New owner of 2009 AWD Vibe

Just saying hi pretty much.

Bought an '09, 161k miles. Very cheap but much in need of some work. Previous owner apparently ran it for a while with the rear diff drained of gear oil. Some heavy damage. So... waiting for parts.

Rest of it good except for headlight damage. Got the part. Waiting for time to put it in. Have to get the front fascia off, looks like.

Anyway, I'll be posting some specific questions soon. Glad this forum exists and is active.

Congrats on your new ride and welcome to the Genvibe family! Try and share some pics of the rear diff; hopefully it's OK.

Welcome to GenVibe! Sounds like you're already well on your way to resurrecting this poor, neglected Vibe! You should consider starting a thread in the GenVibe Garage Forum to keep track of all the work you do to your "new" Vibe ;).

Welcome to GenVibe. Since this is a AWD Vibe It would be safe to assume that you are located somewhere where it snows & gets cold ??? (update profile for us) Basically, where will this Vibe be driven? Lots of Pics required for all repairs & progress. This helps others out who may encounter similar problems/repairs!
