Hi all,

So in a sad turn of events, I'll be breaking the wagon this weekend. It failed an MOT on excessive rust around the rear strut towers and sills and is uneconomical to repair :-(

Has some choice bits, brand new refurbished steering wheel, recently refurb'd front Brembos, newly powder coated STI alloy wheels with fresh Michelin rubber, whiteline adjustable ARB's, whiteline drop links and anti-lift kit, Miltek 3" cat back system with 4" tail pipe, new KYB ultra rear shocks, new PCA dynamics springs all around, new a/c compressor, refurbished front diff + housing bearings, Sti front bumper/bonnet/wings/skirts in 18L black, VF35 turbo, STI tmic, pink injectors, sillicone intake pipes, walbro 255lt fuel pump, prosport triple gauges. There's much more and I'll have receipts for most.

Drop me a PM if any of this is of interest to anyone, I'll list items as and when they're taken off the car.

Hopefully I'll be back with another project some time soon!

Thanks,
Sunny

Really not sure on pricing yet, need to get the bits off and start listing. Drop me a PM with offers if you know market value.

I'd imagine around £500 for the suspension and £600 for the wheels and tyres?

Thanks

Default The offending item


Rust was horrific on/around the rear strut area. Was hidden behind some underseal, when peeled back and hit with a screwdriver this happened.....

Oof, that is pretty shocking tbh... I can't believe how badly these cars rust around this area... it's like a throwback to the 80s

Mines was similar, not quite as bad as yours but still bad! I cut it all out and welded good solid metal in, hopefully last until they phase electric cars in
