More problems continue to arise. The A/C belt I added finished off the doomed tensioner pulley I was unaware of. New part from Subaru? $40. Easy day. The old part has some good carnage though!
And the belt was still good too! No cracks or tears somehow. In other good news I was given a new to me toolbox by my grandfather over Easter, a little rust repair and it will be good as new.
OLD school craftsman toolbox, heavy steel, locking drawers, and in reasonable shape minus the rust on the top and latches. At least I can stay busy while I’m between jobs.
On a side note, any Oppo’s have a Craftsman Pro series gray and red intermediate tool box for sale? usually 2 or 3 drawers, I’m on the hunt to finish off my set, although if you are local and aren’t asking an outrageous price, I’m willing to buy a whole cabinet to have a matching set.

That’s wallet draininly horrifying. I checked my timing belt the other day and it’s thankfully in good shape.

timing belt was fine, in my case my water pump seized.
it wasn’t too bad, wallet wise. I bought a second hand engine and did a rebuild on it then swapped them over. then cleaned up this one and sold it for parts. about $200 was the difference in the end, if I recall.

Nicely done, I should be buying a house here soon and once I recover from that I plan on buying a spare longblock for that’s same reason

To be fair I’ll probably be doing forged internals on it. Current plan is a gen4 3S-GTE with forged pistons and rods for my MR2 and something similar for the Saabaru, probably a JDM EJ whatever that bolts in. Pretty much an “Sti” swap.

I have the middle one from this cabinet and never use it(makes it too tall to use the top compartment). The cabinet set appears to be from the 80s.
I’d be willing to sell it. I’m in Rhode Island so I don’t know if that is close enough to be feasible.

wrong color scheme, looking for the red drawer models.
Thanks though!
