That's just me though. Good luck with the project and welcome! Not that I'm really around...

Swapping into something like a '94 L would be pretty affordable (and smogable), but probably still cost significantly more than repairing the WRX. Plus, there's a much higher chance of ending up with a basketcase car if the swap ended up with gremlins.

But you would end up with a faster car, that's cheaper to insure. Plus the cool factor of a pre-bugeye turbo Impreza.
