Good news on not needing a new dash board and sundry.

It's not as bad as I thought.

how different is the body shell compared to just a plain jane impreza? if its not too different it might be worth buying one for ~$10k strip everything off it & sell to recoup some more $ then bolt all your stuff into the stripped shell, just ban idea anyway

They r quite different. Maybe getting an aftermarket bumper and replacement upgraded parrs from japan better value for money? Just a thought.

When Beerens (I think it was beerens) rolled his 08 at targa, he found most panels made in carbon for cheaper than standard stuff. Saved a heap of weight and looks good. You can see it at Maximums.

Also contact bigo for a quote at Melthams?

couple of options... airbags, panels etc are going to add up quickly.. maybe a cheap reshell isnt such a bad idea?
