My M20b wagon is #TK0747 It is in perfect condition after two large restorations. And the car is NOT for sale. Only 105 M20b in total ever made, with perhaps 30 wagons. Edit: 7:00 - No. You couldn't just order some TK parts. TK were a car maker in their own right. And so they sold new cars, and they did not modify customer cars. There was a Base Option for every car model, and there were various options you could add, if you liked. After you selected your options, TK ordered a car from Subaru, with whatever special options you required, and then it was delivered to TK where they tore it apart, and added all their own stuff to it. For example, TK were expert engineers, and they recognised back in 1993 that the 5-speed gearbox was not strong enough, and so all M20Bs came with 2 specially-made TK braces that went all the way through the gearbox in 4 places, to hold it together. They also specified the low-ratio RA gearbox, so the cars couldn't exceed around 220kmh. But they accelerate like a stabbed weasel. Better Power to Weight ratio than a 2004 Aston Martin V8 vantage, with low gearing! :D
You could buy the wheels,front bumper,rear bumper,spoiler,seats from the subaru options catalogue . I have a few different option catalogues with them listed in. Very interesting reading 😊
I said on Facebook I might record the resto on my classic STi, you've given me the bug now. Where was that rear quarter from? Do you want to sell it if it doesn't get used? I need the lower section off the rear of that panel!
@ can explain in more detail what you’re trying to explain? We have put it back better than originally as Subaru spots welds from factory aren’t that great

Hello.. what's your take in transforming a 4 door gc8 to a coupé. Given that one has the two doors present . Possible or not!?
I said on Facebook I might record the resto on my classic STi, you've given me the bug now. Where was that rear quarter from? Do you want to sell it if it doesn't get used? I need the lower section off the rear of that panel!
Aha thank you! Definitely make some videos and let us know, and drop us a message on Facebook
Do you reckon its clean?
Hello. where can I buy this complete rear panel? I only know the eBay repair panels?
You wouldn’t want them if you want the panel to look legit, saves as much as you can from your original panel
Why you doing these,?
Doing what?
Removing all side panel, now you will have inner rast problem, on the welding spot
@@prec5552 no as the areas that get spot welded will be zinc coated so there’s plenty of protection
Yes, but this is too short Panel for spot welding
