Project Rekt - Salvaged BRZ track build
 

Seems these salvage rebuilds are becoming more popular as people wreck their cars, so heres mine.

I picked up my 2013 Limited BRZ in 02C/WRB with 18k miles on it back in September of 2014 after parting out my 2010 Twin Turbo 370z (part out paid for the car entirely :lol:), cost was ~11k but that included some repairs. The car itself is from Massachusetts and I found kid rock CD in the in the cd player, if anyone knows the owner tell him thanks haha.

The good: Perfect interior, and engine runs great, all fluids looked completely fresh when changed, including trans and diff surprisingly. No air bags deployed.

The bad: No major frame damage, but did need a minor pull to front rail for drivers side fender to meet with headlight/bumper. Also needed driver side headlight, fender/fender bracket, driver side tail light, hood, front/rear bumpers and some rear quarter panel work.

I bought a used headlight, used rear bumper, used hood, new fender/bracket, new FRS front bumper and towed the car to my local body shop. For the time being I decided not to fix the rear 1/4 and not to paint the used hood yet, I basically fixed enough of the car that was necessary for New York salvage inspection (which is a huge pain in the ass).

I purchased the car with the glass replaced and some other minor repairs and the front clip put back together running:

The plan right now is to stay NA and enjoy the car, as experience grows I'll work on the suspension and then possibly a supercharger down the line.

I like where this is going

Love the BRZ headlights with the FRS bumper... COLOR MATCHED.

Truly a hybrid of our twins!

what's it weigh?

havent gotten a chance to weigh it yet but I've probably dropped ~125lbs, once I remove the carpet, headliner, airbags and do the single exit exhaust I'll be more interested in getting a weight

sub'd; nice build

LOL

to clarify I meant thanks for the car, I threw the CD out immediately

So you're driving a Toyota BRZ now

so far it's confused 2 gas station attendants and the dudes mounting my tires at Mavis got into an argument over it. mission accomplished

Just stumbled across this thread by dumb luck and wow... Very impressed with the work you put into this so far! Not everyday you see someone dedicated enough to bring a salvage back to life. Subbing

need to install my new toy this weekend ;)
