I picked up a 2002 WRX sedan rolling chassis with full interior, longblock, and “works fine” manual transmission for $4500 yesterday. It needs a radiator (have fans), exhaust (have manifold and up pipe), a new clutch and some other random smallish things such as an oil filler neck and cap, fuel filter, TGV motors, etc.

Unfortunately, nothing very exciting is going to happen to this car. I intend to build it back to Stage 2 specifications and sell it.

Day 1 photos (drop off at my house) are here. Day 2 photos are annotated and can be found here.

More as it develops.
