More steel has been ordered... further strengthen and put in those finishing shell pieces. Where it will be painted while bare 
I'm not expecting a brilliant paint job but all 1 colour should be nice
Then it'll go back together for the final time and testing will begin.
After this we look at more power

Update of sorts
Well it'll soon be time to blow the dust off this thing and get it done
But first a little update. My little workshop shall be getting a spray booth stuck in soon now the workload has eased slightly. Not a massive one but sufficient to get Nissanubaru sprayed in the chosen colour
That said there's also a matching motorbike being built in a similar manner and design. Which should look somewhat awesome
But my first task is to get a disassembled car over to said unit but we've got plans made up
So in the next few weeks.. and over the jolly period this project should finally get back on track in the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned

Little setback. Whilst being stored in my garden all that time the rust has gotten to those parts that were unprotected. Instead of wasting time I'm cutting it out and replacing it.
At the same time I'll be making
-Custom hydraulic pedal box
- Custom floor pan with seat rails
-New chassis arm going longitudinally down the car to 1) be stronger than OEM and 2) properly house the subaru wishbone's rear bushes
This'll also include new pipe mounts (brake and fuel)
-Hydraulic and cable handbrake mounts
-Mid mounted battery pan
-A small storage space (gotta be a little practical
If I make my mind up on the rear seat bench then the following will happen
-Tie in seat bench chassis arm to new longer rails
-Remove curved bottom
-Create fuel tank mounts for impreza tank
-Remove wheel well
-Create rear radiator mounts
-Remake pushrod suspension anchor point higher up
-move rear sub frame higher into the shell to suit the final look
