Default Would this be worth buying and breaking?

Subaru : Subaru Impreza WRX - Auto (Automatic)

I've seen a few of these now, and would be interested in buying and breaking them if it would be worth my while.
Surely I'd get it for £1200 and get my money back selling the engine, box and wheels. Anything else is profit.
Panels
Headlights
Interior
Diff
Calipers
Shell whith id
ETC

I have a good bit of land and a garage so what do you all think?

Why buy a perfectly good working car just to 'rape' it for parts?

Buy something knackered if you want to do that IMO.
Classics are slowly fading out...

I did this years ago with minis ended up with one mini for myself which had everything on it and a shed load of **** proberbly got my money back for what i paid for the cars and sold the mini for 4K so yes Id suppose it is if you dont have to pay anything for storage / land and you are doing it in your spare time could be a good earner
Id be interested in the wheelsif you do

You might make a few quid, But for the man hours and hassle it would have to be a hobby as I cant see it being a viable business.

Plus you would need all those disposable certificates if it was a business.

I think you would probably struggle to make your money back on that anyway, thinking about it.

They either have a twin scroll turbo OR they do it for a slight performance increase

Personally I think it sounds crap with equal length manifold/headers.

To make money?

I'd rather see one classic die to make 3 classics live.

It will be a weekend thing, not a business

The more they fade out, the more the remaining clean examples will be worth.

If its a weekend thing, and you can afford to loose on it if the worst happens then have a punt.
You got to a chance on things every so often.

Lets face it, 1994 WRX's are affordable to young lads in their late teens/early 20's. Theyre gonna thrash them, blow them up or crash them so theyll be looking for parts.

I had an SRi 130 and a Cavalier GSi in my teens which you could pick up for around £1000/£1500 an I thought they were quick. If me or any of my mates had some off road experiances, we broke them for parts and made our money back.
