    Thanks for the inspiration
    I'll try and look at it this weekend
    I need someone to step on the brakes while I'm looking so I can see where it's leaking from

    I've got the forester for sale on my local Subaru forum
    Not sure if I'll get any buyers though, the forums pretty dead

    So 2 people (both mechanics) came to look at the car but 1 was looking to flip it and liked everything but too much rust for him and the other was buying for his 16 year old daughter and surprise surprise she wasn't a big fan of it (its not really a 16 year old girl kinda car lol)

    I ended up getting a ticket since it was dead on the street beside my house for 2 months but the first guy to come look at it worked for Subaru and he said I should check the shift cable. I crawled underneath the next day and bam, right there, was no cable! It must have snapped and came off the last time I drove it. I manually fiddled with the lever on the transmission under the car and figured out what position each gear was and once I found park it started right up. I crawled back under and switched it to drive and there I was driving the beast for the first time in months. Even though the brakes are done and it hadn't moved in 2 months (rainiest summer on history) they didn't even make any noise.

    I have since moved it to the garage and I'm going to start parting it out. I've had people asking me for parts since I posted it for sale. I drilled a hole in the floor and rigged up a coat hanger shifter. It's super classy and no more crawling under ther car 2 times every time I want to drive it

    Its officially gone
    After a couple months of fielding emails from out of towners and kids that dont know what they're talking about I had a junker come take it away
    I took off as many parts as I could to keep the car looking complete
    All the stuff that came with the car that I kept
    - JDM alloys
    - Spoiler
    - Extended arm rest
    - Unused never seen the light of day full size spare
    - unused jack and crank
    - OEM rubber trunk mat
    - OEM sport model carpet mats
    - a bunch of little clips,hooks and interiors bits
    - all the badges from the trunk and grill
    - Fog light covers
    - key and fob
    - the lightbar and lights (didn't originally come with the car)

    I already have a local guy who want the spoiler and extended arm rest.
    Alot of the other stuff should sell pretty easily or I'll keep some of it

    Here are the last pictures I took when I started trying to sell it.













    I had moved it from the garage to my yard beside the house so it was starting to look pretty ghetto
    Here's the final look I had as it was taken away. The tow driver really liked my coat hanger shifter mod
    Easy cash in my pocket and a large weight off my shoulders
    Not sorry its gone but sad to see it go. That was 4 good years out of a $2000 car that I did zero maintenance to during my ownership
