Your thoughts keep it, break it or sell it for another one
I had a wrx bug few years ago that never cost me a penny except for the mods. After missing it so much I bought a 03 Sti Type Uk PPP in October last year and to be honest has been a nightmare. Here is what ive replaced since then:
Front wheel bearing went
Air intake pipe split
Fuel pump gasket was leaking
MAF
Front droplinks broke
Neutral Position Sensor
I expexted few faults on a car this age but not this many. Still few things to sort out which some i expect from age or wear and tear
They are :
Starting to rust under spoiler on egdes of boot
some kind person has hit my bumper and all paint i cracked so needs repaint
starting to bubble slightly on top of windscreen think from cheesewire from previous windscreen replacement.
Few other paintwork tidy up but nothng major just normal chips, slight scratches.
Clutch release bearing noisy on overrun
Front calipers need refurb
Now im wondering if i fix the issues as funds allow or just run it and save money towards a later blob and sell or break this one?
Your opinions please
Car has done 70000 with full subaru history.

We have bought a standart blob uk 03 with full SH 67k miles in black for 6.5k . Going for a remap on sunday 
will be well better than PPP. I say fix it and keep or sell it how it is and get a later blob, as striping it is not going to be very easy..... The difference between 2 will be the widetrack chasis and Diff control which is better on the track, i'm wondering how much is a better car in the real world comparing to the older version.
