Love these cheaper realistic car builds keep at it brother love from brum too👊🏻
Love your professional aproach to your videos, a lot of these automotive you tubers can take note, no bs on this channel
Thank you, just like to keep it about the cars 👌🏼
Been subscribed since the start of the golf project mate, video structure always consistent man top channel
Classic subaru is the best project car you could have picked, always loved the classic imprezas
Really excited to get started
Now that's more like it. Fantastic cars if you can deal with the rust.
Hamza bro you're doing all my favourite cars as projects this channel is my go to now. You've took Ricky's number 1 spot for me
Oh yes... From a golf to a scooby... Good choice! Looking forward to this one.
This channel is just superb! Always enjoy the content.
Glad you're enjoying the content!
LETS GET MY GUY TO 100K! 🙏🏼
You’re living the dream bro!! Restoring and building these cars that are pretty much every petrol heads dream of owning and building! Love it!!
That beeping isn’t alarm immobiliser, it’s the Sony head unit 👍
You don’t understand how excited I am for this build! A car most 90’s kids will have grown up with, can’t wait to see you driving it around the local area!
Keep the front end how it is, as well as spoiler, looks mad
Nice barn find 👌🏾 do you have a link to where you bought the car tent ?
LOUi DC5 FL I have been looking for a nice sturdy one but they cost around £400 , heard the cheap ones are terrible , thanks for the link this looks good
New project car is here! Gonna be a different one for sure
My guy. The golf hasn't even cooled down yet
Good choice man
Call the scooby "Uma" cos why not
Carbon fibre bonnet and more would be mad ngl
Yh trust
Looking forward to this project..a good place for hand break turns, I would suggest Alum Rock road..lol..only kidding 😉
Maaaaate, this channel is gonna blow cos of that Subaru bruv - stay consistent Hamza bro!
👍👍👍 get some rally lamps on the front and terrorise the lanes at night. Front lit up like the starship enterprise and the rear lit up with flames 🔥
Check rear inner wings, sills, arches and rear floor for crust. Rust is the enemy, everything else is blood and knuckles. To do it properly is £££ and most are rotten here or going. Can be bodged but it don’t last.
Enticing not only the German but now also Japanese car enthusiasts to the community! I like your style man ✊
100% my favorite car TH-cam now, keep going with the constant high quality content man!
And love the fact none of your project cars are unachievable for us normal people! 😂
Thank you!
This channel is definitely going in the right direction, keep up the good work hamza, really enjoying these project car videos.
Omg hell yes yes yes I can't wait to see this good choice mate, I own a mk5 golf gti and I wish to own subaru impreza one day, injoy mate rally style lol
Haha perfect, both impreza and GTI content to come!
If you can get one but get one soon there going up in money now
Yes Hamza! Great choice of car as per usual! Straight to the point as well, no bs, no click bait title.. long live the channel 🤙🏻
Nice one for the support as always mate!👊🏼
Literally just finished watching your gti series and now you got another project car. You defo deserve more subs.
Getting there!
I comment the other day bro and say how much the channel is growing now! Now moving into a restoration job! Killing it! This thing will touch up nicely! 👍
Nice one bro 👊🏼 Gonna be a good learning experience for sure!
Yooooo Thats MAD... MY FAVE SHAPE SUBARU YK!! 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥 Bare childhood memories of Colin McRae Rally and a dream car for the future InshaAllah 💯💯
Yes mate looking forward to this build! Turbo 2000 is my daily, definitely would recommend changing the coolant piping to silicon ones... Stock ones can leak quite easily. Best of luck!
Nice! Definitely, learn with my GTI that hoses are the first thing that need to be replaced on these older cars, especially coolant! Will get them done asap.
yea stock water hoses crack super easy in those years
I owned this car from 2010 and sold it in 2017.
Best scooby I owned and was sad to see it go.
