Calculated Risk/GOTO:Racing Protoype Subaru Project (need a shell)

Thats all I can say about the project right now, we are not 100% sure about the direction of the project at this point, exact build specs, etc. But I can say that our goal is to build a prototype Subaru racecar, semi-tube frame using 100% Subaru drivetrain components, but without the limitations of poor suspension geometry and weight of a full unibody STi. We are hoping to show what a Subaru motor and AWD can really do!

But first... we need a shell. I have been having some trouble finding a cheap shell and hoped that I could get some help from the community that has supported our Subaru racing adventures so far.

I want to find a wrecked WRX or STi of any year, front or rear end damage, but a straight greenhouse section. Doors can be bent obviously but the firewall, and unibody around the greenhouse needs to be intact.

We are really excited to get this project underway and start posting a build log with pictures and exact build specs, so let me know if anyone has a line on a shell.

Thanks,

-Brian

You may want to find someone looking to do a conversion. Go in with them. Take what you need....let them take what they need.
