    I'm building an ej205 that I was going to throw into my RS but I'd looking at building a WRX instead. Post up if you have one with engine problems, I could tow from most places, thanks!

    I could do the RS+cash if interested

    ps. bugeyes preferably

    Probably not going to find what your looking for. Most of the time when someone blows their car it devalues it so badly you kind of have to fix it to recover some money. I'm guessing a good condition WRX with a blown engine is worth about as much as a totaled one that runs, either way you have to part it out or fix it to restore some value.

    Yeah I would agree with that but many don't want to deal with the headache of fixing it or parting it out, I've gotten a decent amount of offers but mostly in the far East/West coast, just seeing if I can find anyone more local before I commit to a large tow trip.

    I have a blown 02 wrb wagon i would keep the motor in it and sell that but i would consider giving you all the parts you need to make your motor a long block. Shoot me a pm and we will discuss
