Well I saved it from the scrappers but I think it's probably more than I'll end up wanting to tackle, plus other projects that need attention first, would anyone be interested in it?

Spotted this guy on craigslist about 2 hours away, went out last night and it ended up coming home with me. Not sure what I plan on doing with it, it's got a lot of cancer around the rockers. Runs and drives but the fuel tank rusted so it has a bad gas leak. I'll have to get it in the air and see if it can be patched or if I'll have to try and find a replacement. Not sure if I want to hold onto it and work on fixing it up some or flip it and try to find a good home for it. I'll grab more pictures after work, this was all I got on the way home before I ran out of light. It's got just over 100K miles, just rolled over.

Alright, after a few delays and ordering more parts, finished everything up this afternoon.

Stock neon wheels are a 40mm offset, should be pretty close to Impreza wheels if memory serves. I have a set of Forester wheels with some General Grabbers AT2s that I want to put on but I don't think they will fit without a lift kit. I'm going to try and dig them out as well. Edit: Maybe not, reading around shows they are maybe 53mm or 55mm, somewhere around that area.

Alright, here they are installed on the front wheels with some 15" wheels I had from my Neon laying around. I'll probably do the rears this weekend now that I know everything seems to fit well and I don't have any rubbing issues.

Waiting on a set of new lugnuts to come in before I can finish things up and get her back on the ground. One thing I found while installing them on my Brat is that the bolts holding the adapter to the hub were hitting the wear indicator on my brake pads. Probably just because of the design of whatever pad is currently on there. Looking at your pictures it wasn't an issue for you. I just chopped them off because I have plenty of pad and have the wheels off enough to keep an eye on them. Just something for people to look for before tearing down the road and getting some weird noises or damaging anything.

Got mine in and they look really good. I've got the studs pressed in, which was no real issue, now I just need to find the time to get them mounted.

Mind linking to them? I'm getting ready to install one myself.

Something I've always wanted to do, but where do you even go about getting something like that?

I like where this is going, being very tempted to try and fix my dash after seeing your attempt so far.

Sorry, forgot that part. Nah, I've taken it on and off, gone on road trips, I've never really seen a noticeable drop in MPG or anything.

Yeah, I went out the other night and flipped them on and there was no real reflection I could notice. It's a Yakima Megawarrior rack, I was originally looking for a Loadwarrior but I found a really good deal on craigslist for this one.

Not really, I've never even noticed it before, there isn't any bad glare or anything.
