    Hi, I am new to this forum and wanted to introduce myself. I first bought this car when I was 16 years old, and I am now 18. I am excited to become a part of the mnsubaru community. Also, where can I buy some stickers?
    These are some pictures from Cars and Coffee today.:thumbup:

    Welcome to the forum! Despite the wheels are a hair too low of offset, I do like those wheels.

    Welcome to the boards. Your wheels don't fit.

    Congrats on your purchase! Get that rear fender rust taken care of before it gets out of control! My first car was a 69 Landcruiser FJ40---still miss it to this day.

    Thank you
    How much do you think it would cost for the rust repair? My dad and I have been meaning to get that done.

    Welcome aboard. Be careful how defensive you get, some people find that intoxicating here. Also, you will catch TONS of flack here for the "poke" look. Just keep thick skin and you'll be fine.

    We have a weekly meet every Tuesday so feel free to come out.

    Welcome and enjoy your stay on the short bus.

    We could could give him a temporary nickname based on his first impression! Then solidify that or a new one when he goofs!

    It probably wouldn't be too crazy expensive if you take care of it now! If you wait, you'd be suprised how quickly it can become expensive! Is it on both sides?

    Granted this car wasn't made yet when I was that age, ohhh the thoughts of how much more fun street racing would have been!
    Welcome to the forums! What area are you coming from?

    Street racing with a bugeye would have ended with a bang! I'm guessing he's coming from a haro or similar bike since it is his first car ;)

    The penetrative angle of the seat comes as no surprise.
