Oh why not, I'll start a journal of my own, to start off I just got my license in January and was drivin my Dad's 99 GMC Suburban for a while and he wanted to get rid of it, he knew I liked Subarus and (smart man) knew it had to be a manual or I wouldn't take it, he found this one on Craigslist
The next day we called the kid sellin it and we went and looked at it, he agreed to let us put it on the lift to see underneath and m dad and I both test drove it, It was really clean except for the back hatch where it looked like someone did a bad job putting a window in it, pics later, it ran good, drove good, we made a deal for $3000. Before you go sayin "Daddy bought your car" yes he did buy it...but he certainly didn't hand it to me, I've always helped him with everything at the shop and at home, he felt I had earned it. That being said, I couldn't leave it alone
The day I pulled er into the shop
Only real rust that was on it
Wheels before I painted em
Wheels after lower body color paint
Mounted on the car with some 215/65/16 Cooper Weather Masters
That's the suburban I was driving before the Foz)
New gate, same color, no rust-$50 at Vince's U-Pull it
Finally got it on the road and started buildin this for it
Tow hook reinforcements
Recovery Shackles
400 miles into ownership she let go
New one
Resurfaced fly wheel
Current specs: 1999 SF5 Forester S with EJ253 2.5 liter engine with 5 speed manual transsmission
Modifications: Color Matched wheels, 215-65-16 tires, Advanced Auto Parts air horn kit, Home made brush guard with driving lights
Future Plans: 04 STi engine, tranny, rear diff, front and rear suspension and subframes and STi guage cluster with Harness merge by i-Wire, CB radio coming soon, Hopefully STi seats if I can find a good deal, Going for the sleeper look from the outside
