Default Don't know what to do???

Guys,

Ive hit a mole hill with my Wrx(94) dont know what to do with it.
i havnt used it since march

it needs around £300-500 spent on her to make it nice to drive again.
Then paint work..

i dont know to either carry on with this one, look for a blown Ra to transplant,
break it and go with something n/a like a civic or gti6/Rallye on TB'S

Lost the spirit to carry on really.

paint work its just stone chips on front bumper and scuffs in rear bumper not panel wise and not a single patch of rust,
just wants a service,4pots recon with new discs/pads and a couple of odd gaskets and a new idle control valve.another td05

What should i do??

Me I`d fix.
But if your not happy strip and move on.


Getting less and less of the pre facelift around now, would be a shame to break.

£3-500 isnt really the problem, i just looked and a 92-96 Wrx in silver seem to be worth less than a grand!!! mine owes me 2-3k. i need to just get my act together really sit down and work out what i want the car to do(track or reliable user friendly if you can get that)

Track it or strip it, but no car is worth what you put into it really.
As long as your happy who cares??

If your planning on keeping for a long while then £3k isn`t much.

All to do with fuel costs and insurance.

I`m confident they will improve with the earlier cars.
The later ones I feel won`t.
