Hi from Broadstairs, Kent

Hi, I've just bought a 1993 Impreza 1.8GL as a runaround, pretty good nick with little rust and runs well. It's my first Subaru, hence joining up. I've followed subaru for many years in the BRC and WRC, and when I saw the car for just over £200, thought I'd give the legend a try. Only problem with the car is that the suspension bushes are starting to go. Does anyone have any ideas where the best place to get them are, a rough idea of price and how easy they are to do. Many thanks, Jon B.

Thanks Pete. Phoned Barretts this morning - no answer. Got thru to Walldonway in Larkfield, bloke in parts dept. was great. He faxed us thru a copy of the parts diagram with all the part numbers, all I need to do now is give him a buzz, and he'll order and send them. The only other thing I needed was a second Cat. Ordered this from cats4less in Northampton £84 all in, and with my local scrappy giving me £15 for the old one, my £200 Impreza is lookin like the bargain of the year !
