i would like every one too meet my wheels, her name is lilly




550$ needs head gaskets, 162k 5mt awd L

Sweeet! Looks really good. Nice rare colour too!

You 100% it needs a headgasket?

that color is far from rare in seattle there is one on every corner, and yes hg are done!

very nice, I really like that color as well regardless of how rare it is!

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.

Awesome !

Gonna Lift it ?

uh no.....i got sti struts and springs on my other wagon so swap over, in the above pic the motor is out, so the front end is lifted up alittle...

Congrats on the wagon! She looks great!

its done!!!! spent all day at work swapping over every thing from my 90'. went down to Seattle with my friend and put 116miles on it in a night just cruising all over the place taking pics, heres some cool shots.

some new pics from today, in the day light!

done alot in the last year to lilly, new wheels/tires, tint etc. been dumping all my time/money into my rx7 though. here are some pics
