I really should have started one of these when I got my forester 2 years ago! Oh well... :shrug:
Background:
Bought nearly stock in 2014 with 84k from and older gentleman. It was a one owner car from the Boston area.
Since I bought it it has had a few issues. I have replaced the center differential, rear wheel bearings, rear differential, rear CV's and passenger front CV, timing belt, water pump, thermostat, radiator hoses, PCV valve, as well as many rusty nuts and bolts along the way and other things I'm forgetting. A rust spot on the driver rear quarter panel was repaired and both bumper covers were resprayed.
When I got this car it was pretty rusty, the previous owner rarely washed it. It had the famous Subaru rear quarter rust which has since been repaired. The whole underside has been undercoated with POR-15 (I spent way too much time doing this).

Here it is in its current state:
I'll be editing and adding pictures when I have some free time.
