warning lots of bad cell phone pics
Some of you may remember reading my post about my 92 satin black legacy http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=39656

Well as time went on the rust just kept getting worse till the point where i said enough is enough and bought a new shell.
1993 legacy L
N/A, auto, no sunroof


Image
plans for the car was to strip it down and swap all turbo parts and 5 speed from old car into this clean shell

Looks good. I think it needs to be raised a little tad, but that's me. :)

clear those amber plates on your tail lights and i think you will never have to do anything to the outside of your car again.

love the wagon

Re-black your lower grille. Not a fan of the painted trim either, but overall I love the look you achieved.
