New project for xhengmanx!
Looks like I got a new project... Some of you may have known for a while now but I finally got the car into the garage and will be ready to start work on it. I'll admit she isnt a looker at this point but only time will tell!!
Its a 2002 Wrx wagon, I'm unsure of mileage as I havent hooked up the battery and there is no harness in the vehicle at this time. Currently needs alot alot alot of work. Here is a quick picture I have of the car since I just got it home a few hours ago.
Currently needs front brakes, motor, tranmission, front seats, sedan fenders, struts and springs and some miscellaneous interior parts.
Current build cost: 3510
Motor : 1500
Blown 5sp transmission : 200
Ra gears - 1,000
jdm sti black chrome hid headlights : 525
jdm rep sti grill: 80
jdm sti real scoop: 80
jdm v2 real front lip: 175
Rear wagon seats : 80
bulk head harness: 300
body side harness: 100
prodrive springs with oem shocks : 150
Spearco TMIC : 600 Ended up selling tihs and using the stock sti tmic I had saved on the side. Using the money for RA gears instead
Sedan fenders - 200
Sedan bumper - 100
More to come!

oooh, looks like it will be a fun project. wonder how it'll end up--any ideas of what direction you'll go with it?
of course, the obligatory bird poo just sets it off, as a good starting point...

Lol Wee as of right now, Im hoping to turn it back into a reliable daily driver but of course along the road it'll be smarter to buy better aftermarket parts instead of factory oem stuff... For instance, I already have a set of jdm black chrome hid headlights getting shipped to me, I already have a jdm v2 front lip for it and also a jdm replica front grill. Its up in the air on what motor I will be dropping into it but more then likely its going to be a stock ej205 or possibly a ej207 if money provides lol.

Damn Tony. Cut some sedan rear quarters and graph them in to turn her into a widebody wagon. What color is it currently?
Also, get some of my parts painted for me. I tried to get a quote back in November with no dice. lol

Been putting stuff together and forgot to take pictures but I got the main dash harness in and also installed the dash. Also picked up a bunch more stuff for the car. Spearco TMIC, Jdm sti hood scoop, replica jdm sti grill, another set of rays g-games( yes the same set of wheels I have on my widebody), and some other miscellaneous stuff. I'll try to get pictures to document the progress.

I have, I will be putting in a hybrid built motor into it..
And I think I probably made the biggest mistake so far.. I think I put a sedan dash harness into the car... FML!
