Going to go with keeping it. I think its worth keeping and gettign back on road or selling as spares.
Even if i garage it and slowly replace parts over a few years i think will be worth it in the end.

Sooo i will be in the market for a good few bits soon :thumb:
All 4 lights, both bumpers, bonnet and boot.

Now to find a chep 325 or 330 bmw for work... hmmm or a brappy civic :lol1:

Why not reshell it mate.

I admire your enthusiasm mate 👍👍 good luck

Ah its always been a dream car for me so want to save it. Shame to bin it as its a WRX300 too... and was in immaculate condition.
Just need to find me a cheap fun runaround while i fix it, and all the parts from breakers.
Anyone want to sell me a good Subaru wagon for cheap, or a BMW 325ti compact :thumb:

Also i am looking for all 4 lights, bonnet, boot, prodrive spoiler and both bumpers if anyone has any good ones.

Can i put the bug eye front end on mine, will it fit? :norty:

It will fit, people used to do it the other way around. What bug eye front end look are you going for, STI, prodrive etc.

At least you'll have plenty of options regarding spares if you do wanna repair it over time, as we all know MattyB on here always has a good selection of quality cars in for breaking:thumb:

Oooh hmm I haven't thought that far. I think I like the uk300 look / prodrive. But happy with any really.
I assume I would need to swap out the front wings.
wings? Does it all just mount up to the same points and holes and all?

This was very popular many many years ago changing the front end to a newer car so there should be quite a few topics on it. My memory is terrible so I can't remeber exactly. But off the top of my head you will need wings,bonnet, grill, bumper and lights. It should all mount up. Its only when you go to do the hawkeye conversion you need a few other bits and possible some cutting.

Well not sure if anyone is interested or cares but i finally fought it out with insurance ( 4 damned weeks) and got a decent enough result.
I now have the car as a CAT S and weighing up my options.
Scoobyclinic have looked it over and given me a quote to repair i deff can't afford.
So my options i think are
1. parting it out quickly and hopefully as a complete spares car
or
2. reshelling.

Anybody have any lines on a shell i could have for a good price?

Resehell it mate.

As Nossy said, re shell it, and as been mentioned b4 try Matty B to see what he's got kickin about in the way of shells, he's broken blue blobeyes recently.
