go, no go, on this junk evo?

i found this car for sale, rebuilt title, no motor, repainted, interior is rough. asking 5500$

i can do the machine work myself, and the block is still in the car. i could probably have it running for under 1000$ but theres lots of aftermarket parts i do not like. maybe i could sell them off or swap on forums for stock stuff.

heres a couple pics.

whatchyall think?

(i build cars, literally i could assemble it in a week of evenings, and i have always wanted to do an evo. interior is fair but mostly salvageable, as a running car what would its value be?)

Look to the underside to decide whether you build it or not. Rust would be a no.

i have an educated guess at this from what info i have acquired, and it is nothing that would make me question the shells integrity. i am going to try and look at the car end of next week. its about a 4 hour drive from my door.

So it's either a flood car, caught fire, or was stolen and stripped down?

So your saying you could have a running evo for ~$6500 and a few nights of work. Seems like a no brainer. Should be worth at least 10K if you can make it presentable and mechanically sound.

it was in a front end collision and insurance worked it over. owner kept it had it repaired as it was not actually that damaged.

i am going to look at it the weekend of the 20th. this is a no rust part of the country, as long as the repairs were done well i am going to do my best to get it picked up and home in the next month or so. (hopefully no one else finds it, beginning to think i shouldnt have mentioned it here)

yup, running evo 8 for 6500$ (i just used my last set of evo pistons in my friends 2g dsm build or i wouldnt have even had to spend 1000$ to get it running.)

Do it and start a new thread starting from the day you pick it up until the day it gets tuned and keep it for yourself.
