I have been a member since Feb. 09 but never got around to do a members rides thread. I’ve spent most of my time on this forum just reading post after post of good info, thanks guys.
The business:
Scrapped: I bought a 99 Outback, Green off Craigslist in Feb. 09 for $500. The headgaskets were getting ready to go but it was drivable (3 mile commute never overheated). It was an auto with 180,000 on the clock but I had decided on doing all the work myself with the help of a friend.
I wanted a 5spd but couldn’t find one in my price range which was free to 500…lol. So I drove the auto around for six months then we decided to fix the headgaskets. It was our first time pulling a motor out of a suby -->cake.
New Blood: 98 Outback Limited from Craigslist again, can't get enough.
