m0bzy Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 I have never intended to own a Subaru nor any other Japanese car come to that . However I have been given one. It belonged to a friend of mine now deceased and has been garaged for the last three years. I know its an Impreza , I also know its a two litre turbo , other than that I know nowt , when I get the keys and open the garage I shall know more , do these things rot?

Steve Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Firstly welcome to Midland ScoobiesSecondly. Yes they do rot ! Like all cars eventuallyDependng on the model/year and how it has been looked after will determine how much and where they rot. Mine is 15 years old and is rust free for example. But i have similar age cars that are pretty much dropping to bits !Get some picture up as soon as you can. Also lift the bonnet and take a picture of the VIN plate. It is located on the near side turret . Post a pic and I can tell you more about the make and model of your car.Who knows it could be a 22B Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0bzy Posted November 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 With the help of Google I am a little more educated , I think mine is a four door and it defiantly does not have a 747 landing strip on the boot lid.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichRB320 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Welcome mate....We could all have a guess what the car is (just for fun)Assuming its a classic it would be nice if its an RB5 or Series Mcrae etc.... but I'll guess Turbo 2000!

m0bzy Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Well at last things are moving , I now have the keys and paperwork , I still have to drag it out of its garage so I don't know how well its survived the last few years , then I have to defeating the Thatcham alarm , after putting a new battery on.What I do know is the VIN number if Steve can interpret I will be much obliged. :JF1GF8KD3WG028823.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Have you got the applied model code ? Its on the same plate as the VIN and will probably start GC8........Certainly a 1998 model anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0bzy Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 No,I lifted the VIN from the V5 and despite having all the Subaru paper work all I can find is Impreza Turbo 2000 AWD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0bzy Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Its only taken three months but at last the car is out of the garage where it has spent over three years , it seems to have survived reasonably well , there is some rust on both rear arches and there is corrosion on the wheels. Almost everything works , the engine check light has come on , although it was not on on start up so that will need sorting , then as long as there are no nasties hiding underneath its off for a MOT.
