Hey guys! Meet my Valentine, purchased two weeks ago. I plan on lightly restoring this as a daily cruiser/mile saver for my nice WRX.

So far I have:
ordered my Apple CarPlay back-up camera unit,
threw away the 3rd row which was ruined,
ordered a full carpet,
replaced my grille & all headlights with new clears on 3rd day I owned it and ordered LED NBS taillights,
Installed my own Wireless charger in the center console (I just took this out to paint console black with SEM, so I'll show you the before pic)

Pics attached, and will update when I do more!

Future:
Install new carpet and at the same time deep clean or replace the leather seats.
Replace all front suspension rubber.
Paint wheels black (clear coat peeling and I love the look of these OEM wheels)
Any possible drivetrain issues with 357k :)

Thanks! I love it. I bought it from the neighbor of the original owner.

All right everyone I secured and swapped my LED tail light on just the right side and although it lights up (and there is a resistor that I attached with the provided double-sided tape to the inside of the body.... ) I get hyperflash when I use the blinker.

I thought the resistor itself was supposed to stop that flash from happening. All connections and wires are solid.
