    I have a silver 2002 WRX wagon. I bought it last January in Grand Rapids, with significant damage to the front end, air bags popped, etc. With a little work I drove it home, and set about repairs in my own garage. It turned out to be much worse than I thought, bent frame rails, subframe, etc., so I had to turn it over to a professional to get it straight and hang the sheetmetal. I can't say enough good things about Marty at First Class Customs in Farmington.
    Since getting the car roadworthy, I haven't done much, just an STI catback so far. I tried on some STI struts and springs, but the ride was just too stiff this winter, so I am back to stock suspension. It is due for maintenance soon, so once the basics are done, mods will follow. I picked up a front sway bar, and will start saving for Konis.
    My Subaru time might be coming to an end soon though. I am unemployed and it is getting to the point of selling anything not nailed down. So there might be a for-sale post soon!
    Cheers. Attached is an old picture or two when I got the car. Newer pics to follow.

    Hey welcome!

    What does it look like now, is it a salvage title and what were you looking to get for it? I know this isn't a for sale thread but I figured I'd ask.
