3 grand and a 97 leg GT

CarpenterAWD · 01-31-2006, 10:43 AM

I dunno if this would be the right section for this, so feel free to move it...
I have a 97 leg GT with a messed up A-pillar and windshield. I have approx 1 grand to spend now, and in a few months ill have about 3 grand and cant decide on what to do....
Should i fix the a-pillar and new windshield and then rebuild my motor and turbocharge it....
Sell the body as is and keep my motor/tranny and get a 2door impreza shell....
Sell my car and buy a 2door 2.5RS and turbo charge it....
or, get a 2.2 impreza 2door and swap the engines and keep my leg as a rally/mess around with car and boost the 2door 2.5.....

If any of you know how much any of that would cost or have any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated, or if you have any other ideas that would be great too. also, if i end up getting a impreza shell which was an automatic, will i have to get a new wiring harness to suit my manual tranny

any and all info is greatly apprecialted, thanks guys!!

What did you do, roll it over? Get as much as you can for the car and get a new car, it's not worth it to do anything you mentioned.
