An 05 Baja sport with 110K
It was a repo with light body damage and a rod knock. I bought it for less than a set of nice wheels/tires :)

I already have an '11 STI shortblock coming for it, going to put it together with some boost to make a fun parts runner.
Where I got it in Pekin Il.

I kinda like those, looked at them before my forester, but the ej257 turbo 6spd is hard to find, and the body molding is less than desirable. Though the idea is spot on. Pickup car.

whats the plan, flip it?

Yes it will :) And it will be good for any rallycross events around here :)


So How's the SVO coming along?

Its coming along. I have a shed full of stuff to install over this winter. The body shop is supposedly just about done with it, its all painted and they are just working on the finish. I am heading to pick it up here in a couple weeks, everything on the body is either new or refinished so in true SVO form I have spent way more than its worth hunting down all the parts.

Good deal! I need to get mine out and all cleaned up. I need to pull the engine and re-seal it as it has sat for way too long. I am thinking of autocrossing it again next year.
Drifte- was thinking of flipping it, but I miss my old FXT, and i have a buyer lined up for my Outback, so I am going to keep the Baja. I have always liked them, the only reason I did not buy one previous was due to the lack of a middle seat belt in the back, but I have my Suburban or the escape if I need to haul extra kiddos.

You definitely need to get that thing out, it seems like there are a few SVO's running around town, I have yet to see any out and about though. It would be cool to have a local SVO cruise night next summer if there were enough interested or even get some to come out to the IAF events.

Yes I agree, I'm sure you saw the SVO Junge had for sale? Also have to get my buddy to get his Turbocoupe out.

I saw it, but have yet to see it on the road. I also see one parked off of 16th while heading to 30, it looks like it has sat a while though.

I miss my FXT to too.
