Just the other day I picked up this 1992 Legacy L AWD Auto with 94,xxx miles on it for (brace yourself) 250$ !!
Being an avid sube fan, I couldn't turn it down.
My wife and I have a 2008 Impreza OBS and a 2008 Tacoma SR5 v6. This car is a total "fun" purchase. I want to build it as a "second" car for us if needed and to give me something to tinker on.
As the story goes, it's previous owner unfortunately passed away, and the car was left to a friend of mine. He didn't have the time nor space to work on it, so in my driveway it went. Woohoo!
My short-term general plans are the following, in order:
- Rust fix + respray the whole car (probably some sort of gray/gunmetal)
- Rims + tires
- Custom full exhaust, other simple engine mods/fixes/upgrades
- clear corners, clear tails, paint/tint tails
- add fog lights
- Interior upgrades
- Suspension upgrades; 18mm rear sway, 20mm(?) front
- Brakes overhaul/swap
Potential Long-term plans
- motor swap, wrx or legacy turbo
- 5mt swap (probably won't do this, but who knows)
I already started stripping down the car, sorry i don't have a decent pic of "before". It was an oversight on my part
