    Thanks for having me. It was such a privilege and honour to be able to do a walk around of the car.
    I don't know how many times I said "in the flesh". Give me the heads up next time so I know you're shooting a video. 😂
    Looking forward to the car's restoration journey. 👍

      You’re a natural…the vid was so good as it was unrehearsed…we got your actual first impressions! Appreciate you being so good about, even tho I sprung it on you. At least you dressed the part!!

    Wow you guys are living it so lucky loving it and I’m only halfway thru the vid. That vehicle is for real a gem. 🎉

      Yes, very privileged to have this iconic car in my garage and showcase it with fans.
      What you didn’t see was after we filmed this vid, we both sat down on a spare set of 90’s Recaro seats (not in a car) and just gazed at the 22B for an hour, just taking it all in!!
      Appreciate your support and looking for to delivering more 😊👊🏼

    you are a lucky man bud! one of the top jdm cars of all time! those sexy arse bbs rims have been resprayed for sure without a doubt! i used to have a wrc blue my00 wrx & a white v6 sti sedan before i changed camps to a evo 8mr 10yrs ago.....

      Yes, I think you’re right. I’ve noticed some paint imperfections that lead me to think the same about the wheels. I’m an early Evo fan, more like version 3 - great cars 👊🏼

    I'm impressed with the condition of those gorgeous 17 inch BBS rims. They look brand new! Also credit to whoever fitted those Falken tyres on the wheels for not scratching the paint on the outer edges. Unfortunately for me, everytime I've had new tyres fitted on my gold 16 inch STi rims the tyre place always seems to create new scratches on the outer edge of my rims.

      Trust me, I’m scared to let anyone touch them, even me!!! They’re too precious!!!

      @@wrxcult8266 I don't think BBS make those gold wheels anymore, so your set of wheels alone in perfect unmarked condition would be worth a fortune. I'd recommend fitting lock nuts on each wheel just to be safe so the wheels don't get stolen. P.S. on your previous video I placed a second comment with a link attached which you may find inspiring. Unfortunately, TH-cam did not automatically post this comment for everyone to view because it had a link attached and needs to be approved first by the channel owner.

      Probably going to remove them and replace with Speedlines …then they’ll go into an underground top secret bunker

    God they are beautiful. Would love to check it out, Ive only seen Subaru Australia's when it was at the Wynnum dealership. I'm happy with my GF8 though, have you registered it?
    Edit: I also want to say how good it is that someone who is clearly passionate about Subaru managed to get one. Will always be the dream. Well done mate, so happy for you

      22B came with gold rims. The Version 3 Type (my yellow GC8) came standard with black.
