Deride's 1991 Legacy Sport Sedan
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.
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.

Re: Deride's 1991 Legacy Sport Sedan
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.
Midnight in a Perfect World on Amazon or order anywhere. The first book in a quartet chronicling the rise of a man from angry criminal to philanthropist. Midnight... is a distopic noirish novel featuring 'Duchess', a modified 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon.
Re: Deride's 1991 Legacy Sport Sedan
^^^ 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.

Re: Deride's 1991 Legacy Sport Sedan
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?
Re: Deride's 1991 Legacy Sport Sedan
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.

Re: Deride's 1991 Legacy Sport Sedan
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...

Hurry! Finish this car so you can sell it and go offroading with Chux and I !
Re: Deride's 1991 Legacy Sport Sedan
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.

Re: Deride's 1991 Legacy Sport Sedan
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)
