The pictures do the body too much justice; in person you can see the bumps and cracks on most of the GRP. I can see why the body guys wanted me to come and see the car in person.
New USDM STi gauges...Will need some custom fabrication to fit them as they're taller than the older ones
Passenger side glass is fitting well
Driver side glass not fitting so well...but the door and seal is worlds better than the last time I saw the car!
The trunk is a little bumpy and has some seems, but it's not terrible.
Under the front of the bonnet...probably going to put in new/bigger hinges. Also, rewiring needed in order to not blow fuses...
The rear window shattered coming out (was the first time in seven years this happened for the glass guy), but it needed adjusting and had leaky seals anyways.
The right side of the bonnet after adjusting--because of the big gap, it will probably need some custom GRP work, but that will allow us to get rid of the latch and the side light, thus cleaning up the looks (the latches will be replaced with some guide poles and a bearclaw latch)
Finally, with the new components, the blinker switch is finally on the correct side!
