Well, it's close to a year now... seen rust issues and learned how to grind them out, sand, rust treat, primer, and paint. Next up is bondo for some holes in the bumper cover. Then, I need to fix the sheet metal of one rear door. I am going to be a bit of a rat rod which is cool. To buy a new rear d...

Got an oil change on my Legacy (went with Maxlife full Synthetic cuz my Dad said it might extend the engine life), then I bought plugs, wires, and a fuel filter.

I hate the local Subaru dealership. But I will go if I must. He also found a small oil leak up front, said we might need t...

Hi, I have been working for 2 years to save for my first car. Got my license a month ago, and today, I bought a 95 Subaru Legacy L Sedan with 200k miles on it.