Nice to hear mate, I unfortunately had to get rid of it due to hidden rust. Would love to have a GC8 again in future but will probably pay extra for a tidier one. I did get sent a photo of it recently it’s still about
TR Hamza it was one of the most reliable cars I’ve ever owned and only got a grand for it but it’s such a shame how they are prone to lots of rust. It was mapped to around 280bhp but was hard getting through mot with the particular exhaust it had 😜
Where was the hidden rust if you don’t mind me asking?
Personally think the current alloys look good, a refurb and painting them gold maybe a better option 🤷🏻♂️
Wow nice, i just bought myself the same car yesterday, subaru impreza 2000 turbo AWD Uk spec, same colour as yours, same interior, was sitting in a driveway for 3 years and was supposed to go to the scrapper but managed to throw in some cash and get it towed home, managed to get it washed and started today looking much better, good luck with your project
These realistic builds are great mate. Never get bored with these videos. Bought from my hometown as well...keep it up mate.
Glad you approve mate
@@TRHamza definitely. I own a mk5 r32 at the moment and its the same colour as your mk5 gti and i used to own a uk impreza turbo in blue so these videos are bang on.👍
Great choice for the next project. 99 RON fuel, recent quality oil changed regularly, let it warm up before thrashing it, let it cool down when you've finished thrashing it. That was secret to the 80,000 I did in my 3. I had a Classic Wagon in Mica back in 2000, followed by a couple of Blobeyes. I see yours has Aircon which was a sought after on the Classic. Looking forward to your updates
Take care of your new toy...
...Mine is sitting around for some years, waiting for some better times to get it fully restored...
Cheers from Croatia!
This channel is killing it, loving this content. Affordable cars is the way to go
These are the type of builds NORMAL people like us want to watch. No one really wants to see a Ferrari 458 get a front end and some frame repair. People want to see something they can achieve, like your Golf build and now the Subaru. Thank you.
Building up that fleet! This will bring great content.. Good choice 👍🏻 your going to need a unit soon to keep em all in 😎
Nice one bro! You need to do a quick a little walkaround of your yard. There is some serious potential there for working on cars
I say this in the nicest possible way, you're vids are rough around the edges and they're not over produced etc, but I like the honesty and the golf was good and this is exactly the same, great cars , realistic to most viewers and enjoyable to watch, keep up this sort of content
Nice! Welcome to the Subaru lifestyle. Stock up on oil!
Stock up on oil... and piston rings... and head gaskets... and bearings :')
I would love to see you buy a skyline R34 you should add that to your car project collection! 😎🔥
Really enjoy your channel and the older more affordable cars for the working man 👊
So much fun to be had in the sub 5k market, loving it!
This is going to be absolute madness! One of my fav cars! Very surprising you picked up one of these, definitely looking forward to the restoration process! Keep it up my man.
Dark blue metallic is by far the best of the UK Turbo 2000 colours. Nice to see this getting some love.
Nice car for not much money😎
I noticed one of your invoices was from a “Formula one auto centre”. I used to take my 3 series BMW to my local formula one garage, until they cross threaded my sump bolt during a service, which nobody picked up on before I went to pick my car up. It wasn’t until a few days later I noticed oil under my car, luckily it happened before at a different garage, so as soon as I noticed there was oil under the car I knew exactly what they had done, so when I took it back I told them to check the sump bolt(while I was under the car too) and sure enough the muppet cross threaded the bolt and buggered my sump up. They did replace it with a new one, but at my expense in terms of time and re-arranging my days to be able to take the car in and have it repaired, took weeks for them to order it and get it to the garage aswell. I’m never taking my car to them again, even for tyres, they are not having another single penny from me!
If your car has been to one of their garages then I suggest you get the car fully checked over! I know you will but just saying. I wouldn’t trust them to fetch me a glass of water!
EDITED TO ADD. I checked the MOT history of that car and since 2006 it’s only failed one MOT, pretty impressive!
RIP Colin McRae! Nice motor, looking forward to seeing what you do 👍
That beep when you turn the ignition off is the sony radio mine does the same
Mate... What a car to do a project on. I can't wait to see whats in store for this STI lol.
