I'll show mine too then. This is my 3rd scooby and I owned it for almost a year now. Nothing fancy, just a standard UK2000 wagon with 84k on the clock and no mods apart from high flow cat and Prodrive back box used for carrying family around.
That looks in great condition. I had my MY00 wagon die of rust on me very recently KimJongHealthy said:
I've been looking for unmolested one for ages, even got factory cassette player with it. It's mostly rust free, there's a tiny bulge under the paint on one rear arch, I'm planning to sort it before autumn so it doesn't rot through.
I'd get it sorted sooner rather than later. My arches went from looking very good bar a bubble or two to absolutely hideous in seemingly no time at all, I was using it year round in NE Scotland though. Despite the awful arches it was actually the rotting suspension turrets that made it an uneconomical repair.KimJongHealthy said:
I stay in Scotland so it rains here all year long, I'll take a look at those then, thanks for advice.
Any idea how much I could expect for rear arches? I was hoping that one of those dent/chip repair garages could handle it without respraying entire panel + one next to it to match the colour.
Not a chance I'm afraid. The problem is that once rust is visible on the outside, it is likely much worse up the inside. Rust is like a cancer and is very hard to get rid of unless ALL corroded metal is cut out and new metal is welded in. It's a difficult job and thus for a permanent repair I've always been led to believe it would be four figures.Any idea how much I could expect for rear arches?

It saddens me as I'd love another classic but it seems almost all UK ones have rust to some degree. A fresh Japanese import might be the solution I ultimately go for.

I doubt that very much unless that included other works. £600 or so should see rust cut out and a good repair done properly. CoolFool said:

Sweet!!!!! What made you want to roll the coal in a Impreza?
Never been on the drag strip before, so decided to give it a go at a charity event for Melanoma (SP?).The Soot is just a combination of build up in the exhaust, Launch Control, Anit-Lag and hitting the limiter, causing a huge backfire and blasting the soot out the exhaust.
