Hi all
As the title says
Im looking into buying a gc8
Its dirt cheap right now as owners moving away and the cars been sitting as he was doing work to it.
Has a tiny bit of rust on the boot, been out of the weather so it looks solid (tapped the panels, only the driver door sounds like it's been filled a little)
He says its the Japanese STI but it has a 5 speed so i assume that's not the case. The engine is a 2.0 turbo but it's sitting next to the car, needs a turbo, radiator, front disks and possibly a exhaust manifold.
Ideally id do as much work to it myself
How much am i looking at just for parts?
Id get new gaskets, bearings etc as well due to it sitting for as long as it has.
A list of the bare minimum would also help
Thanks
