I present to you the world's worst LS swap. 240SX gets a mid-engine LS but cutting out the structure of the 240 and slamming in a GM subframe.

Nothing about this is done well, correctly, or properly.

Make sure you click the link and look at the pictures. I'm shocked nobody has mentioned the "fabricated" rear strut towers.



There was a guy that did that to a Neon for Chump Car after the front end of the car was obliterated in a crash. Tossed a new Neon engine/driveline in the rear end end, turbocharged it and raced it. Thing was fast but the weight bias was all hosed up. His fabrication was way way better than that thing.

Up for sale is my beast of a Brighton.
This baby has over 360kmiles on it and haulls like no other brighton.

This thing has multiple purposes. It will fit a washer or dryer inside and still have plenty of room on the roof.
Take this thing onto a loose surface and it will drift you like a pro.
Or if you have a big big snowpile at the end of your driveway you can use this beast for plowing.
Got a friend with a stuck car? No problem! This brighton comes equipped with a tow package!

This turd has the usual rust spots but thats just it slowly lightening itself over the years.

It has one stanky wheel that is out of balance like no other at 60mph but thats ok because this monster will do 80 all day.
Its got a noisy bearing but ive been ripping on it for over a year like that and its still drummin along.

Passenger side mirror is a large convex mirror with a jiffy peanut butter lid behind it. I got it that way, it must be a dealer option or something.

It will come with steelies unless you really want those 02 wrx rims(with snows) those im asking 150 for.

Take this thing and bounce it off of trees, run it in rallyx or take it to lemons.
Only selling this gem because i got a turd forester.
Buy it, you will be happy.
Passed inspection a few months ago.

Im open to offers.

Wheels pictured are off an 02 wrx and have snow tires mounted. They are not included in the price

Condition: Beat

This has got to be the most honest CL seller I have seen posting in a long time.

Oh, wow. I had one of those as my first car, a '78. A friend rolled it over, and certain parts went to live on in a Fiat X1/9 (same basic drivetrain, but in the rear.)
No rust on mine!

Wow wait long enough, everything is here. Dad bought a Fiat 128 hatchback coupe after gas got expensive in the 75 Buick Regal and 67 Mustang, in 1979..
I drove it and loved it, carried an extra clutch cable everywhere (6K miles @ each), the battery had leaked and corroded the engine compartment to the point that the engine/transaxle would move an inch or two with each shift. First sex in a car, first interruption by a cop of sex in a car, first blown head gasket milkshake. I loved that little sewing machine motor.
Memories. Puke green oxidized paint, toy seats and token windshield wiper.

I want one again.

Badge engineered Mitsubishi Scorpion, itself a 2 door version of the Sigma.

I used to have one back in the day and it was actually a lot of fun - factory LSD, Astron 2 2.6 OHC, 5 speed, and I put side draft webers on it. It would routinely make people in contemporary S- pack Falcons feel very silly indeed.

Not one step backwards!
That seems to be a common thing with the old VW crowd. There was a regular at a local VW show who had cut about that much out of a convertible bug and painted it like the Adam West Batmobile. It had one of those big 12 inch Batman action figures epoxied onto the air cleaner. He'd putter around shows in it and chill with people.

Up here you can sell them for $3-4k if they're in good condition (i.e. Safetied and not rusted), Canada loves their Subaru's.

As long he doesn't put a ton of value in his time and it is just gaskets (and timing belt while your doing it of course) it should be pretty trivial to come out $1500-$2000+ profit.

Which for a car you can almost certainly get for <$1000 isn't bad for a a day or two of wrenching.

The listing price history of the average high mileage canadian subaru

$6000
$5000
$4000
$3500
Parting out all parts available
$2,000, no seats, front bumper, some trim missing

WRX prices have gone full retard lately. like $13,000 for an 04-05 with 200,000kms.

You can basically get a 335xi for the same price as a wrx now.

Oh dear god, the rust :stonk:

This car has a "safety" not a safety, no way in hell it passed a legitimate safety 7 months ago, both rockers are gone and the quarters are long rusted away on the inside, structural paint type of situation.

Welp, not worth it.

Nope. Not much salt used in MB, commonly see old cars/trucks still roadworthy. I moved from there to NE Ontario. I think MB uses maybe 1:10 salt: sand or something, but nothing like Onterrible.
