Florin1 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Got 2 99 outbacks w/ BHG's. I bought them to flip them, but got very busy at work, and theres no end in sight. So i just dont have time to do it myself. Is there anybody that's got the skills and time? I live in Lynnwood, Wa. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I do these all the time - but I'm down in Portland. Were you wanting to fix them or sell them as-is to someone that can do the repair? If you remove the guts from the thermostat they will typically drive fine if the HG failure isn't too horrible. I've had a couple people drive their cars down to me from Seattle using that method. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbennett2u Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 If I lived in WA and needed anyone to work on my car I would SERIOUSLY hit up GD for the work, he definitely knows what he is doing on subies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.radon Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I could do them, I work on soob's all the time (my own fleet). PM me. I live between Lynnwood, and Mill Creek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmmagow Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 SteelSeal. Used in My old Mazda (still ok after three years) and in my Son's 318 Dodge truck. Fine. Don't know if it'll work OK in suby, but for a turn around it would probably be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I can do them as well. PM me if your interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florin1 Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 The car wouldn't make it to Portland. I barely made it 12 miles. Had to pull over 3 times to let it cool. I gutted the thermostat, and filled it with water and it just poked it out in 6 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I have a trailer and I can tow them (one at a time) for about $150 each (gas and labor). You would save considerably more than that as "services" in general are about 32% lower priced here in the Portland than Seattle and I charge about 60% or less of what shops in my area charge. So for a $2500 job in Seattle I am usually around $1200. Ballpark of course..... I also typically replace more parts and use better quality ones than most shops.

Florin1 Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Maybe we can work out a deal? As in i give you one of the outbacks, the one of less value, and you do mine plus some cash? If you're interested, we can talk on the phone and i can fill you in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Yeah that sounds like something I would be interested in. I'll send you a PM with my info. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florin1 Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 Bump this thread back up. Looking for someone local. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I'm still local and can do the work. I even sell the head gasket kits through the shop I work for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