Wicked job on golf! 👍👌 and with them in a small supply now and with not making natural vtec's anymore PLEASE make your next a 98-2002 honda accord type r project. #sicksoundvtec
Nooooo,are you going to still do some driving videos in the mk5 KO4 ? Was stocked wen you finish it but i hope you keep up with the mk5 doing bushes and videos of you hacking about in the mk5???
GTI isn’t going anywhere, this is in addition to it
Only 1750 ? Where I live everyone wants these things. That would easily be $10k. Here in the states
easily goes for 15k€ in germany
Guys what are you talking about here in greece these older models like the one in the video goes for 2-3k
@@thanasistsir2043 because in the States we never got these cool models (only the N/A 2.5RS) everyone would pay big bucks for a turbocharged/WRX swapped ones.
even if this one isnt a 2 door and say it wasnt boosted, price for one like that would be probably 11K/9K USD
its insane
am trying to get one from Japan and you cant find them anymore, they have become scarce especially the version 5 and 6
@@akatukstajapan 150000km so you are looking at 700000yen for a 99 wrx not a sti
Mashallah❤️ keep doing wat u doing loving the videos bro keep it up👍🏼
You bought all the right projects bro. Iv always wanted one of these burble scoobys. Ever since i was 10 playing gran turismo.
Great choice... Thanks for posting and looking forward to seeing the project develop......
Thank you, should be a good one hopefully!
I love how your restoring older cars!!its refreshing compared to seeing all of these new model cars.old school is the best school 💪🏽
Smashing buy there mate! Have one myself 2000 Turbo Wagon Blinding cars! Nice one fella! 😁
Great cars indeed 😉 Cant wait to get stuck in
Loved my turbo 2000 wagon, hated the rust.
You could literally sit and watch the back arches rust.
Love my mk5 gti dsg more though.
You can literally sit and watch the front arches rust😂😂😫
It’s gonna be a battle of what rusts quicker on this channel 😂
@@TRHamza love the channel too man👌and two projects has got to mean more uploads👍👍
Looking forward to the content as always😁😁
YES Hamza, definitely got some product differentiation in terms of your channel with the project cars! Im sure the sub count will grow accordingly!
dude, the channel hit a new high with this. Love these subarus!!!
I've heard some of the rally boys put on forester shocks as they are better for off-roading and use raising springs to add more height, could be worth a look
Bang on I saw this too, would make it into a proper cross country beast. Not sure if the body control would be good though 😂 Gonna read into it
Subaru flat 4 boxer engine - best sounding engine ever!
Subaru did a UK STI variant as I had one (blob eye) but not an early version like this, so I assume it's the earlier version Hamza is referring to?
Yes was referring to just the classic version 👍🏼
Keep it up bro...the golf project was good can't wait to see this one
Look forward to it 👍. Personally don't worry too much about the number of owners however sometimes the time they had it might indicate there might be an issue. The previous owner of my car kept it for only 6 months and a day after I bought it I noticed it had symptoms of a leaking injector.
The only channel I’ve came across that actually dose things to these project cars 😆
Haha gotta finish what I start 😉
Another great choice of motor, you legend!!! You're gonna have a sweet high performance fleet mate!!!
Thank you mate!
TR Hamza Love Love Love the way the channel is going forward more focus on restoring and tuning. Best project car channel on TH-cam Legend. 2019 your year!!!
Glad you like the channel direction! Plenty to come
I love scoobys omg
Ooo funny this pops up in my recomendations, the day after i bought a 2004 wrx wagon to restore :O Good luck with it mate, i cant wait to start on mine....Mod free :)
Thanks mate! Good luck to you also 👍🏼
Just discovered your channel mate, and I love it already. This build looks like it's going to be a lot of fun
The engine on that golf is super clean... gorgeous motor. Pimp that impreza up
God that thing is sexy. I'm so envious! In the US, we won't be able to import one of these for another 6 years still. A minty late model GC8 STi is my dream car. Best of luck with the restoration!
