Thanks for the reply , I guess I'm kind of after on with problems as I want to learn :) and love getting things back up and running. How expensive are parts ? Can u strip down and rebuild a engine fairly easily? I'm guessing it is a long time consuming process but is it technically difficult ? I have seen a few on ebay that have problems but how expensive of a problem I do not know. :) I'm just a keen learner but have no idea what model to go with as there are so many different models and years of manufacturing wish I assume can make a massive difference in part prices and weather or not you can easy obtain them at a breakers yard.

Hi all I have just stumbled across you forums and have to say it is a great source of information :) I am after a little bit of advice really, Im looking a project I can do with my 6 year old son, neither of us have any knowledge about cars (although I work as heating engineer so have a decent gasp of mechanical and electrical systems) . My son really loves the look of subaru's (sega rally) and I was thinking of get a low budget one (£500-£750) Im guessing these are thrashed and have quite a few problems ? I'm looking for something that is not going to be a huge money pit and something that is easy to work on,(would love to learn about turbos as well). Would a subaru fit the bill ? thanks in advance for any info :)
