Another possible noob with a few questions!
Hello welcome, have you looked at any imports ? Generally the shells are in better condition.as they haven't been exposed to as many salty winters, obviously a good underseal is a must, they cost a little more to insure but come with a few more goodies and slightly more power. The rust is a pain but if your coming from mk1 mx5 ownership least you shouldn't have to worry about the sills, As for the fans on the car could be down to a loose wire or could be something more sinister, did any of the fans kick in at any point on he test drive ? As for a headliner missing it's a bit odd, has the car had a roll cage in at some point ? Loads of cars being broken so picking up a replacement shouldn't be too hard

front suspension alignment advice
Yes 4 wheel alignment will be fine , I've just used chap who although he doesn't have the latest kit but he knows what he's doing his 4 wheel alignment does camber caster and toe etc charged the the grand total of 40 quid as long as you get someone who knows how to use the kit you'll be fine, Kwik fit near me have a hunter but they cant use it properly and they'll charge a ton for the privilege

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Useful things tow bars ! I imagine the bar would have spread the load evenly so there may not be any structural damage, I wrote off an a class merc when some idiot student decided to try and park her car on the end of mine :-D van wasn't even damaged

Head Gasket gone on 2.0 Subaru Legacy 1997 twin turbo
Have a look at www.importcarparts.co.uk for bolt and gasket prices, theres many to choose from depending so that will give you an idea, I'd say a day to strip down and rebuild all being well also depends if theyremove the motor, (ideal world where your mechanic can just work on yours) if I'm wrong I'm sure somome will correct me, Head skimming cost me £ 25.00 last time I had one done, not sure about this but you may not be able to have the head skimmed again. And you'll have to taKe into account theres a pair of heads on a subaru so the other side may need to be done as not to effect the compression, again I may be wrong. I know of a forester being done at the mo, he's not expecting much change from £900

Fan belt slipping and pully jamming
Boo, saying that you'd need a sit down after hearing the price of a major service for a main dealer, may be worth having a look online for someone who knows their onions, my local one's an 80mile round trip but worth it for the expertise, I wss in same position hardly any histiory etc so had cambelt and all pulleys & tensioners done along with a major service
