hey guys and girls what’s up, I am finally going to perform my drive terrain swap into my 02 wrx basically I bought this and the best part is i only paid 800.00$ 2005 sti with only 8,000 miles on it long story short the kid took the car out when it was uninsured because of tickets (fell asleep at the wheel and put it into a ditch) that’s what he told me but I found a lot of beer bottle caps in the back seat lol. Anyways everything on the car was perfect except the body I really lucked out too.more pictures of me striping the car. Another good thing was that he lived right down the street from me so I rolled it to my house and striped it down complety
Some more pictures
my room has been filled to the max in parts for like the last 2 months many of the parts

Now a delay in the swap happened 2 weeks ago someone cut me off to get on the freeway at night I hit the back of his truck and he took off
Poor suby

so it is still in the body shop as of 10/2/06 and I get it back at the end of the week, after the accident happened a tow truck came the next day to pick up the car and take it to cooks collision in walnut creek. So on Monday at lunch I walk down the street to check on the car at the collision shop (I work at Diablo Mazda Subaru) we looked the car over and I leave to go back to work. The next day Tuesday I go back over at lunch, I ask if they started and he said not yet but we will pull it in and start taking it apart and I go back to work.
about a hour I get a call from the collision place” bad news" he proceeds to tell me that when the tech was bringing the car in he noticed a smashed window, the car was broken into and vandalized crap. I go after wok to see the devastation, broken window dents all over from a brick and the stole my navigation system eclipse avn 5435.so after everything got taken care of threw insurance. Here are some pics of the damage from the break in and vandalism
Where they missed the window and hit the door
