Hi I'm new to the subaru community but have become instantly addicted.

Now I have a problem with my 2000 subaru 2000 with a highly modified 2005 sti engine garrett concept turbo Roger clark headers , high velocity up pipe . Stainless front mounted intercooler. Viper inlet pipe . Mapped by Bob Rawle. Short shift gearbox and lightened flywheel. Loads more mods as well. But the body and chassis are rotting away. It's already failed it's mot on a list as long as my arm. I am currently looking for a clean shell to hopefully rebuild and make the beast live on.

I've found a cheap non turbo 2001 bugeye wagon with engine trouble.

Now my question is how much of a pain will it be to strip the bugeye and transfer engine loom running gear brakes struts over so I can scrap the old 2000 shell.

Just trying to weigh up whether it's worth doing or should i cut my loses and break her down for parts.

Any help is muchly appreciated thanks

really that bad. Why is it torture? is it not just a case of swapping bits over then?

Basically the whole car. Ecu, loom, dash, engine, gearbox, brakes etc etc.

So better off just breaking the car then and buying something else?

Or find a wrx sti with a good shell and transplant the engine be a shame to waste and sell it off

Yeah its a shame to break it. But its my daily drive. So gonna have to cut my loses and start a fresh. Dig out the push bike to commute for a few weeks. As the other project is having the rear axle rebuilt.
