Can anybody help? looking for a impreza project car to do up with my son, with a purchase budget of around £650, none turbo preferred but not critical. Does anybody know of someone selling one that is half descent, we are not affriad of getting our hands dirty but don`t wont a money pit.

 

There was a dark blue classic sport in halfway car sales Llanelli a little while back. Paint was very tatty and I think it had a bottom end knock. If I remember correctly it owed him £600. Not sure whether it's still there but worth a look.

 

get a turbo mate

 

His son is 15 so a turbo is out.

 

Thanks will take a look

 

There was a GL in the scrappies in Taffs Well. I'll have another look.

I've PM'd you fella.

 

sorry, my amazing idea has been dashed by the dreaded insurance companies, want too much to insure another one.
Sorry again Martin

 

a freind of mine was looking for none turbo to make it look like turbo he had insurance quote and it came as 4.6k car is only worth £800 hes 18,its a bloody joke

 

I know for a laugh I had a quote for my son at 17 On my Hawkeye wrx and the cheapest that I could get was £44,800. That's taking the ****

You should be able find one, I bought my sport 2.0 as a project to do with my dad on the cheap, paid 625. fitted 2 bearings, full new rear sub frame thats evil normally really corroded. new bush new shoes new discs caliper upgrade new pads new master cylinder new tryes now it looks ace probably cost 500 to do up, changed the bonnet to sti8 changed the spoiler. So you should be able to do a project for 1500.

One word of advice if its sorn etc you cant tow it, even solid metal bar. took 6pts and an in10 of the *******s

 

600 quid and you don't want a money pit........hmmmmmm

 

If you know what your doing the entire project can be done in the same ammount of money that some people, possibly you but what do I know, spend on getting the brakes done or a major service or something.

Proof: My car came with a £800 receipt think it was pads discs, shoes and possibly lines the latter being a ballache.
We did caliper conversion pads shoes discs for £100. That was using upgraded parts too.

 

How about starting with something like a Justy? One of our members started with one of them

 

I did know of a no tax no test sport going for £200.. but it's gone now! Was tempted to get it for a runabout!

 

Thanks people, put this idea to bed now as thinking of modding the hawkeye.
