what do you need to fix

small paint chip on the hood
small dent on the rear passenger quarter pannel
tune is a bit rich

honestly i am torn on spending money to fix this shit because its gonna be really really expensive and its not necessary for the car to run good

Interior issues
New plastic panel around the steering wheel, have parts, never installed it. Bought this shit last year
New rubber around hand brake
Clean/wash carpets and stains around the car

Exterior
Body paint is falling apart
Passenger rim is cracked, not trying to jinx myself, but it is a large rim crack might wreck one day

Engine
Could use a new battery but haven't had any actual issues yet

'99 Impreza WRX
Interior:
The dash has developed a rather nasty rattle thanks to the local road surfaces being rubbish.
Exterior:
A multitude of paint chips and small dings from asshats in parking lots including the mother of all shopping cart dents where some old hag pushed it against my car to get it to stay still to unload her shopping.
Mechanical:
Needs a new clutch soon, rear main seal is leaking a bit of oil, there is a tiny crack in the sump, shift bushings are in dire need of replacement and as of last week the timing belt is squeeking.

I keep getting cheap shitty ones for like $20. Finally bought a real jack for $150 so hopefully it'll last more than twice

>>16489884
where do you even find a $20 jack? My harbor freight one was a steal at $70 and hasn't let me down.

- Engine mounts makes it harder to put in 2nd and 4th gear since I really need to make sure it's actually in unless I wanna grind the gears.
- Front window has billions of tiny marks from chips of stone (salt+gravel during winter)
- Rust is starting to come up on the dogbone.
- Something makes it missfire during WOT, either super expensive DIC or prolly the NGK plugs are worn (plugs look okay, but best to change anyway)
- I haven't replaced the door lights and interior lights on the ground to LED like I've done to all the roof lights
- Can't decide if I want to keep satnav since it can play radio, or swap to my BT+AUX+USB+Handsfree 3rd party radio
- polish the car
- Something (possible a leaf) is making a light rattle in the AC fan occasionally.
- Haven't done any brake bleeding, ever, even though they brake fine it's always good to be sure there's no bubbles in there.

For those /pol/-users that realized I drive a Swedish car:
- rear wiper line or pump doesn't cum on the rear window so I can YES out the back when it's dirty.

I doubt it, since 80% of owners will never touch the jack, and the ones that do only use it to swap a flat tire on the side of the road.

Is it ever possible to mend a rolled car?

>>16490994
If you got the time and the money anything is possible.

>>16488746
As a guy working at an auto body shop, I advise against maaco. That $300 you're spending is going to last ~3 months then you're back to square 1. Get the car mechanically sound, then start saving for a decent paint job.

>>16491090
Not the first person I've heard say that. The problem is that the local body shops I've talked to, for the bare minimum basic paint job, is more than a thousand. You're definitely right about it being worth saving for but fuck me that thing looks terrible right now.

Replace the engine air filter, level the headlights. Finish the rest of the 90k mile service once I have time. Timing belt, oil, oil filter, water pump, cabin air filter, and a bunch of other things have already been done.

After that I need to clean the cabin air temperature sensors, refurbish the steering wheel back to factory new, find a new trunk switch because the plastic on mine has broken off.

It also could use a good wash. The engine bay has random twigs and shit on the radiator. The battery terminals have a bit of corrosion.

When I have a job that can actually support more than bare essentials I'm thinking about redoing the leather interior and possibly a respray because the leather is showing small cracks in places and the paint is starting to go in places. Also considering improved exhaust headers for better efficiency and taking the time to refurbish and rust proof anything that is starting to go like wheel hubs

Not even sure if the last one is tappets. Dad said it might be them, but on videos on YouTube that I've seen, the sound has been a lot quieter than mine

Whaa? £130???
I bought some Bosch ones from eBuy a couple of months back and it only costed me a tenner (well, £15 with posting & packaging)

are you replacing the sparkplugs in a twinspark with OEM parts or something?

How did you guess! To be fair they have a 60k life but it's still a pain in the ass. Its the small ones that bring the cost up. I'd get away with it if it wasn't a CF2 engine which runs bad on anything but NGK r plugs.

Ah nice
see >>16493263
You can get 8 NGK plugs for £64 on euro car parts

>>16493285

Close, it's the 10mm ones that are the money. Looks like a more realistic price though.

That would've been my second guess since it started after replacing the axle seals. Any chance that it could lead to a crazy accident? I won't be able to get it fixed for a few months

I need to replace head gasket,water pump,timing belt,engine oil,oil filter,spark plugs and while I'm at it I'm also going to change the exhaust manifold gasket and tension pully

'05 Audi TT

Just bought used, all just done last week:
-Trans fluid leak sealed, flush/refill trans fluid
-replaced power steering pressure hose
-replace both front CV boots
-Replaced hood strut
-Major service, drained/refilled every fluid and replaced every filter, plugs etc.
-cut/program new remote key

...to the tune of nearly $3K. Engine is in great shape though, belts all fine. Tech thought it had been reasonably well taken care of but had been sitting for a while before I bought it.

Shouldn't have any other issues in the near term now aside from oil changes, knock on wood.

Oh yeah, the previous owner also installed a momo steering wheel and it has a bunch of play in it, never replaced a steering wheel before so idk where to even start on that, also the horn doesn't work.

>>16493902
horn should be the easiest one to fix

She's actually at my local mechanic getting her rap sheet so I know the what exactly needs work. Only thing I'll pay to replace is the timing belt and brake lines, the rest I trust myself enough to do.

My check engine light came on today when I started up. Finished my errands, didn't hear or feel anything weird. Stopped by auto store (O' Reilly's) to get the code checked. Was told that it said "cylinder 1 misfire". wut do?

I'd rather fix it myself and, like I said, it's running fine right now. No unusual noise when at idle or under load (tested that after I got back from the errands). Wasn't driving funny at all either.

Awesome thread.

My brakes might be bad. I got new tires and now the brakes chug when I slowly brake, particularly the first one after the car's been shut off a while.

It might just be some rust got in the tire/brake gap, but I don't know shit about repair to check.
