what would be needed to be done to make it pass pits in the current shell?

Fix motor

remove cage
chuck in some carpet and OEM seats and seat belts
OEM suspension

not so bad so far...

what else?

Cage is gone, but speedo an dash lights are not working.

Rebuild in RA shell using VIN from some random ADM shell.

There is some body damage that would need to be fixed or halal spec dodgy bog. There is also things like some metal missing from the doors to make them lighter.

I am not certain but I think some of the brackets are gone that hold the rear seats in place. Either way it is a serious operation to get it over the pits.

IMHO:

Buy a rally reg RA.

Swap firewall out of GX and put into said RA.

Take over pits and pass.

Strip RA, prepare the shel properly, sell off surplus bits and put all the good bits in.

Profit?

I had a look on carsales for a cheap gx et al and why do people still get crackpipe money for 15 year old shitters?

I don't get that either. Spend a couple of $ extra and you can get a WRX instead of a poverty pack FWD GX/LX.

Best option I'd say.
