My name is Gannon and I am a electrician from Nambucca Heads NSW
Ive owned many Subarus over the years (92 L series turbo wagon, 83 Leone sedan, 2001 Outback) Currently own a 2004 Forester, 1987 RX turbo with EJ20G and I have just bought a 2004 GT pearl white with a big end knock. I bought a replacement motor and swapped it last Sunday.
There are a few things that need fixing up... I kinda bought a lemon but at least it was cheap
There are bubbles in the header tank even though the car doesnt seem to use any water
The heater core has a leak and it currently bypassed
There is a dent/big painless rust patch on the bottom of the passenger side front fender
Bonnet sits about 6mm higher than than the side fenders
Leather is coming undone on the steering wheel
Both central locking actuators on the passenger side dont work
Broken clip that holds the bumper on under the headlight
Clock/info display comes and goes
Planned mods...
Fit a digital temperature probe to the engine to keep a close eye on temps until I sort the bubble issue
Fix everything above, plus...
Make the indicator flasher module louder
Install a central locking beeper/piezo
Variable sub volume mod
