There's a good group of us in the springs now. We started tearing into this thing yesterday. Needless to say it's seen better days but we are gonna give it some tlc and hopefully have it top notch in next couple days. Found holes in lots of oil/coolant/pcv hosing. Dried and cracked hoses everywhere. exterior is beautiful. Interior and engine bay are a smidge dirty.

We pretty much knew it leaked oil and coolant everywhere. So far here is the repair list we will have completed when it's all said and done:
Valve cover gaskets
Mobil 1 synthetic oil and filter
Radiator and upper/lower hoses
Coolant flush
Thermostat and gasket
Spark plugs and wires
Replace broken hoses
Turbo coolant and oil hoses
Wrx metal coolant tank
Misc. interior vents/trim
Plasti dip ugly white rims black until aftermarket set

It's an automatic right now. I'm going to 5spd swap it this summer. The interior is in pretty good condition other than the passenger seat which is a little torn up, but eventually I'm gonna throw some sti seats in it and it'll be lookin great.

Looks good. Summer time is a good time to do a swap. Especially in your neck of the woods, burrrrrrrr.

Well took us a couple late nights in a garage while it's -15 out day and night we got it running and not over heating!
Replaced 99.9% of all the hoses, what a pita!! Got everything done on the list above and more. Just need to work out a couple other things like a cel that just popped up(will read when it's warmer out) and we gotta clean the crap outta the engine bay from all the nasty crap sprayed everywhere that is continually burning off and smoking

This car looked ten times better after it got a bath lol. Super excited to have another t-leg cruising the streets with us during the summer!
