Theft recovery EVO GG IX MR
So I posted a few weeks ago about my EVO being stripped in my garage.
My insurance company totaled the car, they said it need 32k in parts?
I just bought it back from my insurance company and im looking to replace all my stolen parts. I'm not too car savvy at all so i'm getting all the outside help that I can get.
I'm in the chester county area, close to West Chester/Downingtown.
Anyway im going to be replacing the turbo, struts, trunk, hood, calipers, wheels, front seats, glove box, shifter knob, and i'm sure there will be a lot more done, since it has a salvage title(makes me so sick) and most likely not under warranty anymore, I'll probably try to upgrade it as much as possible.
I'm still out of the state for work so its going to take some time to get it back into good shape.
As far as the exterior goes i'm trying to get it back to stock as possible.
Heres a picture of the message the theif left on my window, he used the touch up paint inside my glove to right it as insult to injury...
This whole thing makes me sick, only had 17k on my MR, it was mint...anyway thanks in advance for any help.
My uncle sent me this picture from his iphone. Its the message the thieves wrote on my window with my touch up paint that was in the glove box.
It says: "I. O. U. A LOT THNX"

Yeah I figured my best bet was to pick up as many stock parts as I can when people upgrade their cars. I think the interior is going to be the hardest. Thanks though!

I dont know all the parts exactly because I havent been home to make a list, but what I was told I need right now are, front seats, brake calipers, shifter knob, glove box, trunk, hood, and ABS sensors. I'll get a more completed list when i'm able to look at it myself.
I dont know everything that is missing from the engine, but I was told for sure that the turbo is gone, and the right strut is damaged.

Believe me the thought has crossed my mind. I just wouldnt have any idea how to go about doing that. and I was never planning on selling the car anyway, I loved my car...it hurts seeing it all torn apart...just was hoping to get it back to what it used to be >=\

sorry to hear what happened.
if you go to the buschur site or ams site, they have "stages" that you can go by. i don't think you can go wrong by following their list. gl with your rebuild

You've gotta go aftermarket, the reason it was "totaled" is the high cost of OEM parts. Go aftermarket wherever possible. The aftermarket is so vast for these cars, you can get just about everything. I'm sure there are exceptions, but stuff like seats, intercoolers, brakes/wheels. etc etc are crazy expensive new.
