Impreza Turbo Project For Sale.
Time to let this one go. It is a project car though - grab a cuppa, sit down and read on.
This is a 2000 W-reg Subaru Impreza Turbo 2000 in Mica Blue. So that's facelift dash, crystal lights, Version 6 management - and other good points are black leather seats, only 115k miles, UK supplied car, and, as you can see, an ABW wide-arch kit, big bonnet scoop and extended height spoiler.
There are also a load of upgrades. The turbo is a VF22 (as per STI/22B spec) and the intercooler is off a newer Impreza. The gearbox is an STI one, there is an LSD fitted, and the timing belt and clutch have both been done just a few thousand miles ago. The engine runs perfectly and there is a brand new genuine MAF in there. This should mean it's closer to the 280hp of a WRX than the 218hp it started out with.
It has a big noisy fart can exhaust that sounds great, and currently a set of 18" Inovit wheels with 25mm spacers to fill out those arches.
HOWEVER
Despite these good points (well I like it!), the car suffers from the usual classic Impreza rust and needs a lot of work around the rear sills and arches. Like, lots of work. The arches were cut away for the widearch kit so would need built up again or shaped properly. The support for the rear bumper is also rotten. Every panel is dented although all are reasonably rot free. The car is not a complete stinker, floor and boot area are OK, engine bay also good, but the panels are dented and the sills and arches are gone so it'll need stripped and done right.
ALSO it needs a section of wiring loom. The drivers footwell area has been wet in the past and corroded the wiring connectors, meaning the central locking and electric windows muck around and as this wiring loom goes up to the dash, it affects the dash lights. Now the car was in regular use up until this fault became apparent and the lower dash was stripped out, but this will need sorted.
So, this is a chance to get a genuine GC8 Impreza Turbo with nice supporting mods, if you can do some repairs. It's a clean V5 but lots of owners (13 IIRC). Not sure where to price this but with good ones hitting 10k at the minute I think £4k is a fair guess. Or £3.5k if you bring your own wheels.
Any questions ask away. Located near Dungannon, NI.
