I went and had a look at this at the auctions too. I was pretty keen, but the timing for spending extra money on another car was bad, and I figured by the interest it was getting it would go above my pricerange anyway. Was a pity the window was left open in the rain...

Is it rude to ask how much you paid for it? I'm still trying to get an idea of auction values...

thanks guys.. i paid 1300 for it... its not the best tbh (no insult intended ) and has a way to go before its up to my stds... i have a thread on it over in rsliberty site.. but thanks for the ifo.. i seen it was chipped but not model of turbo due to piping etc..so that wee thing has got to go to make way for td05...have ripped it apart today and got parts to repair...its work in progress as ive repaired the floor pan which was bent up but need to replace rear section of sill and tie everything in .... i assumed it went over gutter was concerned but it seems to drive straight enough... and yes, some twat left the window open but it is drying out nicely now...rims to go on, paint, repair work, turbo, new decatted bellmouth exhaust from turbo back as old one is a mess...and a general good going over...ye can tell yer brother its going to be ok....:cool:

Does that mean it has no catalytic converter?

well here ye are.. not done much, knocked out bottom of pillar a bit but need slide hammer for sill...done floor well, fitted my super important BEE-R dv...very rare indeed.. and ordered a td05 and boost controller and awaiting reply from adrian vos on whether the vos chip will be good for the seup i have planned... so things to do are fit door, repair sill, get painted, fit new rims.. shouldnt be too long.. heres some pics... first pic is photoshop of rims i have been thinking about although . black ones have playboy fake studs round rim.. like them other than that..rears are subtle and i am leaning towards them..

The motor and box are out of a 93 Legacy. Looks like the PS rear quarter panel has a dent in it too.
