Looking to sell my shell to re-coop some money. I’ve spent the last few months carefully inspecting all the parts left on it, cleaning it up, repairing it, and preparing it for a swap.

**Asking $1,999**

I have a summer/winter set of wheels and tires for my current daily that I could loan for you to roll it onto a trailer. If you plan on using stock brakes I have Forester wheels with no tires I could also sell the buyer. The seat situation is as described above… rear seats and interior from 99+ RS, front seats of the same style are available for $100 and the WRX blue seats (which go very nicely with this car) are available for $150.

The dash wiring has been tapped into for both a sound system and the alarm/remote/start. That portion of the wiring was done professionally by Audio Obsessions in albany and looks to be done properly.

The sound system was removed before I purchased the car so you may have to add speaker wires for your rear speakers. Luckily the head unit plugs have not been cut so that won’t be an issue.

As I said about the ECU, this had a standalone system on it so where the OEM connectors were are cut. This should be the only real concern about wiring for the car which if you are planning on swapping an STI, wrx, or svx motor you would be cutting out anyway.

ah, well that would be easy enough. You would want to take your dash harness anyway since they’re slightly different. You could swap over everything I’m not including with it and do it for real cheap.
