Evening folks.
I am now the proud owner of most of a Subaru. I say most as there isn't a lot left of the rear wings.
It's okay, that's the least of its problems. It's the not going or stopping that need getting first.
To be fair, I haven't given a lot for it and we'll see where I get with it.
It's been a local car and must have been a bit of a dog for a while so some of you are bound to know it.
A pointer in the direction of where you all get your parts from may be a help.
See you all around.
Tah
Steve.

First job is try to cure misfire with plugs and coil pack.
Actually that's second job after a new tyre.

I'm over near to Whitley Bay. Yes I know that's the wrong side of the water to a lot of you.
Have been in the Newton Grange before on a group night, quite a canny turn out you get.

There's a very good guide to posting photos at the very top of the photos section .. I'd post the link but I'm on my phone at the moment and the link may be different

It didn't even get as far as Longbenton on way home. Left it at work in Newcastle as the noooooooo brakes scared me a little.

I need to put a tyre on it first. Was busy trying to stop it stalling out and missed a lump of something hard in the road.
Tyre, brakes and I'm hoping plugs or coil pack are the first jobs.
