if the engine has done 115k then you're wasting your money, unless theres proof of the rebuild. I got an 80k engine for £450 and you can get a closed deck for not much more.

There would have to be over a grands worth of parts left on that 300 to make it worthwhile.

Speak to A.p.i mate as they do have on the shelf engines with standard internals and are sold at a decent price, plus the piece of mind that it's from a reputable company and wont sail you down the river!

My mate in leicester is breaking an sti v4 and has an excellent engine and VF22 turbo for sale. I think its all still in the car and can be heard running. Not too far from you either.

edit: just checked and he's sold it

Are the wheels, front lights, interior and rear spoiler intact ???.........if they are and the engine is in good fettle and you like the "300" look then it's just about break even on parts..
