Rally Wagon Project - Melted Parts are removed/replaced

2003 WRX Wagon a.k.a. "BURNSIE":   Meet the 2003 Rally Car for the Subie Gal Racing team

These photos were added 1/25/03: My pal Mike and I decided to start right away on this project by swapping the major body bits thus making the car "street legal" and licensable as far as the dept of transportation is concerned. 

Amazing how much room there is in this car! I brought home 2 complete bumper faces, new head and tail lights  -  with room to spare.  Mike and I swapped out the door handles, the front and rear bumper faces as well as the rear tail light. The car's good to roll now and merely needs the trim bits and 1/2 a roof rack to make it "good as new" - "Burnsie" as I've named him, will be restored bit by bit, but this is a good start, and enough to get a rebuilt title on the car!

Next step is to get it registered w/the state of WA and then begin rally-fy-ing him!
