Vegablade Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Alright Sunday a lady from church said she had a Subaru that i could have, FOR FREE!!! So me and my friends went over yesterday and checked it out. It had been sitting for a while so lots of green stuff. We didnt have an extra battery so we came back later that day with one and after about a minute of cranking and unsticking the gas pedal she was purring like a kitten. Was sitting for about 4 years. The Specs 1983 Subaru GL Sedan 2WD 5-Speed The Good Great running motor! Interior is intact and relatively clean Almost $2000 in reciepts in the glove box for the last 40,000 miles. 5-Speed transmission The Bad Transmission doesn't like to shift, does not seem to be properly disengaging Also transmission will not shift into first, have to start in second. No carpets. Other missalaneous stuffs The Ugly Rust everywhere!!! Holes in trunk - Rust Holes in fenders - Rust Holes in underside - Rust I cant stress how bad the rust is but the car runs exellent.

#89 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Check the structurals for safety (for example: fuel tank, shock towers, subframe mounting points, engine mount points, 'Flintstone brake' floors...). A can of POR-15 or even 'over the counter' 'rust converting catalyst' goes a long way to slow down any additional oxidation. Then... get a tetanus shot, drive it into the ground, sell the bumper!
