Well, I've been a member since January 15th, 2008 and since than I have not owned a single Subaru. But today that all changes. This afternoon I'm going to the bank to sign paperwork and buy myself a 2004 WRX.

I wasn't even looking for a WRX but one came up and I just had to make it a part of my life :D.
I'll post pics and a little back story on how I got it once I get it in my possession.

I probably won't be in possession of the car till the end of the week. The engine is being rebuilt as we speak.

A little history of the car as far as I know it...

My brother in law owns a shop and he had someone bring in this WRX with a blown rod. Aftert pricing it out for the owner of the car the owner decided he didn't want to fix it. The owner sold it to my brother for 2900$. The body and interior is in perfect condition. He's in the process of rebuilding the engine. He picked up a short block with 40k miles on it for 200$, is having the heads rebuilt (new cams, machined, valve job), replacing all the gaskets and seals, new clutch, and a few other things here and there. I'm buying the car from him with 74k miles.

Obligatory shop info.

He does great work and a really fair price. (He doesn't offer me a family discount and I still don't feel like i'm paying a lot.)

So I hit some snags with the financing today. It's cool though. Still approved just need to jump through some more hoops. I did stop by the shop and take some pics though. Here they are for your viewing pleasure.
