05 wrx to sti

hey guys, i was wondering about this swap of an sti 2.5, 6 speed, diffs axles and control arms into my 05 wagon and how much this will end up running me for those with experience. also any other experience feedback, my driveline is perfectly fine, i just want a reliable fast daily driver, I was considering trading the suby for an audi b5 but cant get over the love for my subbyyyy so id like to explore all options..

anyone done this swap or have any links to it? I will be doing the work myself and with a few friends, anyone who has leads on beginning this project, please any feedback is awesome!

for it to be done right it will cost about 10k with install. Parts can cost you a lot and so will the sti long block, trany, diffs, and hubs. The best way to save money would be to do the work yourself, but again that is a hard job to do as a firs timer
