Subaru GC8 WRX WE FIND HIDDEN DAMAGE! 

Pleeaase dont change the rear wing. The "STI" wing looks sooo much better than the standard pov spec wing.

When I worked at Subaru all the new cars on the lot had dents on the above the door handles just from people opening and closing the door Subarus have the thinnest door skins and bonnets

Damn, this just shows the magic of youtube. In the first video this car looked mint, and now when you show all the flaws close up you see the reality. I have a 99 GC8 STI V5, from 3 meter distance it also looks mint, but actually has dings all over it just like yours. Mine also has quite a bit of surface rust underneath, but nevertheless, I love it. But I wish I could have bought it couple years earlier, when prices were less than half of what I paid.

To get rid of the light flickering I can remember reading something about it to do with time zone in settings

Really enjoying your wrx progress, in august boght one too, its perfect condition, but sun damaged paint and dismounted engine. Lots of work, but ill be worth it. Btw keep it up your content is really cool.

Standard GC8 things, once you get them sorted and spend some time with it, you'll get what it's all about.

"Start fixing some shit"! I am loving it, get rid of that ridiculous rear wing. The low version you showed looked the business. Cheers, looking forward to the next video.

U love Ur plastic interior trims ay😂 love Ur attention to detail mindej.. geez the car looks so good in the workshop with the lighting

Awesome car bruv👍 too bad the previous owner didn't look after it, I'm sure you you can get it back to original just like the Evo & definitely looking forward to the WRX restoration....

Amber corners as far as I know are aftermarket only, the only amber ones were the USDM ones with the little orange reflector bit. As for the wing, tbh just buy one and find out whether you like it or not. Also the whiteline bits are a roll centre kit, because many subarus are monster trucks stock geometry gets fucky when you lower them.

I like Subaru but hate working on the motor, had a two forester xt good cars. Keen to see what you do to it mate, doing any work to the motor?

Nice GC8, got one myself the front and rear mould on the window on the top very expensive. Make sure you get OEM aftermarket don’t fit

Least you have the skills and contacts to fix this.. Makes for good content. Glad it's you not me trying to bring this thing back

Unfortunately the downsides of 20+ year old cars. Still a great car if you put in the effort. I love mine. Keep the vids coming 👍

If you're gonna get rid of the clear indicators and swap to amber then probs get rid of the JDM tail lights to keep the theme. Do one or the other. I personally prefer the clears.

Been waiting for this

Honestly i prefer this over a vl. As cool as they are everybody does the same mods to them. Rather see you replace parts than building something that has been done multiple times. Its only a matter of time until these cars skyrocket in price and those in good original condition are what is going to be worth big $$$ just like what has happened with the old holdens

Whats that board called? need to do the same for my s15

Wow I can’t believe how much is wrong with it and damaged considering how immaculate the previous owner said it was.

Such soft panels on all Subaru’s but still awesome
