Here is the deal.....
I am debating getting rid of my 97 OBS.
note sure if it is worth the cost of the work that needs/should be done.
The car will need a clutch soon I am guessing(within 10K or so) I had it "glide" up in revs on a steep hill at about 2500rpm only when floored for 1/2 a second but i have had subaru's before and that is how it started.So item 1 new clutch/mabey flywheel?
Next, It has a rust hole in rear of left rear wheelwell..Anyone know how much it might cost to repair (new pannel installed vs patching?)
Plus yes, the roof still leaks a bit from where the roof rack was. It need to be stripped and sealed again. I did in once but did not strip the paint and it is unedr the paint where the problem is.( the leak is now Very minor it just drips through the unibody-ie the rear rust spot.)
I know that if i had the tools and acces to a mig welder i could fix most of this stuff but I Dont have a shop anymore and very little time due to school and work.
I LOVE THIS CAR. THE ENGINE IS STILL super solid! and it handels GREAT.
Note if i cannot fix this car I WILL SELL IT Cheap.(under 2k)
note:
I have 2 sets of wheels tyres as well. 15" with snow tyres and 16 WRX rims with Avons BOTH have less than 5k on them!!!
Thanks for any help/input....
