Progression of my cars...

Someone told me that its kinda hard to follow which car is mine because I've had three ALMOST identical ones... all post facelift white factory 5mt....

So I figured I'd make a thread with all three of my almost identical Legacy Turbos... My build thread is too cluttered to do this... and it only covers the 92 tleg and the 94... but not the 93

First Legacy Turbo... and my first car...

93 White Factory 5mt... Stock except for WRX suspension. 115k-150k miles

Then... After I wrecked it...

I bought this...

92 White Factory 5mt... Started stock... blew the stock motor... then did other things... and then built a whole new motor...

Also had the interior of the 93 in it...

When I bought it it looked like this.

Then I built the motor... err... well completely new motor...

Then I made an awesome discovery... A 94 White Sport Sedan Shell w/ 63k miles...

So I bought it... and ditched the 92 shell

Here are the swap pics...

Sweet! I wondered how your cars body got lots better looking...didn't know that. Was the old car or the new at WCSS this year?

Well at WCSS10 I had the 92... Still basically bone stock minus the intake and exhaust... and the WRX Wheels...

It looked really bad then...

Then this year at wcss11 I had cleaned it up a bit with LOTS of buffing and waxing, which helped quite a bit.

So the 92 was at this last wcss when you saw it... Only Doug, Dale (livestrongs dad), Redlined, 92ss satinsvoice, and thehookeup have seen the new car, the 94 so far in person.

And Bdub... Trust me... the white was not my first choice... I originally wanted winestone or black but as luck would have it... All I've ever been able to fin was white.

Ok. be careful with this one...

I think we're approaching the anniversary of your first car's demise (a sweet one too) and I see that you are planning a winter drive meet-up.

Of course I know too well the ass-hattery tends to ensue on these drives...

Remember you may be a better mechanic but your driving hasn't changed that much, ha, ha!

I want that garage to!!

And the pics dont really show the "true" 92... they make it look decent... when in reality it looked like a pile of shit... Beat to bloody hell from the previous owners. It also had 250k miles on it... the 94 is almost perfect shape, only parts that arent are the hood and front bumper and grill because they came off of the 92. Oh and the 94 has 66,000 miles.

Zach... Your so full of shit... If that was your garage you wouldnt have needed Dave and myself to do the work. Even though Dave ended up doing it all.

What are you running for springs now?
I just picked up a set of Tanabe coils because I'm bored with the 04wrx stock springs, and holy hell the car is slammed. Not quite sure I'm digging it, haha.
