Deride's 1991 Legacy Sport Sedan

Post by Deride »

I sold my beloved 1994 SS back in August 2010 to pay for my 6MT swap in my Impreza.

The day I got it.

One of my favorite pics from LSPR course marshalling.

At the ice races.

After I sold the 94, 93forestpearl found me a SCREAMING deal on a 1991 in need of a short block. It is pretty much rust free in comparison to the 94 which was rotting all over.

Image
91 SS the day I got it, with my 1996 outback wheels/tires on it.

Then 3 months later I found out this happened to the 94 and made an offer to buy it back :(

The damage doesn't look that bad, but the front end is swung over about 6 inches or so. It would take too much time on the frame rack to fix the rusty beast so its all getting swapped into the 91 I picked up. It's quite amazing how the plastic in older cars is so much stronger. Any car from 2000+ the front bumper wouldn't even have existed after the crash let alone only have a few broken pieces on it. So the build thread has begun. I have just started stripping the 1994 down and scrapping it. The VLSD rear diff from the 1994 is pulled and going into my 1996 Outback. I pulled the junk radiator/fans out along with the junk fenders/bumper/headlights/corner lights. I donated the front bumper to keystone for recycling and the fenders went to the scrap pile.

The motor and transmission are ready to come out. The only thing I have left is to take the 2 bottom nuts off of the bellhousing, the pin out of the clutch fork and drop the entire tranny w/ x-member then pull the motor. I have to keep it a roll-able chassis until I can get the 91 out of the snow heap it is buried in at my friends place. Then the real part out will begin.

Yeah, I wouldn't doubt it if that bumper could be plastic welded and bent back into shape if you wanted to. At first, I missed the metal impact bumpers my GLs had, but the Legacy's plastic bumpers have taken a hell of a beating without issue. New cars get sneezed on wrong and pop out of the fender mounting and they can't be properly repaired as they're too thin.

^^^ same thing with the old plastic fender liners, one got ripped out of my Tleg and ran over ice racing and it didn't even rip a mounting tab. My 02 impreza ones break if you look at them wrong.

If you have terrible iPhone pictures you should get Verizon and get a Droid. They have 8 megapixel cameras and the camera is better than my 12 meg fugi somehow lol.

I phone my iphin4 has a much better camera, but still not even close to the droid, but it was free so no complaints. How wide are these ones compared with your other ones?

Same size and offset wheel but the tires are 225/45/17 instead of 235/40/17. Makes it look lower but lots less rubber meeting the pavement.

Glad you're mostly happy with the '91 based on my preview and pics.


Oh, and answer your phone one of these days. I know it's an apple product, but come on...

Got the auto out of the 91 last weekend along with the TCU. I swapped wiring from the 91 intake manifold to the 94 so I can drop the engine/5mt back in once I get the 91 shell here.

Friend towed the 91 to my place this morning so I tore into it. Both interiors are gutted, peeling window trim swapped, chrome door handles and door cards swapped etc. Now I am very sunburned and not looking forward to tomorrow. Lol! If anyone needs any 91 interior stuff really badly let me know ASAP cause it's getting chucked. I did break stuff taking it apart because I didn't care. (mainly the upper pillar trim)
