Now to make it ours. A tidy up and turn the color to what the family wonts. Here goes.

Hey Toonga, the plans are to make it all show , and no go.

Dress her up , but keep it still good on fuel with the 1800. One main reason for this is, we have two good spare engines.

Hey Mate,

Well it is going to be blue , but , the rest you will find out at the end of the week.

Last coats of undercoat went on today. If all goes to plan, sanding back all tomorrow ready to lay the color down towards the end of the week.

Looks great!

I love your work with the paint job. I one day hope to have the skills and patience to do the same many times over (just not on the same vehicle)

Cheers

Bennie

It looks that way but don't think it's just a US colour scheme. I've seen the 2 tone 'Outback look' on the GF Impreza before. Was a red and gold one just down the road from the workshop for many years.
