This is my baby, although these are very old pics taken right after the rims were put on. A wreck and a new paint job and a few other changes have happened since then.
As soon as she's lowered, I'll work on some updated pictures.

Well, I promised updates, and you thought the car looked nice before?
It's all about the wheel covers

!
The wreck... yes, if you look carefully on the top picture, look at the black molding on the front driver's door and then on the back door... my original molding on the back door is in better condition than the molding on the new door (the molding on the wrecked door was damaged, so I couldn't reuse it)... other than that it's pretty much stuff only I would notice...
The foglights... I never claimed to be an electrician, so I took them off after re-wiring them 5X...
The Subaru tag, still have it (not selling it

), just decided it was out of place w/out the other stuff...
It's simply transportation now...
Thanx Josh, for the webspace for all these pics!

Wow it still looks good and it is older than mine. Yours has the Legacy name plates on the sides under the window. I thought that was an odd place to place it. By 1993, the Legacy name was placed on the back. Yor exhaust pipes look new too. Is it a replacement or is it origional?

It actually took me a while to warm up to the Legacy plates there, but I think it'd look weird without them...
That's a Midas muffler, hehe

, those tips are simple Pilot bolt-ons I got from Autozone for about $8 apiece, they like to rust though...
Also, another thing different from the last pic... anybody notice that there's no pinstriping?

thought it looked better without it...

You know what those hubcaps remind me of......the xt6 wheels

The rims weren't damaged in the accident, they were oversprayed at the bodyshop, I know shoulda taken them off

, they're for sale, but iceman has almost bought them for sure...
Josh, you're right about the XT6 wheels, they do look like that, I got them at Discount Auto Parts for $20, hahaha, I repainted my originals twice and when they started chipping again, I said screw it, I'm just buyin new ones...

you need to ditch those hub caps man.
these cars look soo much better with wheels on them. Even if you don't get bling.....get something else

Patience, Josh. I might have found a deal on
brand-new XT6 wheels

, which are the same size and will accept my current set of tires...
I just gotta gather up the scratch to afford them
The XT is the unusual 4 X 140 lug pattern, so I'm SOL for rims there

Yes, I know from experience that 4x140's are impossible to find.

you can get custom steel wheels in any measurements you like for relatively cheap... check the ad section in GRM or a circle track mag. Stockton wheel or something like that???

I will just throw in this one pic of my Patti meeting a very special friend

... After I do the little things I need to do, XT6 wheels and such, I'll put some more pics up...
The scuff on the front bumper has been attended to, this is an old pic...
and yes it's real...

GTR's equate to Loads Of Fun!!! Some lucky SOB imported one right here in North Carolina. He comes into my hangout(Street Trends) about once a week. Its just sick. Its an evergreen R33. Bliss.

Here are some pics from the NASIOC Sunday Drive we had in Central Florida this past weekend...
This one shows what's become of my front bumper

:
This is another pic that I retouched in MS Paint to fix the bumper:
That's SlackMonkey's WRX wagon behind me. Even with his Pirellis, he was very impressed with how my Legacy kept on his tail in the twisties that day

Okay, a couple more pics. Had to go in to MS Paint again and clean up the front bumper (I'm damn good at it too!

) It's gonna be a Standard before long if too much more paint peels off of it. Can't wait for the big paint job this summer!
I also got the 94 Impreza L wheelcovers off eBay. They look 10 times better than the Discount ones IMO. Again, after the paint job, I'm putting the XT6 wheels on.
