Going to look at the rs tomorrow afternoon. So hopefully I have a new car tomorrow

 

[05RSKID]

My new ride picked it up today for $660

 

[2point5RS_Dan]

That is a stupid good deal and I wish I had bought it.

 

[05RSKID]

Yea in happy with the out come even though it needs a sub frame and I'm glad you didn't

I was eyeing it because it has all the spare parts for the rally car + spare body panels etc, but wrong gearbox/axles/diff and older motor.

Front U brace? Rear subframe?

Can you swap from the red car or do you need anotherone? Sadly I'm not much help since I don't have any on hand nor am I going to the junkyard anytime soon becaue racecar + winter.

 

[05RSKID]

The front u brace and its bent in the 05. Yea it would be a good parts car for you. I'm going to be pulling the motor and trans to put on the ones from the 05.

 

[05RSKID]

Going to paint the car the color on the trunk

 

[05RSKID]

Fixed the rear wheel well some





Also fixed the rust on the roof

so is this one going to be more beast then the last? sry about the 05 but i like the bugeye more

 

[jaKe]

+1 on the bugeye, they just look better. Good deal

Its going to be similar to the last one.  Going to try and make it better but I will be swapping over the lift and tires once I swap the motor and tranny.  Then its time to finish the body work and pain the car.  Hoping to get my money this week so I can start the swap this weekend

 

[05RSKID]

Just ordered my clutch and will be ordering the timing belt and head gaskets on monday or tuesday to start swapping this weekend.

I have brand new ones

 

[blmpkn]

I love seein "restos" like this good work with the roof and stuff cant wait to see it finished and lifted!

I prefer the 05 body style over any other imp, but for 660 who cares!

whats the benefit over a normal 2.5 gasket.  Stronger?

Thanks, Dont do much body work but I will get my far share in with this one. lol  And the Bug eye is growing on me but  once it has a face full of lights I think it will look better

There's a thickness diff I believe.
