Looks like a ton of fun, but I don't know if I could handle shifting with my left hand!
Enjoy!

It is very wonky, points of reference are all screwed up. I keep trying to shift with my right hand....and the turn signals are on the right, wipers on the left of the column....so I keep hitting the wiper when I am trying to signal....LOL

Very cool!!! Keep an eye on the coolant reservoir, they like to leak or weep coolant eventually

Very nice. I miss this design era as opposed to the plastic bumper wrapped subbie’s we have today. Most of which are large and look like they are designed for people who putt down 1/4 mile of gravel road on their way to get coffee before posting on social media about their little over landing adventure.

B4 Update:
Purchased the car knowing it's A/C compressor was faulty, got the compressor replaced (with a genuine new unit from Japan, don't ask how much that cost ) and the A/C blows ice cold, but the system has been slowly losing freon. After unsuccessfully trying to diagnose it myself I took it in to Subaru, they found that the low side shader valve is leaking. Good news, easy replacement. Since buying the car I've done routine fluid maintenance, replaced the compressor, front wiper linkage (bad bushings), side skirts (right side was barely holding on), replaced the front grille (was the incorrect one and missing the B4 emblem), replaced the center console cup holder (was broken) and unsuccessfully tried to get the keyfob to work. Other issue I've found is the fuel gauge is very erratic, think I'll pull the pump and clean the sending unit one of these days to see if that helps. I've gotten more used to driving on the wrong side LOL, but it is definitly a brain tease doing it and gets a lot of thumbs up. For those wondering, the BRZ is still here....going to Sebring this weekend with her! Enjoy some more pictures.
