March 23, 200818 yr well i finally got her up and runnin and fixed the coolant hose prob. thanks for the advice guys here are some pics of Rex and all of its $225 gloary just need a new axle now!
March 23, 200818 yr Nice score...... Dont forget, I got mine for $450 almost 5yrs ago. Now I have about $2500 into it And worth every penny :-p
March 23, 200818 yr Author yea it has some bad cancer. even worse in the back but im very pleased with it so far. :cool:
March 23, 200818 yr Nice find. I got my RX for $350. Replaced the head gaskets and wheel bearing...no problems since. Well, it has the TOD but you know how that goes.
March 23, 200818 yr Author thats one thing i have noticed about this car. no tod. (knocks on wood) its only got 166*** thats not that much to me considering my dl had 280***
March 23, 200818 yr did you buy that from a guy named Brian? (Black/African-American if it helps/matters)
March 23, 200818 yr Author actually i bought it from his friend she used to be my aunt through marriage why do you know a little bit about this car cause i wanna know were it came from small world lol more like Spokane it used to be his though he approached me and asked me if i wanted to buy it. my best friend lives next door and he is over there quiet a bit
March 23, 200818 yr Thats not bad rust...I could fix that in a day or 2 no problem. Nice score! Nice Car!
March 23, 200818 yr Author the real bad stuff is actually in the back there is a cancer hole about 2 inches i right by the license plate is. im a total noob when it comes to rust repair.
March 23, 200818 yr Thats not bad..as long as its good undernieth the rest is cosmetic and ( for me) a pretty easy fix. But I live in the rust belt so ..its kind of a genetic thing we have here:grin:. I have fixed alot worse. Just yesterday we gave someone a crash corse in body repair ( see my thread about hatchsubs sedan)
March 23, 200818 yr Author yea i saw it too bad your not closer i lack a major tool i think. a welder other than the rust and a bad axle its a really good car. so far. (knocks on wood)
March 23, 200818 yr Actually..the welder was only used on the rebuild of the rocker. The metal on Subarus is so thin the in many cases pop-rivetting ( correctly) and filler is all that is needed.. You take up close pics of the rust and I could give you easy ways of fixing it. That car is too pretty to let the rust have its way.
March 23, 200818 yr Author oh i know i had no intentions of letting it rust away thats why i bought it ill try to get some detailed pics tommorw when its light outside, after the oil change, im just not that great at bodywork but i do have friends that have schooling in that area, but i feel its my car i wanna be able to say LOOK I FIXED IT!
March 23, 200818 yr Well thats what we are here for..to help you achieve that " Look I Fixed It " level .. I am debating myself about stepping into some new territory and doing a structural repair on my XT6 ( Frame rails)
March 23, 200818 yr Author yea i think i remember you posting about that car. well good luck with that from what i have seen you deff. know what your doing. hopfully soon i will have a rust free $225 Rx i have a feeling there is gonna be alot of rust under the rear spoiler and the ground affects kit:rolleyes:
March 24, 200818 yr Author BUCKY well i said i would post some pics after my oil change today. got that done and my old stero installed in rex today here is rex's, Less Flatering side. http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h229/lowjt/Jordan021.jpg http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h229/lowjt/Jordan022.jpg http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h229/lowjt/Jordan020.jpg http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h229/lowjt/Jordan026.jpg The last one is on the fender. sorry for the poor quality
March 24, 200818 yr Most of it looks pretty easy...Backwoodsboy found the wheel arches somewhere..cheap like $35 each..The back I could fix in a couple hours...Bring it over I will fix it for you. Here is an example of what I have done: Before...really bad patch job..undernieth..nothing..not even floor: After..just a temp patch pop-rivetted and bondo: Then repaint: What rotted out quarter??: You CAN do this..just take your time..ask questions....always remember..if us girls can do it..so can you;)
March 24, 200818 yr Author i think i can do it. its just im totaly new to body work i think i might inlist the help of some of my friends that go to school for body work. too bad you dont live in state other wise i would drive to you
March 25, 200818 yr Author well i went to my friends house today to make some headway on the rust. last night after posting i found a huge hole in the trunk area where the muffler would be on the out side so i decided that exaust fumes were not too good in a car. so i fixed it today heres some pics. i hope i did it right............... http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h229/lowjt/jordan002.jpg http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h229/lowjt/jordan003.jpg http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h229/lowjt/jordan004.jpg http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h229/lowjt/jordan007-1.jpg The blue paint says its rust preventive i hope so its all i had.............
