skwon Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Hello all, Just picked this boy up for $500 yesterday. It is rough and needs "some" work, but drives very nicely This car is my first AWD, first Subaru, first rusty car. I still need to check the top of the struts...fingers crossed. on the bright side, it has a new clutch and new head gasket. http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL2077/12714170/24846506/414320024.jpg http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL2077/12714170/24846506/414320031.jpg http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL2077/12714170/24846506/414320032.jpg http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL2077/12714170/24846506/414320033.jpg http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL2077/12714170/24846506/414320028.jpg http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL2077/12714170/24846506/414320027.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern1 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I recently bought the same car. Better shape than yours but it does need new struts, F-L CV Boot assembly and steering rack. My 1st Subaru too. Love the AWD and it's got a bit of a roar to the engine once you hit 4000 RPMs (think my exhaust is aftermarket too), sporty though not as much as Imprezas. 270,000K and hopefully it will survive a while longer.

skwon9642 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Did some cleaning over the weekend. The air vents, cup holder and hazard switch was all very sticky and wasn't moving freely, so I took everything apart and cleaned them. Now they are all smooth and works nicely! Also the center console and front storage area was FILTHY so I cleaned that as well. Took off the rear seats and cleaned the underside. There was dog hair everywhere Next on the list: 1. Rust repair - grind down all the rust, sand, POR15 in under side areas, body filler and paint over the quarter panel. 2. Exhaust - it literally has no exhaust, so I am looking for a cheap exhaust solution. Any recommendations appreciated! 3. New brake rotors and pads - recommendations appreciated!

HiiiFiii Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 The entire face/vents of the center dash was sticky on my 98 Outback wagon when I got it, as well. Never understood the logic behind hanging a beverage holder above electronics and in within spill zone of the HVAC system....... Rusty but trusty (I hope).
