Lightbulb Rolled 03 WRX to rebuilt 04 WRX...

I just recently rolled my 03

it doesn't seem like it is too bad... i need a new roof... so i think that is going to be my biggest challenge, but i need a new roof and i need new panels and doors all the way around... basically new paneling completely... grrr....
Needed:
new front quarter panels
new rear quarter panels
new driver side doors
new hood
new side skirts
new rear window
new driver window
new windshield

thats about everything that was damaged...
i haven't really looked at the trunk but i know my v6 sti replica wing is toast.
so...
if you guys got any idea on how to help plz!!!!
i can use all the advice and help i can get...

also just one ?:
is there any fabrication needed for a front end conversion from an 03 to an 04?

So I am a little confused. You rolled your 03 and now you are looking to revert it to an 04?
Good luck with finding all those parts. I would try looking anywhere and everywhere for them. Maybe some people on here have extra parts lying around to help out. Is this the second subie that you totalled?

LOL, ok. All I said is I hope you find yourself the parts you needed.

I'm sorry to hear about your rollover. I know how it feels man, and no body wants to go through it. How did it happen if you dont mind me asking?

That is quite a project. I'm sure you can piece together the pieces over the course of a few months. Have you taken it to a shop to see if there is any frame damage? If you rolled it, it's quite possible the unibody was tweaked and you might not be able to tell by just looking at it. Good luck with the rebuild!

oh no doubt... i got a guy who can look at it who will be able to tell me whther the frame is tweaked or not... im really hoping not... but we shall see... but we were driving down a dirt road late at night and we took the corner a lil too fast and my friend and i slid off the edge... i rolled it 2 3/4 times and it came to rest on the driver side... i found the only thing was my shoulder broke my driver window and the tree took out my rear window... only windows that are missing. my windsheild is cracked but still in place and all other windows are in perfect condition. i even think 2 of my doors are in perfect condition. my trunk is perfect as well but me wing not so much. will have pics up soon...

so youre looking for an 04 conversion? i think body-kit.com has the wrc kit for an 04 wrx, its wide body and looks awesome but i think its all fiberglass and you'll need the lights and the hood. dont know how hard the conversion is though. peace
