Bit of a story
We lost our dog last month ,kidney failure.She hadn’t been able to go walking for quite awhile so we had bought an i30 for my wife to drive. She now wants another Malamute so The Hyundai boot won’t be big enough. So in a moment of madness I said sell mine sell hers and buy a SUV.Thats it no more Subaru.
My wallet can relax,I will shut the door on the way out .��

Nooooo. Such a shame Dave, especially after all the money, time, money effort, money, upgrades, money, love and money you've shown it.

Gutted.

I don’t do Facebook so I don’t know what he is doing with it.
It will be a pity if he breaks it.

Very sorry to hear, Dave.
Sadly, a lot of project thread cars are worth more in parts than whole and in the end business is business.

I'm deep in negative equity on my Bugeye wagon but if I ever decided to part with it I'd offer it on the forum first.
Then at least if I changed my mind there'd be a chance - however remote - of buying it back.

I was told the problem is it’s only a Wrx so not worth very much.

I can’t get my head around the fact I was daft enough to sell it.
Then to find out it was being broken is gutting.

Dave I am absolutely gutted for you mate. That's a total worst case scenario to be honest. After all the effort, let alone the money you've spent on the car it's more the time and emotion you've put into the build to see it being broken totally unemotionally is gutting.

Really feel for you mate. Ryan should have told you. He's lost a good customer there.
