wagon - Perth-WRX.com

This happened to my 2000 limited wrx

Then this chassis found me thanks to the forum

The conversion is underway to turn this gx wagon into to a 99 limited wrx wagon

I've decided on the sleeper look for it because it seems to be the ultimate sleeper :P

If anyone has any questions about the build or if you need help if you ever have to do something similar PM me and ill be glad to help

Cheers Damien

Cleaned it all up

took off all doors, striped everything out of the boot/interior and exterior of the car

now we should be dropping all the running gear out of the underneath of the car tomorrow

will keep you posted

Cheers Damien

Gee you work quick. Good to see people who are proactive and getting stuck into what needs to be done. Looking forward to following this build. Got a good start point anyways. Goodluck mate and keep the updates coming.

Good luck with it Damien. Be good to see the old wagon going. As I have said before, yell out if you need any help.

One thing I forgot to mention to you, your back seat wont fit. Base will I think, just the backs wont as sedan and wagon are different. If you have the tops of the wagon back seats, you could see if you could get them trimmed to match the rest. That would look unreal...

you should take the green basher upto the pines for one last squirt, you know, make sure the engine & driveline is okay before the transplant
