The brakes are replaced already ( Thanks for offer of parts)... it'll be some time before we are road-worthy to go that far north, but hopefully in the Fall (my favorite time up in Prescott)! I appreciate the blow-out diagram of the shift assembly, we don't have a Haynes manual yet, just the Chilton's. Scarily enough, my car is well over 225,000 (90K on a re-built engine, according to the seller), but the engine is strong as can be. Immediate problem is now shift linkage and possibly an exhaust issue we haven't pinned down...could be baffles, or something in catalytic converter. Hoping to tackle one priority after another, cosmetics last. Could take time, we live off a teacher's income!

This last week I changed the air filter and assisted my old man with changing the rear brakes, which were squeaking like crazy. Turned out the previous owner had just put on some used break pads, they were for the front, not rear, and in the process he or she had broken the break caliper clip on one side, so it was flopping all over the place. The other side, the pad was to the metal. God only knows how long it was this way! I think my baby was abused Gonna try to bring her back to former glory, but with my bank account, it's gonna be one little thing at a time. Next on deck: Shifter assembly. Flops around like a sock in a dryer....
BTW, the manual diagram for the shift linkage is pretty lame. Anyone know where I can find better shots of one going in? I looked in the posts, didn't find much online other than pics of other shifters, that may not have even been for my make/model.

If fact the rat trades poison for trash, he leaves a subaru relay (i assume it came from my parts box) in the dish and takes all the poison, sometimes he leaves a piece of dog poo, but theres always something left in the dish. So apparently I have a rat immune to poison who thinks a subaru relay and a dog turd is a fair trade for some rat poison.
! This rat sounds like a genius. Maybe if you leave him some plutonium, he'll trade you for some Subaru parts you need, that don't already belong to you!

BTW, I cannot figure out how to connect photos from my album to the posts. when I want to insert a photo, I'm asked for URL. I went back to my profile, but couldn't find info. I do have an album containing current pics of my car. What'd I miss? Thx.

My hatch has been hit before, by the look of it, on the left side, close to tail bumper. The guy tried to bondo it, but didn't do a great job. It was left primer grey, to make matters worse. The plastic "runner" on bumper was also broken, so it is missing a piece. Overall, not the prettiest part of the car. Both rear tail-lights have damage. Anyone have any suggestions for replacing the tail lights? I live on a pretty tight budget (don't we all), and was wondering if junk yards are my only option. The cosmetics are going to have to wait until I address the sloppy shifter and brakes anyway. I'd LOVE my car to look even remotely like yours, monkeyposeur!

Well, "rain" is subjective here in the desert, but the roads still get pretty slick. I've never had AWD vehicles before, so I was pretty impressed, also considering that the brakes in back still need to be changed. It took to the road conditions like a champ. It has small, kinda racey lookin' tires on it, nothing fancy (the tread seems to go in reverse), and no hubcaps yet. All in all, its "virgin voyage" on a 65 mile round trip through town went well!

I washed it, vacuumed it, prayed over it, armour-alled it, then took it for a 60 mile round-trip voyage in a rainstorm. I took the freakin' rack off the roof...had to plug up the rack holes with putty before the rainstorm, of course. Little steps.
What'd you do to your FIRST Gen. Subaru today?
