and its got rust! 😀 its a genuine scooby

hi all after all this rain weve had,i noticed that theres alot of condensation on the tailgate of my wagon...have i got a problem or is it normal? cant see how,,theres alot of water droplets even soaked carpet im thinking if its the rubber seal that gone soft and not sealing up to tailgate when closed any other members having or had the same problem thanks nic

its ok,,it was long shot with time i had to find out the height,geezer selling said couldnt find out as they were in storage...in my dolly im limited to height as it a small car and height

dont matter now,,,seller has scraped interior........bugger

hi all just wonder if these seats will fit my dolly.....im looking at wrx blobeye 2005 in black,,,but need to know the height of them thanks nic

sound like the impeller has dropt in the turbo and fins are just hitting the casing,,,,take of the air intake pipe and feel for play on the impeller spindle....hopefully you may of caught it in time

not much has happened,few new spare parts have arrived,,mainly fittings and fixings,,its has been 22years on from new......took dolly out for a drive to go and pickup some alloy wheels...v1 wrx wheels 6x15" but in very good clean condition as you can see had fun fun fun down a dirt road today aswel 😀 roll on spring so i get some welding done....only major part to do now

no no no. its covid tax...prices have all gone up over all sorts of hobbys....keep calm and carry on

impreza wagon 1998 2.0i non turbo GF8FK5R but mine is an automatic

got no idea why your is banging the floor.you might have to take a picture of yours and post it so we can look at yours...sorry i can really help you im new to scoobys

this is similar to mine on my gl 1998 model...3rd picture has numbers on it

what a b***H......the dreaded japanese rust...horrible stuff how bad is the rust? is there a local welder near you or neighbour who had skills to do it sad to hear your news

yeah had that same message to.......yeah delete without opening

well, not much has happened since last month...sorted rear light custers with new sealent leaking now stopped.been buying few parts,lower front arms,ball joints etc......but been looking at the suspension legs,they are rusty but not leaking but on the look out to replace or re-new them. so...if any one got full set of good useable suspension legs/or full set of coilovers message me please

had a problem with rear window wiper motor,seized wiper arm spindle and strip teeth on main gear caused by stuck seized spindle,replaced that with good second hand one and now its fully working,new bushes for the new front arms have arrived,gave it a wash before bad weather came.........just the welding now to do and a fuel filler pipe to get also

yes roof rails are sealed and not letting water in,,,but the rear lights are,but i knew that.....yes 1 job done

thanks jay762 😀 ive seen others on saloons do the same,cut into the tower to gain a better access to the area that need welding but first to make a brace/steady fixing...its the only way to sort out the rusty area properly and only way forward

well,had a good look at it today and im thinking of cut into the shock tower to gain access,weld up the inner section that is no longer there hense why its rust out and come thru,wheel spray has done the damage or is there another way of done it? oh and its on both sides but driver side baddest of the two.....any advice from members on this,im here and waiting anyway had more fun re-sealing the roof bar,fairly easy to take out and put in all sealed up now and water tight,used some butyl sealent,,good tacky stuff that dont dry out roof lining in and ready for finish off,,will leave rest of the plastics off till welding is done

hi all any idea how i would tackle this? there is a hole (fist size) top of shock tower nearest to outer body,anyone done these before and how would it do it thanks for now.......nic

well,,not as bad as i thought is was goner be.....few piece to be made up and also reinforce the jacking point,,,inside i also so good,light rust in places but spray kurust down it and all is covered nicely but il do another spray worth now its gone off and managed to get a air filter 3d printed air intake adapter(pic to follow)

sorted now,,,just went thought some past forum threads and got some info that good for me

hi all has anyone got a picture or pictures of the sill construction area? how it fits together or even a drawing of how it should look like

heres a few more pictures,of coarse there are few bushes that need changing on the rear,,,most of the work that needs to be done is on the rear but that how these scooby are

hi all recently i had the chance of buying a impreza wagon 1998 green auto 2.0 non-turbo....so i took the chance..not bad condition overall,good inside,engine sounds good and only done 97000 miles but it does have the dreeded rust factor mainly on rear end,top of shock towers,arch to wheel bowl,driver rear sill section inner and outer,bit on arch lip,passengers side is also sill area and arch lip but not as bad....today i found the fuel filler pipe is also gone to rusty heaven also...here is a few picture of it,,,but theres more to come when i start getting in it its a scooby😍 thanks nic

GOT ONE.....thanks nic
