Cut out the rust to good metal and weld in new

On the uo side I know I can't afford it 😔 on the down side I can't afford it 😪😪😪😪

Brakes pipes are easy to sort, emissions might come down enough if you take it for a good run and get it hot just before its due for testing, the welding can always be sorted just depends how bad it is and how much time and money you want to spend

First thing is note the codes down and then clear them, then see if they come back on, they dont seem to point to a misfire. If you've changed plugs, leads, coil make sure you have firing order correct if so so try compression test

You've done better than me ,I've managed to snap a few, but at least I've not bust the trim but then plan to have it on road this summer has changed a little 😪😪

Getting there and looking good, now you have tell how you got the window trims off so I can remove mine without breaking them 🤔

I've removed this lot And added a bit of colour

Drivers sill now finished

Looking good 👍

It's been a long slow process as it wasn't just the outers, when the sills are finished I'll have used 2 sheets of 3x2 and 1 arch repair panel (thanks savage). But I can now see light at the end of tunnel, just hope it's not train coming 😯

That's the back end nearly finished now for the sills

Started to fill and prime

Thanks I feel a bit better about it now

Thanks savage I've got alkatec running mafless with added air temp sensor in the inlet

Anyone? I'm guessing it was done when new ECU was fitted

Had a few more hours of cutting, grinding and welding and thought it would be a good idea to buy a vf43 to replace the td04 😁😁

Also check throttle cable not sticking and runs freely

This weekend we have gone from thisto this

You should get coolant out of that bleed, with engine off bleed open fill coolant to top should push air out if that dont work try having it vacuum bled

The top of the 2 pipes for the heater looks like it has a bleed valve on it, loosen it and see if you get coolant coming from it

Good morning Not a lot of time for the Subaru this last 18 month or so😪, but was poking about the other day and found this and was wondering if anyone could shed light on why its disconnected. Thanks Neil

What tidy said

It will blow cold if no water in, you need to make sure you have no leaks and fill and bleed the cooling system so there is no air trapped before you go any further

I think the stat is on bottom front left of engine, I would check it if only one hose is getting hot

Luckily the strut mounts are in one piece it's JUST 🤔 the inner arches, outer arches, sills, bumper mounts and a bit on the rear panel . It's been off road about 18 month so far, only took it off road for a week to sort a bit of a bubble under paint 😱
