Overall that thing looks to be in great shape! A little bit of rust repair in some places, looks pretty solid really tho. And it looks real straight too. Looking forward to seeing what you will produce out of this!

it really is super straight given the year and the fact that it is a subaru. This will be my greatest creation yet. :brow:

Looks super solid, much better than the wagon I just finished welding back together.... I can't wait to see some progress on this one!

That's what I was thinking when I bought it. It just has a couple of small patches of rust. Not bad at all for a 35 year old subaru.

I got some more work finished on the coupe yesterday. I also found a surprise under the rear seats.

I'll keep stripping and cleaning then comes the patch work.;)

Uhhhhh, rust sucks.... I feel for you buddy. I'm terrified of what I might find when I crack open my '75 to start the resto.

Hey Pooparu, that rust usually comes from a leaking rear window seal. The water leaks down and is then soaked up by the rear seat cushion/foam. Because the foam is relatively deep the water never dries out and rust starts it's usual process of attacking metal...

 

Does not look too bad on your coupe and I am surprised by the state to the front cowl! This is the usual rust area...

Stop your crying and get to work !! :-p:headbang:

 

Waaaggggghhhh , I've got rust ...... :popcorn:

 

That car doesn't desreve my incredibly beautiful rear seat. Make it so Number 1 , make it so.

 

:D

 

Talk to you soon. I'm really going to get those seats out , but its too hot today and back to work tomorrow night. I'll get working on them this week.
