buy some good wheel cleaner cause those wheels are f**k to clean properly
Spend the first lot of cash on new fuel filter, air filter, plugs, leads, new coolant, radiator hoses, tranny fluid, diff oil.
Buy headlight covers, it seems to save them from yellowing as quick
If you cant afford a new exhaust, then take it to an exhaust place and get them to chop out one or two mufflers and weld in straight pipe in place cause the 3 standard mufflers are overkill

Dunno Super Cheap i guess for the headlight covers.
And when i had those wheels, i removed the dust cover from behind them so the wheels didnt look like hubcaps so much |

Remove each wheel and jam a couple screwdrivers under the dust cover from behind the wheel, and rip it out with some pliers. They make a good frisbee  |

That is what happens when they fit WRX running gear in a family car from the factory, want to put a 1500+kg caravan on the back and travel around Oz |

If you're a picky d**k, like I, then you can take off your wheels and remove the faded brake dust covers.
Why take belt cover off? Looks so much tidy under the bonnet with it on. |

where the bolt is to hold on the belt cover well thats broken.
i took out my spare tire out an had a go at taking the brake dust cover off but it just wouldnt come off.
when i work out how to get it off il do each wheel. |
