Default What now?? Classic project anyone?

Yesterday my MY00 UK 4 door classic suffered engine failure, it looks as though the bearings have failed and something has punched it's way through the centre block, there's oil all over the underside of the bonnet.

So what now? I had just had the rear wheel arches done and the rear jacking points, so it's got strong sills. It's done 145K miles, 12 months MOT with no advisories and really just needs a reconditioned engine/new EJ205 short block.

Is there any one out there that would be interested in buying it in this condition and doing it up or is it... scrap? It's in Deep Blue Mica 95H, and there are not many of these around now.

If there is interest, what should I be asking for it?

I'm in London, Perivale, really close to the A40, near the old Hoover building that's now a Tesco.

I am open to offers. But the car is a non-runner and would need to be collected.

I've had the car since 2002, I'm the second owner and bought it from Subaru in Leicester. Most of the problem points have been addressed, it's had a new petrol filler, major arch work - 2 weeks ago, which looks perfect.
There are a few modifications to it, it's got :-

Walbro 255 pump
100 cell Sports cat with wide mouth for turbo
original cat pipe
K&N performance filter
WRX intercooler, Samco blue Y intercooler pipes and from recirc valve
Samco blue coolant pipes.
Whiteline anti lift kit
Whiteline anti roll bars front and rear
Whiteline rollbar mount point for rear
Whiteline alloy rear suspension links
Lightened STi flywheel
Reconditioned Gearbox from David at APiImprezas
Twin pot brake caliper conversion on the rears
Standard Four pots.
Remapped ECUTek ECU.
Crystal sidelights and indicators.

The rest of the car is in reasonably good condition, I can get some photos if you are interested.

My girlfriend doesn't like the car, which is the reason I'm looking at selling it, else I'd put a new engine in it. Interestingly, she was driving when it blew
