DeadBlack Forester build

[99StockGT]

Well picked this thing up down in northern kentucky a couple weeks ago because it just needed to happen. Can't have some free time without another project car right? So here's the story. Car was repo'd from one state, sold in another state to a guy in another state, then purchased by us...from yet another state. Are you following?

 

Per the ad it ran but smoked, upon arrival we discover that it runs WITHOUT the turbo on it but smokes...which is an interesting experience if no one has seen/heard one just running an up pipe into the hood. So, load it onto the flat bed and bring her the 3 hours home.

 

Needless to say, she's not in a healthy state so the engine has come out for an inspection and most likely rebuild. At this point everything is up in the air, we ARE building this car for sale so... if someone wants to step forward to speak for the car we'll build to suit. Otherwise we will do whatever crazy ideas we and the community come up with and sell it afterwards. So here we go!

We have been kicking around the idea of doing an offroad/baja version of one of these. Lift it, put some crazy muddy tires on it, guards and plates, roof rack and spare wheel... unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much of a market for something like that and it just becomes yet another "Shop Toy"

 

But, if some one wants to go that way we are more than willing to build it! Would be nice to do something lifted for a change other than the standard jeeps/trucks!
