Hello! I just bought a WRX at 14! It needs shifter bushings, motor mounts, and exhaust work.
My friend tried to talk his dad into letting him buy an old Chevrolet truck to fix up at 14 YO to have a decent truck at age 16. He even had a job to pay his way.
His dad knew temptation to drive it as an unlicensed driver would be strong and he shot it down.
This was back in 1977 - his dad was probably right.
Good luck with your build - No late night test drives.
Good start.
Polish those headlights and make it reliable.
While this forum is the best on the internet, NASIOC is probably the best for your specific needs.
Please don't go for Bro speed yet, just make it a decent car.
I don't know if I mentioned it yet, but my dad has a red 06' Limited wagon 5MT. It blew a head gasket! 114K Mi, rusty.
Haven't done much with the car lately as I've been at school, But I did install a stereo. Still plan to keep the car for a number of years, because It's a great car! One more problem that showed up is the speedometer and odometer don't work.
I'm in the process of teaching someone how to drive stick on it! It's actually a great car to do it on, and you can hear it easily. The clutch is a little hard though. The list of things it needs are tires, the speedometer and odometer don't work, and the misfire, and an exhaust. It's gonna be my "First" Car!
