Hi all! I figured I should keep you all updated on my project. I just created a walk around video explaining what I've done to it and my future plans I will try to keep you all updated on the rebuild here .
Ah are you talking about the chassis failing? Funny enough, I have 40s and my dad has an extra 7.3 IDI, it needs to heads though (if anyone has any extra laying around )
The Subaru unibody is pretty strong, my one friend that offroads his WRX all the time had his chassis crack at 400,000 miles. My other friend had a 500$ impreza, we would floor it into ditches and it held up fine. My WRX has 195,000 miles and no issues with the chassis.
My bugeye WRX was written off in a 5mph collision with chassis damage at 100000 miles. Yet no rust or anything.
They wrote off my WRX in an accident too, the metal behind the fender was bent about 2 inches. Still drives fine though and alignment is ok. Was your car not driving ok after that? As in, wheels wouldn't align?
Inner fender/firewall weld cracked completely, radiator and bumper supports both collapsed, radiator and air conditioning condenser tried making babies, airbag warning light jammed on, then while on back of a recovery truck, full airbag deployment. Insurer came to a £4500 repair bill on a car only worth £2500, was already looking to change cars so wasn't logical to attempt a buyback and repair
sickest bugeye ever! dream car is a 07' WRX Estate. have you seen this? https://www.beamng.com/resources/sunburst-mixed-headlights.10969/
Dang you must of hit harder them 5mph, that is a crazy amount of damage :O Yes the 07 wrx hawk eye is amazing! Haha yeah, I love it!
I have the footage, plus they hit me. TBF. 5mph is an estimate figure. It's more, how fast can a Toyota accelerate backwards in a 2 meter gap at full throttle, which, can't be fast? I guess just wrong angle. What sucks more, it didn't even look that bad. But category C write off, I don't have space or time to do a buyback and fix. Take the cash and put it towards a new car, which is why I now have a 2015 focus ST
Sorry for the bump, but I'm curious as to how the build of this car has been going since the last reply to this thread.
I gotta 06 red wrx limited wagon 5-speed for $500, It was wrecked, but now shes good and it's still got a clean title!
