I never seen so many t-taps, butt connectors and house wiring nuts in my life, LOL

This is just the alarm...

ooof... first RS I bought in 2007 looked like this under the dash.

Any time I see "custom headunit" / alarm / tons 'o gauges now, the are a red flag for me.

Good luck!

And since the red FR-S needs a motor.. the real reason we bought the WRB BRZ is that it's a running car with low mileage....

That engine should power the red FR-S quite nicely..

LOL the WRB just looks too damaged to fix.

We can always re-evaluate when the car actually arrives.

After buying a motor for my personal FRS track car from some shady ass shop in Orlando we decided it was much better to buy an entire car instead.

i was thinking that.. there looks to be something odd about the rear wheel well overhang, which would indicate severe frame damage, much more than most of your other builds!

I think it's just really low mainly. Car has coilovers installed.. and stock wheels. No obvious rear damage. I suspect front frame rail damage though. It's fixable for sure but worth fixing? Maybe, maybe not.. it will really depend on condition of the rest of the car. It did have some big arse wang on the trunk lid at some point. Might have to test on those Maxxis VR-1 tires though...

Ever wondered what happens to parts cars after they are stripped?
