Personally, I enjoyed watching you chasing chickens. The Lincoln with the “surprise” under the seat was jaw-dropping! Also, hints useful to dummies like me are always good.
    You guys are awesome. I set aside my Saturday mornings to watch you. Thank you for sharing. Have fun doing what you’re doing ……. and don’t take comments like these too seriously.

    I had a 1998 WRX in Australia back in the late 90’s. I was 23 and paid an unbelievable amount in insurance each year. I loved that car. Every Saturday morning it was washed and then driven with passion on roads outside of the city. In the 6 years of owning it, I think I only exceeded the speed limit on suburban roads twice. I saved that for the twisty stuff away from people.

    Not exactly an interior cleaner, rather an interior preservative, one of my very favorite products is Connolly Hide Food/Hide Care, but I also use their cleaner as well. Connolly Hide Food/Hide Care has kept the leather interiors in my 1984 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible and 1985 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Brougham Luxury Sedan looking like new -- soft and supple just like they were when the cars were delivered by new by the dealer. I will never forget taking deliver of the Oldsmobile on Aprile 21, 1985 then driving by to show it to some family -- they thought my mother and I had been terribly extravagant as we ordered the car with every available factory option except the sun roof, and diesel V8. Several were shocked that we would consider spending nearly $2,000.00 to upgrade to the premium leather interior -- it evidently was not a popular option due to cost and a single color offered -- a medium blue=gray.

    It would help if you gave the mileage as that makes a massive difference to value (going by the wear on the gear knob this is high mileage) but as it's one of less than 200 Joe should rebuild it as stock. >200 examples should make it more valuable stock than modified.

    On the rust issues.
    Ive seen cars come back from just a chassis and firewall. Rebodying a car is pricey of course. However patching areas like this is entirely doable. $$$? Sure. It will cost. Worth it? How much does he like it? How much would he willingly invest in it?
    Also, the inherent value is the rarity of the 200 shipped with this particular paint code. Remove the paint, it becomes just another Subie with a manual. Still not a super common car, but the paint is what keeps it supremely rare. That should be taken into consideration.

    Funny the hood spot at first your 15" away fast sweeping and then you spray that cleaner on there then come back to about 5" away and slow sweep. 😂

    What an amazing transformation looks incredible now and in “my” opinion I say keep Joe as far away from this sweet ride as possible. He’ll just do as before, shove it in a corner and continue letting it rot.

    You'll build a Initial-D Bunta's Impreza, with the STi Bodykits though, it's the real life.
