Picked up another SVX pics inside

1992 Subaru SVX

I picked this one up on friday night. The car runs and drives, and will soon be able to stop (I have to bleed the brakes) . It is of course much cleaner than the Lemons SVX (body-wise, interior, mechanically) and this one has a glass windshield!

The real issue is that the balancer took a trip off of the crank (presumably after a botched t-belt job), and took a little piece of the snout off when it did. The balancer has been put back on, and as stated above the car drives, but of course the proper fix would be a new crank. The good news here is that the motor in the lemons car runs like a top, and costs nothing but sweat to swap-in. I will probably swap the motors, as the lemons car only needs to last 500 or so miles.

Here are some pics, interior has not been cleaned. Exterior got half-ass cleaned (Car needs a full detail).










The driver's seat and door panel have some significant wear, but the ones off of the Lemons car are in significantly better shape... and are the same color!

I'd wipe down the area w/excessive crotchwear. Otherwise, have fun.

I thought the back two wheels were on backwards?

Congrats on your purchase man, if I were you I would do a full bodywork/paintjob thing. Silvers are really rare these days...