Nice Hamza, I think you’ve done well here. I don’t know anything about these cars but I look forward to seeing you work on it. More STI’s than my local clinic 🤪
Awesome car registered on my birthday lol! Sounds like the previous owners have intended to do it up but not bothered. Will be nice to see the build.
Cool! I just bought myself a Subaru STI WRX with EJ20 engine this spring its first gen so they stayed pretty much in Japan and where only brought to Europe for rally. I like the sound of these old boxers.
Keep it up bro. Looking forward to seeing you restore this! 🇯🇵
Can’t wait for the vids coming up !
You put a massive smile on my face by doing this. I've loved the Impreza from children because of that boxer rumble
Dunno why, but your vids havent shown in my timeline since the video when you stuck the boot lid spoiler on the m2. Top channel
Proper excited for this one! Welldone keep it up bro!
I've seen a few video's from this guy and I've liked them all , he seems like a real gentlemen .
Very kind of you, glad you enjoy the content
@@TRHamza your welcome champ, wish all the success with your channel.
Congrats on 60k but how did you get the Impreza so cheap? High miles?
Nice pickup brother. I don’t see any of those here in the states anymore. That beep you here is your Sony radio when you turn the car off..
Refreshing to see the way you going with the channel, supported you from day👏
Rust is a killer for any uk car and have I learnt my lesson. I’ve replaced all the nuts & bolts, subframe, suspension & suspension arms and had various bits of bodywork done, but for a P1 it’s worth it. Just make sure it has plenty of history, a 2000 scoob should have a bible of invoices if looked after correcty. Standard clutches are weak on modified cars. Accident damage isn’t uncommon on these cars too, check around for overspray & uneven panel gaps. Other than that for £1750, a bit of TLC and modding and you’ve got a weapon on your hands Hamz.
WRC loving this for next project 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 your whole approach & new set up is excellent your really moving.. excellent excellent.. shame have to wait !!👍🏻👍🏻😄😄😄
Great video from a new subscriber.
Get rid of them wheels and fit something bronze coloured .
Also check the turbo for play in the shaft and if needed rebuild it.
Also get yourself a compression tester and do a check on every cylinder.
Also these engine love spark plugs 1 degree cooler from standard
Good luck man been watching the channel since 15k its been an amazing road to see you improve from reviewing other peoples cars to now having you own project cars ❤️🦍
that looks sick can't lie
A bro in a scooby, I’ve never seen that before 😉
Awesome car for the price! I thibk it looks gorgeous mate, little lick of paint on that passenger side and your good. The wing is what makes a Subaru you cant get rid of it.🤣👍 looking forward to this one.
Love the raw video footage bro definitely better then some bigger youtubers keep it up I’m a sub👏👌
The beeping is the Sony headunit 😝
Bought my first gc8 at 18, my first impression of the engine was how complicated it all looked, until I swapped out the motor and found how easy it was to work on the car, am pretty much familiar with every hose and connection
Love the content bruv, my favourite subbie is the 22B. Keep up the content!
Looking forward to the rebuild! You've got a new subscriber.
Always wanted one of these....much prefer this model over the new ones....look forward to seeing what you will be doing to this.
Deffo njoyed the mk 5 gti content..👍
Now i can't wait for content on this, yes lad, congrats 🙌🙌
Nice choice 👍, good luck.
This Channel and Officially Gassed are by far the best Car Channels on TH-cam ! 😀
I had to subscribe I can't wait for this build ave always been a fan of the Impreza but could never afford the insurance. You should have it rally themed with a big turbo and dump valve/ blow off valve .
Love the golf! Looking forward to this new project 👌🏼
Another project 😁😁keep the front splitter and the big spoiler and get that’s scooby sounding more loud and aggressive😉😉
Sounds sweet! Can’t beat the old school cars 😍🏎💨
