After a tip from another Dutch Legacy driver (“SP-boxer” on this forum) I decide to introduce myself at this forum.
(First: excuse for my English what is not always as good as I want
![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
I’m from the Netherlands.
I already found a lot of usefull information on this forum and I hope learn a lot more.
My Legacy stoy:
From my eighteenth I’ve got an 91’er Legacy. It was a 1.8 FWD in white.
After 2 years somebody made me an offer of a 93’er station (1.8 FWD) which has a conversion to an 2.0 Turbo. I decide to buy it and my white 91’er went in ‘long’ winter-sleep in my grandparents hanger.
After 3 years of a lot of fun and driving experience I want my 91’er Sedan more and more back (one of the reasons was the pass away of Colin MCrae)
So I decide to converse everything from my 93’er station to my 91’er sedan. Below the fast picture story of the conversion.
(the station body work was very bad, whit rust holes in the wheel arces etc.

In a couple of evenings the car was totally stripped.
Very nice to work a car from 91 and really NOTHING was broken or damaged by dismantle.

Not so many pictures of the dismantle. When she was stripped she moved to the hanger and the donor was placed in a big-party tent from a friend of mine.
Cleaned everything from the red station, and place it back in the white sedan.

Don’t look at the tires!!!! They are much to small but I want to know how the wheels will stand under my white sedan!
