this sounds like an interesting topic, what would you do with 2,000 and a bone stock turbo wagon. or any turbo legacy for that matter.
basically, how would 2,000 dollars be best spend on a 1st gen turbo legacy. this includes powertrain mods, suspension, appearance, interior, etc. 2,000 dollar limit
i wanna hear what you guys have to say, i have some money, not sure where to put it quite yet, so lets hear it.

Replace the 4EAT timebomb with a manual transmission. Spend the rest on fixing whatever you hate after that.

Probably coilovers. Then timing belt job. Won't have much left over after that. If anything.

Re: best spent 2k
It all depends on what you're starting with and what you're goals are.
I'd probably suggest suspension, brakes, and wheels & tires first.
