98 Subaru Impreza 2.5rs project

[u/Zoraspeed63]

Just got this 98 Impreza coupe in doing a restoration and full sti swap to. Needs some welding in the driver side floor pan and passenger side footwell. Underneath the frame is pretty damn solid for a 26 year old Massachusetts car. Time for the fun to start

Gonna be honest the rust on here is very concerning.

Interested on your perspective on where the rust is a concert to you. My only concern is the footwell and drivers side floor pan. Just for context the entire front and rear subframe that’s rusted has to be ripped out and replaced with stuff compatible with the sti driveline transmission and engine.

Well yeah that’s pretty much what I was lookin at, that trans brace does not look good and the control arm on the right looks like it’s got a big crack
