Nice they fixed the rust good too. Did you fix both sides to make it look even or just that side? They just fixed that side, but it looks good to me.

I emailed Subaru of Canada and got this response: To answer your question, Subaru Canada, Inc. sold 4,073 Legacys in 1992. 627 of those vehicles were RT packages, which is what your model is. So Subaru in Canada sold 627 Turbo Legacys in 1992..no way SOA's number of 11 is correct. SOA must've sold w...

I was thinking about that the other day actually. I have some speakers that I haven't put in because they are too big for the stock speaker mount and I've been too lazy to make my own mounts.

Let me make some measurements and get back to you.

I don't get what is so special about the center caps?

I have the 6-spoke wheel and the center cap is gray and says Subaru on it, IMO nothing special. Are they shiny when new?

Interesting article on wages:

That's because labor costs, for all the attention they have been receiving, make up only about 10 percent of the cost of making a vehicle.
