A faster grocery getter - 04 WRX Wagon

Chargespeed fenders showed up. Here's everything mocked up:




That's it for a little while. I'm getting keys to a new place this evening, so it'll be a little hectic getting moved in and settled before anything happens to the car again.

One more photo for good measure:


This car sat at about 5.5 feet wide in stock form. I'm now just a hair over 6 feet wide.

The rear overfenders are L'aunsport widebody GG fenders, fit over the stock fender, which was cut, split and welded to create a new wheel well.

Side skirts next. Anyone have any suggestions? My kaminaris didn't fit with the rear fenders.

I'd say go with Chargespeed side skirts.

Got the car parked and settled at the new house. I picked up some wheel dollies so I could move it around without pushing it up and down the damn driveway.

I borrowed a friend's wheels yesterday to do a mock up. They're 19x10. I think after seeing this, I'll go with 19x11s and make up any difference with a spacer if necessary.

Just a quick update -
I'm still alive, and slowly putting thought and time into this project.
On the parts front, I sold the coilovers the car was on. That money will go towards the new air cupped set.
I also finally found a reasonable deal on an ECU/immobilizer with keys/full wiring harness out of an 06 STI. That stuff will sit in the box it came in for quite a while.

Otherwise, almost a year in, I'm feeling myself starting to sputter a little bit. When I read back through the posts, I can see I've accomplished a lot on the car so far. It doesn't always feel that way, though.

I've been spending the past few days focusing on doing some serious organization of all of the parts I have all over the place.
I got a new (big) box for all of my tools, so getting that set up should be helpful. Hopefully I'll be organized and refreshed to hit this project hard in the new year. Hopefully some photos this week for you guys.
