They're very rare around here. Only the earlier, slightly darker, Majestic blue seems to be rarer.

its got some pealing paint on the bumpers due to a shotty re-spray.

only bummer is the title is rebuilt, the core support isnt pretty.

so my plan of action is to rip my motor out of my 90' L wagon, clutch and all, plop it in this one and start driving it, 292k is starting to show its ugly side, but the motor has 130k on it when i put it in resealed back in april.

more pics later this week !

went to the local pull-a-parts in my area today and found a new front bumper that HAS paint on it, a drivers side mirror that doesnt have a floppy lens, and a radiator that i may need when i do the motor swap. all totaling about 75$

Looks like it is Teal, not Agean Blue Pearl.

well been busy all week! got the car in the shop checked it out, nothing really wrong other then the head gasket issue and the motor leaking from every seal!

so Monday i washed and vacuumed the car, shampooed the carpets, bad stains.

Tuesday pulled the motor and tore it down on the bench.
motor needs:
water pump
a few idlers
spark plugs
all new gaskets

Wednesday rebuilt both heads, new valve guide seals and hand lapped valves in.

motor is ready to go back together after cleaning all the parts in parts washer, including the block lol

have ebay gasket set on order!

im too impatient to wait for the set, so Saturday im swapping the lower mileage resealed motor out of my other wagon along with suspension, exhaust, wheels/tires, and stereo goodys lol
going to be a busy day! heres some new pics to dwell over.......

Cool to see! congrats on the new wagon! As for the color being rare, it kinda isn't. what is odd though is the back hatch, it looks like the original hatch but the rear badging is from a 1990-1991 legacy wagon.

What is rare however is your interior combination, from the pictures it's looking like it's the dark grey? I've only ever seen like 4 Teal Metallic with the dark grey interior, almost all of them had the tan interior just like mine.
