Update, sorta.

The paint still needs to be fixed.

Replaced a wheel bearing, both wheels fixed.

Been a pretty wet winder here, she hasn't been used much since the STi engine was rebuilt.

Hope I can scrape some coins together to get some seat time, been a long time since she was dríven in anger.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Gratuitous bump, the SE will probably be in storage for the next 4 years while I live in the Kimberley.

Hi Okibi,
Have you been a bit ill, you mentioned in the other thread?
The Kimberleys? Job or lifestyle change?

Bump.

Yeah work and lifestyle change, doing over 200kms driving a day but a mix between highway and cattle station roads.

Still working in the Kimberley but living 1,500 kms away in the Pilbara, going to pull it out of storage in Perth and bring it up here.
