If you have time to work on it, pick up that salvage WRX in Tahoe, and parts from Rancho Cordova... Probably put that together for under $7K
Bugeyes are still in the $13k+ range for an '02 WRX, more if you buy from a dealer.

And unless Bob can do the repair work for super cheap (bordering on free), it'll cost more to rebuild that car than to buy a non-salvage car, and when the work's done, it'd still be a salvage titled car. Besides, that car's a two time totalled car... who knows what condition it'll be in once it's torn apart.
