I pulled out of the driveway and headed for the gas station since it was on "E". When I turned the corner I hit a pot hole and heard a big clunk. The guy failed to mention the only thing actually wrong with the car...the suspension. The front swaybar was snapped, passenger side ball joint was toast, and struts were OEM. The overheating/head problem the guy was having was actually an air bubble due to the new radiator he had installed himself and a plugged heater core.
After several trips to the junkyard just about everything is fixed or upgraded. Here's the list.
$50.00 - Car
$13.50 - Front swaybar and new roof rack (old one had bent cross bars
$20.50 - New ball joint
$130.00 - Complete strut assemblies and rear swaybar from 98 Outback
$13.00 - JDM Power folding mirrors
$175.00 - New 205/70/15 tires and rims
$15.19 - Oil change
