Hello all! I've lurked around here for about the past year and a half. Decided I would finally post some pictures and a bit of a story! Hope you all enjoy!




it had 208,xxx, its an auto.
I got it FREE last march because I got it started! (also in the first picture my fiancees 98 lgt)




it needed a bit of work...nothing major though!
















all these parts are in.


I will have more pictures and storys later! thanks for looking

Ryan

as of today
the car has 214,500mi

I have tons more planned for the future:

new struts/springs (thinking 02 wrx)
new front brakes
misc engine sensors
fix the rockers
alloys
and paint it.

Small update - its not the best of paint jobs but I figured what the hell!!



(newly painted car) - need to finish up roof.
this picture was taken just after the car was painted... I'll get up some better pictures up soon


also bought a set of new front brakes and ordering Kyb Gr2 struts this week!

Exciting stuff! Good luck with everything!

Impressive!

You did a great job taping it up. If you REALLY want to make it look professional, you should wet sand it with some 1000 grit paper, respray it and then wet sand it again and then clear coat it. Lots of work, but it'll give it a better finish.

You should swap in or paint the door handles to black. It will look so sick then!

Dante - I was thinking about doing the door handles black.... but what could I use on the "chrome" metal that wouldn't flake or peel?



asc_up - I might just have to do that when I get to that roof.....

I seem to recall coming across a liquid used to etch chrome so that I could be painted way back when my heart still belonged to Mopar.

Put it on the part, let it dry, wash it off, Primer, sand, paint.

should be somthing of the like still around. If your heart set on doing it Id check your local auto-body shops. They would be able to point you in the right direction.

good idea redlined thanks!

you could also just junkyard search some black handles and trim peices.

got some GR-2s yesterday....really need the rear top strut mounts...

Well Got the rear struts in and what a difference!!!!! no more bounce wagon!!!!! soon to come are the front struts, brake pads, tire rotation and alignment. I also need to start looking into the rough idle.. can anyone point me towards some places to look at first?
thanks for looking!

how it looks today




new things since June 09

front fenders

battery

plugs/wires

header

muffler

gt limited rims (test fit w/ tires that came on them 215/60/r16) almost rubbed! good thing the tread was well worn!!! I love the stance it has now

I bought another legacy this past weekend!! I'm planning on using my older leg as a parts car now... so all the new parts I got for it are going on the newer car!


Which model Legacy had black door handles and a small tray under the passenger seat?????



its a 5-speed, got 170,000mi, 4WD!!




its got the air height suspension thing..........the front is FUBAR.....

If you get some painted door handles from a junk yard, you could paint them much easier. Not so easy to find, though. I still need one more for my driver's door.

I was asking about the black handles and the tray under the passenger seat because the one I just bought came with those options....would it be a LS wagon?

I think some kind of base model might have had them as far as I know, the LS and turbos had them painted body color. All LS were automatic, FWIW.

nice thanks Evolution!


I've been driving it for a few days now and it seems to be pretty solid!

Brakes, Struts, Plugs, Wires, Battery, Alloys, and Horn all to come from the parts car.

It's too bad the new one's not green since one of these on the top right would be perfect:

I've been doing some research to try and figure out what model legacy (L, LS, LSi...etc.) the new one is...


from the options that my wagon has and the reading I've done...I've come to this conclusion.

I have just bought a 1994 Legacy Ti outdoor wagon.


1994 Legacy Ti Outdoor wagon came with.....
Legacy L All-Wheel-Drive with value Option Group #2
plus:
wheel covers (gone)
adjustable air suspension, (have)
body color front grill, (gone)
mud flaps, (have)
woven cloth interior (instead of plush), (have)
under passenger seat storage tray, (have)
rubber cargo mat, (gone)
rear cargo net (gone)
luggage rack with Bike attachment, (luggage rack there, Bike attachment not)
rear stabilzer bar, (have)
engine skidplate (gone)
Yellow "Subaru" lettering with pine trees exterior graphics (gone)

always wondered what that storage thing looked like on the Ti's , got a pic?
