1990 Legacy from the Chitown area

Post by beanis05 »

Here it is after the front end rebuild and yes its ugly right now but at least the front end is straight

I will try and post more pics soon
And here they are with new rims that I took of from this...

and more shots of them on the Legacy

How the WRX looks now

Rims are 17x7 with +40 offset and I am running 5mm spacers in the back
It rubs the rear fenders on turns but not too bad I will be rolling the fenders to adress the issue

Ohh! What wheels are those? can you post a side view photo? Body looks pretty straight, are you planing upgrades?

Ugly is in the eye of the beholder. Some people would see a car that needs work. I start envisioning upgrades and what a car would look like after ive added my own personal touch.

Good catch! Good luck!

Looks like a blank slate. Clean, though. What's the car's future look like?

Those are WRX stockers no? The car looks nice, if you have the money for a paint job it would look sweet.

Yes those are the wrx stockers. I got two different kinds, the backs are 04 and the fronts are 05 I think. I will try and post some pics once the snow clears up so you can actually see them.

LOL I hope, this thing has a ton of parts waiting to go in. Just got to wait till spring to finish the body and finally paint it.

I did not like the reflective plastic. Reminded me of older camrys and maximas. This way nobody knows what kind of car I am driving. Usually people mistake it for a corolla. LOL
