That has to be the worse advertisement I've ever seen. He's actually approached the advert seriously (by the looks of things). But everything just says don't touch it with the longest barge pole ever. Gotta laugh!

I read it as:
- rolled his STI
- bought a Sport as a donor shell
- transferred over the STI running gear
- committed insurance fraud
- wrecked the STI engine
- bought another engine, also f**ked
- now wants to offload the whole sorry lot onto some other poor sucker

is it a turbo engine in it? or is it a sport with a intercooler? look at the shape of the intake, should the turbo housing be where the intake pipe is?

I like the part where he says he replaced all the panels because they looked tatty - who would bother doing this ??? From the pic it looks more like he bought a write off that had been in a big smash, and has replaced the damaged parts with those from another shed with a blown engine.

Would anyone buy a 'bitsa' made from two or three different cars, then registered as a sport when it isnt...

Interesting.. His STi was obviously a pre 96 model but thats a 96/97 shell he's stuck all the bits on.. I feel sorry for who ever buys that!
