so, i traded my 5speed 1991 t-leg for this new project (dont worry, it wasnt a straight across trade :lol: )... now its not a legacy, but it might end up being legacy powered :twisted: without further ado- pics!!!!

its a 1994 impreza L wagon in all its FWD 1.8 autotragic glory

Image

its got the blue fender because the car belonged to my brothers fiance, and she was at her moms house when someone smacked the car and drove off :( but all is well, i got the new fender, the headlights and the grill from my favorite junkyard for $60.00. the hit only messed up the fender, and thats all i went to the junkyard to grab... but then i saw the new style headlights and grill and i though why not. haha

new hotness

we had an exhuast from a 2.5rs we swapped at the shop.... and i got to thinking, i wonder if this will fit on my wagon???? guess what, it does in all its 5inch tip glory :lol: i'll have pictures of that tomorrow hopefully, it sound great!!! just wish the car had more power now.

next step is the 2.5rs hood and the roof and tailgate spoilers to finish off the outside for now, then i'm going to find a frontclip for some jdm turbo goodness

If you give it the JDM turbo hotness, don't paint the fender or anything else. Leave it looking like it had an accident.

Hey thats coming along nicely :) Hopefully I can pickup a awd wagon someday and do a converstion. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you part with your 91t? I'd love to get my hands on a project 91t legacy sedan in blue :twisted:

i traded the t-leg for this car plus some cash ($1,000).

technically no, i got the bumper parts for $170 from a guy locally who bought them new from a dealership then sold them because he wanted the v5-v6 front end (you can get the early WRX skin and JDM bumper beam from the dealerships, 150ish for the skin i think and about 50-60 for the beam)
