So why don't you find the places to get parts before you buy it?

If you don't know where to get parts or how to fix it yourself I doubt you will save much, if any, by taking on such a project.

Its not that easy to find Evo body parts, at least not OEM. You can buy fleebay bumpers, or certifit bumpers, but none will line up like OEM.

I dont think its worth your time and money. How much are you expecting to get this Evo for? Im assuming its a salvage auction, are you a licensed rebuilder?

Yea man, you may get in over your head and it become a money pit. We all know that's no fun.

It shows you haven't done any homework when seven words from a stranger, over the internet, change your mind on a large purchase like that.

Define dirt cheap. That will be the deciding factor.

You could easily get $1000 parting it out. Hell if all wheels are in good shape there is ~$400 already. Low mileage motor, tranny, turbo, not to mention all the small stuff like pump, injectors, head parts that swap straight into a DSM.

You will make more than that parting it out. If you dont care about cheap bumpers you can always try certifit or fleebay.

Where was it hit?

1k for an EVO, man, i'll get it, strip it down, and make it into a drag car. If not, i'll convert it into the Evo 9 MR. Is the Evo at the auction an Evo 8?
