1993 Loyale parts and Northeast Texas Subaru mechanic needed.

[2450paul]

I've been an avid Toyota enthusiast since 1994 but I always admired Subaru. Then when I drove my girlfriend's 97 outback wow! I loved it. When I pulled the skid plate off to gain access under the engine and looked up it reminded me of aviation technology that I saw when I worked at piper aircraft in Vero Beach Florida. I was impressed to say the least. Anyway, after my 94 isuzu amigo blew a tranny bearing I sold it. I bought this 93 Loyale front wheel drive only wagon that needed a timing belt kit. Upon inspection it looks like one of the bolts holding the sprocket to the drivers side cam come out and the remaing two sheared after wallowing out the sprocket bolt holes. So lacking the equipment and suitable work space to pull the engine I'm going to have to pay a mechanic and help him locate parts. Right away i started saving for a new to me older car but i really dont want to buy another who knows what. So im going to put what I've saved into making this lil beauty a nice reliable ride that I'll know what i got. I've removed broken bolts before when an easy out didn't work. It just requires patience and drilling the bolts until all you have is threads left in the bolt holes which with a proper pick and a little finess can be removed without damaging the threaded holes. This little wagon has a very straight body, obviously garage kept just looking at the forest green paint. It does need rubbing compound and a good wax job. Front and rear bumpers have minor parking lot ripples one each and repairable. The interior just needs a good detailing. The plastic facia under the steering wheel looks like it was pulled off by someone's pet gorilla and a plastic piece over the rear passenger side door is missing. I need a hood release cable, a drivers side headlight mine had a rock punch a small hole in it so it leaked and the chrome reflector inside rusted up. The passenger side tali light lens is broken but mostly there. I also need a spare tire and those gas hatchback supports. This car only has 150,000 on the odometer and a folder with many receipts for maintenance and parts replaced which probably didn't really need to be replaced but mechanics have families to feed and it's always better to be safe than sorry, right? Especially when dealing with a female vehicle owner. The only owner of this vehicle. The vehicle lived it's entire life in San Antonio so I can't find any rust. I know, the boby is angular with hard lines and wedge like but I like it. Since I'm a woodworker I had a passing fancy that it would look classic if it had a woody kit of oak stringers and teak panels on it. Now I'm showing my age. Well it's true. I could see this being the last car I own and it would be nice to leave a classic looking reliable little station wagon to one of my grandkids. One of them might even appreciate it. In my Toyota days i found a salvage yard in Colorado that only dealt in Toyotas. Anyone know of a subaru yard? Or maybe someone on the forum has parts cars with parts they can part with, oops i made a triple pun. Now i know its time to shut this down it's past my bedtime. Consider this my introduction to the forum and any help would be greatly appreciated. I appreciate you reading all this rambling.
