Just got my first Subaru for a carton of James Boag's, it's a 84 Leone Sedan 2wd, well chuffed, wife hates it but I think it's cool, drove it home with no probs and it has a recon engine. Not sure which way to get yet whether the 4x4 option or a sort of cal look style, any ideas?

Classic!
I'm sure it will "cost" you many more beers!
Cheers

Hopefully the pics will work
Thanks for the warm welcome guys, apart from needing a damn good clean and a couple of surface rust areas sorted it's not too bad, mechanically seems ok apart from a weak battery, oh and I definately need some new wheels instead of those bike wheels on there at the moment.

oooh... game of swapsies! Good luck with that!

Yeah it will! Ruby Scoo was a $500 special, shot engine. She's cost a lot more since then but I can't complain - do your research, gather parts wisely when you can afford it, definitely shop around!
Looks like a great starter!
Cheers

Thanks for the advice Bennie, Silverbullet there is no rust around the front window but a small piece at the drivers side back quarter window.

I have taken off the headlight protectors if anyone wants them
