2004 WRX STI "Restoration" Project
Our 2004 Subaru WRX STI restoration project was a true test of patience and skill. Our entire team has their hard work in this machine and we couldn't be more proud. This was a passion project that took nearly three and a half years to complete. I purchased this car about 4 months after my blue STI, nearly 11 years ago. It was a rolling shell with no drivetrain, and my plans were to build it nut and bolt as a replacement for my blue car. Life happens and the attachment grew t

Chasing a childhood dream - Drew's E36
Since I was a teenager, the E30, E36 and E46 chassis has always had a special place in my heart. Timing and pricing never seemed to line up over the years, especially after the car market skyrocket increase during COVID. In January of 2025 this car popped up on auction and it checked all the boxes for me. Sedan, manual transmission and a black interior had me sold. I purchased it from IAA salvage auction, shipped it down to Windsor and started collecting parts. The car sat on

Matt's EJ207 Bugeye Wagon
This was the largest client project we have taken on from a mechanical aspect. Matt is a longtime customer of ours and approached us with the idea of swapping his beloved bugeye wagon. These cars are becoming so rare and we were all in for this project. We got right into things. Game plan was doctored up as Matt wanted to change some other things on the car while we were doing the swap. Donor car was a previously swapped 2005 Impreza. We got to removing his old drivetrain and

2009 WRX Hatchback - Former Track Weapon
Our 2009 WRX hatchback has had an interesting life. From being a daily driver to a full blown track weapon - then back to a street car, this vehicle has been put through the paces. We purchased the car in 2021 from a wholesale charity auction. It came across our laps and we did some background research on the car and found out it was built by Touge Tuning in Toronto and ran in the Canadian Sports Compact Series for many years. We decided to bid on the car, won it and shipped

The "2002" Project
Where do we begin with this project! What started as a pipe dream has become our most recognized build to come out of our shop. Igor purchased the BMW 2002 sitting in a field 10+ years ago. The car sat until a few years ago when we talked about bringing it back to life. Ideas were tossed around from JZ to LS drivetrains and whether the car would get a ground up restoration or not. Being a Subaru shop, we came up with the idea to swap the car with a Subaru heart. We began look

Coast to Coast - Our Shop STI
Started 10 years ago right here at the shop with our team, this STI has been across the country and back as a rolling shell. We got the opportunity to purchase it and finish what was started. Laying down 534WHP and 436TQ, this monster is an experience to look at and drive. Special thank you to YZ Yuan for letting us finish what he started many years ago. This was a build started by a close friend, YZ who had started building the car before moving to the west coast of Canada a
