Ouch! The collarbone must be painful, makes me cringe thinking about it.
Any photos of the damage to your car?

minimum 6 weeks in front of the box, as getting to work involves climbing a 5 story ladder each day and back down again at the end of the day

well on the upside i might be recieving another suby, a '92 EFI wagon with the factory lift kit

AndrewT · Post by **AndrewT** » Wed Jan 02, 2008 1:05 am

Factory lift kit? That's a new one......please explain?
Could u mean the air-adjustable struts some imports have?

SUBYDAZZ · Post by **SUBYDAZZ** » Wed Jan 02, 2008 7:43 am

Well that's interesting!

Please do let us know about this. Especially the *certificated* part.

Mate, sorry to hear about your loss and injury. Sounds like you were a lucky boy - someone's looking out for you.

Good luck on the EFI subi. They go really well if you keep the radiator in good nic. Long story.

Get well soon.

Bennie
