just lookin on ebay and seen this 170775905013

 

 

Unless you are very good at doing the metal work, its not worth buying as the cost of putting that back in the road would be astranomical plus it looks like the damage has intruded into the engine bay by the damage to the alternator.

that reminds me about the 1 the fella bought of an insurance company for £500!!

 

If it was your own business, you were quiet, and you had a jig, that doenst look too hard a job at all for the potential value when repaired (if done well)

Its the parts, you cannot get them (front wings were like 2k each ) so would have to be hand made, plus the car would be a cat c, that drops the value dramatically, though i doubt most of the bidders would understand that unless they were hardened scooby nuts with alot of experience behind them.

oh no! what a shame!

 

Who owned it pre-damage?

tony ,you have just made my day! i have at least 9 wings. 4 or five new plus a few s/hand . im rich !!!

 

22B wings ?????

 

i would say yes 22b wings ,they do prep and did have a bare shell too. i think he has a 22b too although havn't seen it for a while

 

Shame about the damage on left rear wing, it would almost be worth to cut the rear wings of and have them fitted to a Type R instead of some horrible fibreglass copys.

 

Bullsh!t, I thought. But....

What makes them so special?

You could have a fairly newish Type 25 for that kind of money which would be better in every way.

 

repared worse than this myself! wings would go again, so would rear quarter, new frt pannel and bonnet and done!
honestly not that bad!
chris. imho!

 

It's a 22B !!!

The most iconic and sought after Impreza of them all. A type 25 will be worth considerably less in 10 years time, a stunning 22 will only ever increase.

 

I would of thought that this car by the end on the auction would be over 10k

watch this space.

if it is not on the register even more,

That will be this one sold a month or so back for salvage, Makes you wonder why they didn't repair it, prob found out the cost of the 22b parts

yes i agree! done some pannel work and fitted glass lots of hard work done so why sell!!?? engine u/s maybe??
chris..

 

Sold for 9600 last month....did someone buy it as a speculative adventure to make money ??

Its a perfect buy if u want a 22b to keep for long term as an investment forget it.As when people come to view they go over them with a fine tooth comb.If they have the wrong filter or exhaust it puts them off never mind a cat c and fibre glass panels.

 

Id be worried that the damage has since been prettied up...and personally I would have wanted it raw. Now its got a screen and the roof re-shaped... but wonder if it's been tugged and to what extent (...and how i.e with a fork lift or measured???!)

 

Agree with Fud there, your not going to make any money out of repairing it with genuine parts and cheap replica parts would ring alarm bells straight away if it were to be put up for sale after the repair, I even think the £9600 is sold for was a tad too much(is that including auction costs,vat etc?.....), Be nice to have it as a keeper though

 

I am surprised its gone over £10k already, finding the parts is going to be a nightmare... Shame it happened to the 22B

 

11k now

Ends tomorrow at 8pm
