Got the engine's swapped, ended up putting a clutch kit in too, I poached some bits and found a buyer...the tech who did the engine swap! I want to remove the old Impreza decal from the trunk lid (the one that's there is illegible) and put on the new one I bought. I also want to try and do some touch up work on the paint this summer and get some new floor mats. I've already replaced the really crummy radio that was in it too. :)

I've never had a car with a working AC unit in it before...Wow! New impreza runs as well as the old one and I'm not getting profiled and pulled over every few months, for no particlar reason than driving a beat up looking car. Got to get those floor mats soon!

I know exactly why I was pulled over, Go Devil was a rolling dent factory and in primer grey, the only white left was on the roof and on a replacement trunk lid I found on Cragislist!
For the first year it smoked when the oil dripped on the drive line, and the front bumper looked like it could fall off at any moment. I know that as soon as a cop saw my car he thought for sure he had an easy citation for no insurance, unfortunatly for his quota I am a fanatic about keeping any cars I own insured. They always look surprised when they find an older woman behind the wheel, and my papers in perfect order. :lol:
