Subaru Impreza GD Rust Repair

Subaru Impreza GD Rust Repair

We recently had in the workshop, a 2005 Subaru Impreza STI. These cars are becoming increasingly rare, and judging by the corrosion repair we have to do on this car, Rust is probably the number one cause of them disappearing. Certainly worth saving, and no easy job to do properly when you consider the complexity of the work required.

As you can see here inside the sill it requires a repair to the inner, outer and must join in with the centre reinforcement

We’ll be seeing this car again to do the other side, in the meantime the owner is very pleased with the works so far.
