I figured this was motorsports related as this is a purpose built car for stage rally. Mods, feel free to move this to a more appropriate forum if you see necessary...
My name is Aaron and I have been building a Production GT class rally car out of a 2001 RS for about a year and a half now at the time of this post. Its taken me this long because I don't have a lot of money, but do have some patience and am willing to work hard to make the transition from weekend rallycross guy to stage rally driver!
If you get a chance be sure to drop by my website DirtyImpreza.com - The Off-Road Impreza Community.
The ENTIRE build history prior to today can be found here.
DirtyImpreza Project RS (roof scoop install pending) - DirtyImpreza Forums
Here's just some highlights to bring you up to speed.
Totally Stock RS:

Stripped:
Motor pulled for donor for another working stock motor / transmission.
cage building begins:

Seam welding:

Cage completed:

Interior painted:

Roof Reskinned:

Other motor swapped in:

Repairs:

Group N Motor / Tranny Mounts:

Roof vent installed:

Vinyl graphics applied:

Rally it!

Well that's about it for now. There is still plenty to do to the car to get it completely stage ready, but ill try to keep this thread updated. You can always see the latest on the DirtyImpreza.com Project Rally RS here.
Thanks!
