- I lost a bunch of shots I filmed for this video. This was the best I could recover the video to make some sort of sense.

Heck the salt belt and heck all of the seized on rusted bolts.
Love seeing this!
I have the same and it's better than any new car like CRV or RAV4...Subaru's 4WD ,Ej20 turbo engine,220p horse power...I love my car.👍
Hell ya, love my now classic bugeye
I have a 2017 wrx base. I just hit 100k. I love my car so much. It's nice seeing a true high mileage wrx. Everyone says high mileage and shows a car at 100k 😅😅😅
this is going to be exciting!! i cant wait for more videos on this one! I would totally fix this car. especially if you had it for so long already
Cool to see the extent of rust and your plan of attack. If I had the shop I would probably fix the rust too.
I freak out every time I watch one of your Videos. Even though rust is not an issue where I live , it just seems that these cars are not designed to last.
I have never removed the front fender liners because I am afraid of what I might find.
Definitely worth a peek under front fender liners, at least clean them out and get some oil in there. Im curious to see how the none salt belt ones hold up there!
Man this is the kind of stuff I’m probably gonna need help with I have a 02 bugeye wagon WRX 352,000 miles and it’s been neglected for atleast 6 years since having kids body and cosmetic wise mechanically strong running and driving just sloppy shifter really
Thats wild! I suspect you would have rusty shock towers too like mine unless its been a southern car its whole life
cinematography looks good jesse! Lovely car
Excellent job keeping your suby in shape, keep up the good work.
synchro bits and pieces?
I wonder too, it is a little notchy into 3rd
The guy who just bought the COBB tuner off of you on Kijiji. You do fantastic work. Hopefully some day I will be able to meet you and give your hand a shake, old school ...
Thanks Brother, anytime your south just holla
Damn dude, a clean bug eye in Ontario is a unicorn, keep up the great work. 03 wrx bug eye sedan here in Ontario also. Cheers bud
She definitely my pride and joy. Just love the bug’s 🙌
Fantastic video! I have a 2002 WRX in Ohio that is about to hit 200k miles. She is good for the most part, but I'm planning on addressing the rust on the rockers, rear quarters, and replacing the bumper bars in the next year or so.
Definitely worth the effort, love my bugeye 🙌
Those shock towers are going to be fun to rebuild or replace!
Not much left of them 😬 gona bring home the English wheel and bender for when i get to fab’ing them
One of my favorite cars.
Fix for sure ! It’ll be worth it if you can get to 1000000km probably the only one in Canada !
WOW cant believe that much gear material came out in your drain plug! Always save the GD. it seems savable.
🤩
Just when I can't get to mine and disassemble to start this...you post a vid lol
Scary stuff but that's just a test of our Subaru love
Ya mega can of worms
Absolutely worth fixing
is the gas tank and the floor of the car above a common corrosion spot that i should check on my 2007 impreza wagon? its in the shop right now and i have all the tools to get it done at my school, kinda has me nervous on hows mine gonna be looking like since i also live in canada
Its not a highly common spot really. The rear shock towers however are a pretty common spot though unfortunately
What kind of mods have you done? I'm on my second bugeye wagon, the first had a JDM 205 swap and it was fairly quick. I'd like to see what you can do while still keeping it reliable as a daily 👀
Its pretty stock, downpipe, inlet, short intake and a tune. 240whp
is the weld nut that the subframe gets bolted too replaceable? I came across this problem when swapping a solid STI rear subframe in a rear suspension overhaul for my SF forester
How ive dealt with it before is: once you have subframe off, then drill a hole straight up from the bottom through trunk floor (with trunk floor removed)
This marks to spot and makes pilot hole, then use a step drill bit and make a 1” hole, remove spun nut, then use a nut and bolt for the subframe there now that you have access. Finally use a 1” rubber grommet to fill the hole through floor.
@@TheSubieSanctuary Thank you so much
I heard u say evap delete? Can u make a detailed video of how too and explain how it benefits? Cause if its good enough I might try it on my Bugeye
Yes for sure brother! Honestly in front of you the theory for a proper done evap delete is so simple. But trying to explain without the tank etc in front of you is hectic. I deleted the evap systems on my 05 fxt and 07 wrx. Rewarding lil cleanse up and sheds some weight and most importantly the typical evap issues we see with the old subarus

😂😂😂 I know
Nice work here. I have a 2016 WRX 2.0DIT with 243k miles on it. Trying to find a WRX with higher miles and I think yours is it. Is it the original engine, trans, turbo, and head gasket? Is yours still on the road? I have a prize for the person that sent me this video, just need to know how many bonus points to give them.
Damn! Thats a lot of miles for a 2016! You will pass me pretty soon.😂
It is original trans, the original engine never failed and was unopened and in service until 470k km, at that time it had sucked in water during a flood. It still ran but bent the valves. I replaced with v7 207.
lololoololololoolololololololol
Hmmm 🤔
super excited to see you guys work on the exact car ive got! I still gotta do a handful of stuff to pass my vermont inspection 🥲
I've seen alot of people do it but idk how but can't you sand the front window with like 1000-2000 grit then buff it out
Wouldnt hurt on this one 😂 cant make it any worse. Ive also heard of polishing old glass. Very interesting
@@TheSubieSanctuary you should try it see if it works make a video about it
