And yes, I'd rather have something new and potentially more reliable to build upon rather than putting money into rebuilding it into running order first, then modifying. I had a 2001 Impreza RS coupe that I had to keep fixing up while putting parts into, since it wound up being an abused lemon by the time I got it. Eventually I got so frustrated with it that I sold the parts that made it unique, sat on the car in its broken state for a few years, then finally sold it last year in February. Never again will I buy a "beater" AND also go out of my way to mod it.
When i worked at subaru, almost ten years ago i saw a fairly youn kid who rebuilt his moms 93 impreza 4 door into a modified turbo sti look alike from 98, he said he did all the work except for paint in his garage it was amazing, you could hear the turbo spool up through the exhaust when he drove away. Props to that guy wish i still knew where the pics are, man those high end advan rims were so nice.
