I think a clean Brumby with an EJ in it would probably get 8k to the right buyer but that seems a lot of work to go through just to sell it.
Yeah but I've already gone through most of the work and I have absolutely everything I need to do it (except the paint and a windscreen). So far it owes me $1000 and thats with the engine, box and rest of the running gear :mrgreen:

And it will allow me to learn and make mistakes with it and then do it better with the next one which I will be keeping :D

And of course I may be financial enough to keep it by the time its finished.

Go on carsales and there are some (Brumbys) for 18 20 even 22k, they have full wrx running gear bodykit. What we would do plus a heap of other pointless stuff!
They wont sell or have/will be taken off.

For sure Ken. I'm not saying don't do it. I wouldn't have what I have today if I didn't have your thoughts. I'm just thinking of how not to waste too much hard earned dosh.
