Whats it worth in current State - requring a rebuild
if you have been following the thread you will probably know that I bought this car from a fellow Scoobynetter and Hampshire subaru member, unfortunately bad luck intervened and on its second trip out after me buying the big end whent 
The car is currently at local subaru tuners and has been stripped down to assess extent of damage and rebuild options. The bits that need failed were the n03 big end and also some bore wear on inspection, a new clucth is also required.
The dilema and sore point now is that I do not have a bean to pay for any repairs and struggling to find the cash to pay for the engine out and strip so far
So I either find somewhere to store it for the next year and hope I win the lottery or a family member leaves some inheritance or she has to be sold as an ongoing project for someone
would make a perfect 2.5 project for someone
Any ideas what she is worth as a project
Thanks Steve

Wagoners Know better and can rise above it
Clutch pics later, but plate/ piece has signs of heat cracks, bearing also notchy and no grease left
Cambelt tensioners - have left the building, no hydraulic fluid left.
Not stripped heads yet for inspection
Pistons worn on the sides
ypu can push down on pistons about 5mm or more where bearings has collapsed - confirmed by lumps of metal in sump and swarf.
I feel like frying tonite
comparison
original was 'Exceedy stamped on it
thats fubar'd
Trails, you weren't wrong when you said my clutch was slipping
Shiny new replacements
In need of TLC
all ready for new paint
Next inthralling issue coming soon when we strip the heads and get the crank out

If you get a prefab wooden one you don't need planning permission jsut so you know. Just make sure you cast a descent slab floor in it and then just put a couple of sneaky courses of bricks inside to give it etra rigidity!!

time consuming measures are always best, dislok is deffo one of the best espcially if you weld a bar along split line, makes it impossible to peel it open!!!
