Craig Is good at his craft.
Does specialise in straightening and repairing/refinishing wheels.
have seen KC fab do some awesome repairs also but these were specifically for drift cars so cannot comment if would run them on the road.
As for being sad, it's only because I remember them from...
As said previously,
Get reg and vin and apply for log book.
That is a nice car for free and would happily snap their hand off.
Even if it was to polish it up and sell on.
Even we buy any car would be a decent profit payday for a couple hours work.
Could weight shift also.
So
If the van weighs 1750kg,
You could tow a 3tonne van up to the 4750kg limit, but would be bad practice.
Especially as those 1.6dci engine would struggle.
Depends on what you want to tow etc.
I looked heavily at the creality k1, p1s/p1p and x1c and settled on the x1c in the end, because has the hardened extruder as standard, better screen and camera/lidar.
Going from an ender 3 to the x1c was a game changer!! Prints in around ⅓ of the time. More consistent higher quality prints...
2020 they had done a revision on the diesel engine by then.
Stay well away from any earlier than 2017 though as love scrapping the engines at around 120k.
They are decent wagons. Don't really rot, only thing with subarus they do not like aftermarket parts.
Stay genuine subaru filters etc and...
Done cerakote on an alloy subaru engine block.
Came out a treat and really happy with the results.
Have got more to do the brakes and suspension components as due to thickness of material should be better around bushes etc.
We did do this but I've managed to end up with a 30L and 2x 50L bottles now.
This way got loads of time to worry about refills and getting to my local supplier.
(Was running 2x20L bottles but the prices drop considerably per fill for larger bottles)
Never had an issue swapping an empty bottle with any dealer.
Usually use 4 local but have had to swing by others on those oh darn moments.
Only becomes a major problem if using the 30 or 50l bottles as not many people stock them.
(10 and 20 are common as muck)
I know its over budget but managed to get the r-tech on special (was down to £120 from £150. And is a good helmet with true colour.
If can wait for special then might be an option.
Who did the head gasket?
As the head bolts are different lengths and if they aren't put in the right places they will pinch on the cam and can make the engine tight.
