Rusty Subaru? - Considering Body Work? - Watch This!

[@jeffreygoss8109]

When the plastic rusts you know you have issues

[@ruttspeed]

Brave to stand underneath on a two post ramp

[@ML-yk5zj]

Really eye-opening. Makes me think my resto project dreams might be a mirage...

[@warnfreezer]

I have one of the highly sought-after GD models that comes with a self-oiling under body and engine bay.

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Helll ya! Actually makes a difference when the engine leaks back oil 😂

[@slothgarage]

That’s unbelievable. I thought mine was bad! I’ve been grinding the rust off mine for a second time at the rear end. Definitely gives me the reassurance that it’s not actually that bad and can be saved 😂

[@simulation993]

nice to see you here! Hope the rust war has been going well over there...

[@rohjanbarrett1676]

Seeing under that blob eye really made me appreciate my hawkeye even more, (even though I can’t get it to start rn). I’d be all over that drivetrain if I didn’t do the engine swap the other day man😭

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Ill give you dibs on next one! I got another sti here for parts

[@jgomez7535]

Appreciate that you guys give helpful, solid advice on restore/upgrade projects 👍🏼

[@Mike_44]

😢 Oh no… RIP STi. Best to find a good WRX shell and swap the engine, wiring rest of of whatever is still good.

[@Hakiri27]

this makes me appreciate mine so much more

[@dorianleclair7390]

Damn you know it is bad when subie sanctuary can not fix it.😅

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

This was disturbing 😂

[@MinhDangcraft]

Damn, maybe it's best to start early and repair everything and get a car wash subscription lol

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Frequent underbody Car washes do more then most can imagine

[@boosTiMon]

Remove the engine, transmission, drivetrain, brakes and interior and turn it into a giant flower pot. What a pile of crap.

[@self.reflect]

This makes me want to get on my rust/paint repair project to my subies sooner than later! 😅It's no where near this. Wow, just wild how bad this one got

[@RoadPatina]

Amazed those bumpers did not rust out!

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Actually 😂 the brackets on the rear bumper did rot away.

[@scoobysean555]

Having a running driving car that went in ..to have it stripped and scrapped is a heart breaker 😢 but sometimes there not worth trying to save

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

For real, even working one today, 06 sti, she aint leaving other then stripped and off to scrap. Just as bad as car in vid 😭

[@scoobysean555]

[@inglouriousmofo]

More BANG BANG BANG rust BANG BANG here BANG and we BANG BANG BANG BANGGG!!! LOL

[@twinturbo3470]

I feel like this video is for me because I asked you for it and sent you pics of rust buckets that I want to buy……..thanks for your advice

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

😂 its for all of us. You wouldn’t believe me but a hawk sti came in today even worse then this one

[@twinturbo3470]

Was the guy you were talking to in the video atually mad at you for what you told him about his car.@@TheSubieSanctuary

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

@@twinturbo3470 no not at all, I just being silly. Prior he was aware this was beyond the point of return

[@johnleca]

Probably driven in winter and salt, parked on dirt or grass, not cleaned underneath.

[@TheTurboSubaru]

Waiting for you to inspect my high mileage hero '05 sedan sooner or later 😆

[@cityhunter25]

LOL great video!! takes a hammer to the guys car, sorry your POS is not salvageable 🤣 RIP STI!!!

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Almost have to so they dont think they can pick it up and drive off 😂

[@cityhunter25]

@@TheSubieSanctuary 😅 drive off to the ground maybe

[@Gunma_garage]

Jesse: "Hey the car is barely holding itself on the lift, do you want us to sweep up the rest and mail it back?" Customer: "No, I got a guy back home, I'll drive it home thx"

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

😂

[@flat4-]

What in the salt flavor chips hell is needed to become such a rust bowl ? Does it live inside a salt mine ? Never seen it sooo bad. And I got anxious a few weeks ago for a small rust spot on my sill and rear arch. (Wich is repaired now)

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Ya Ontario is not a friendly place for metal. Definitely makes you appreciate any decent older car thats left

[@cdnc9871]

Would you be willing to do some work on a 1997 Land Cruiser? I'll buy you some Champs burgers as a bonus!

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

😂 you know im a sucker for champs

[@Christosan88]

Happy Boxing Day? lol Cheers!

[@ThomasP187]

*Do not resuscitate *

[@martinssau]

Woow. Was thinking that my 05 sti was worst Can you email the blue carpet from the car ? 😅🤣

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Someone grabbed the carpet and seats, she was wild eh!

[@timmyhaze5893]

Mine 98' GTT has 300kkm but her bottom is hard as rock.... idk how its possible to get it dat rusty😮

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

No way! Still original motor too? Thats really good if so. Ya rust is a killer here

[@timmyhaze5893]

@@TheSubieSanctuary yes still original motor! But i am second owner, always good maintenance by a dealer, everything done on time and its pays off!

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

@@timmyhaze5893 absolutely dude! Thats wicked, take care them and they’ll take care of you

[@andrewjohnson7960]

Damn thats the rustiest subaru ive ever seen i had a sea side 2001 Subaru Forester s turbo SF5 absolute weapon £1500 here in Scotland dailyed for 10,000 miles then the subframe at rear decided too snap in half whilst driving nearly crashed it haha crawled it home and next owner put a wrx subframe sand blasted rear turrets done 2.5kg of sheet metal ! Now i own a 2004 red forester xt love it most of the cars been undersealed tho rear turrets i did put finger through lol not as bad as last one but willing too get welded

2002 wrx Sedona red pearl SPT Factory Trim package w/ GC8 Front Lip SPT Factory Rear Diffuser SPT Factory Carbon interior with pop out cup holder Momo Carbon Package with OEM Boost gauge 94 protune, suspension mods yada yada... finding the underneath like this at the start of the pandemic... Devastating

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Damn eh 🥲

[@i.parafin]

omg it is really the most rusty g11 ive seen

[@jeff666p]

Seen cars worse than that restored.

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

I agree, like some classic muscle cars or rare exotics. But this would be a waste when you can replace it for half the resto cost

[@swoosh8474]

So sad to see...

[@johnadona3014]

oh man i never seen something so rotten bust be salt

[@ryan-zv6xp]

Welcome to Ontario

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Got an 06 sti in shop today, just as rusty, maybe worse even 😬😂

[@self.reflect]

STI value went up 2% because of this video. 🥲 This actually breaks my heart.

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Sad they get to this point, definitely makes you appreciate the clean ones left
