Dumpster diving- a day at the auto recyclers!

I'm heading to my local pick and pull. I'm pretty sure they have 2 legacies, a wagon and sedan, and i think one is a turbo.. i will grab the front manual belts off of both, but do i need to get the buckles from the front seats?

Also, any other requests for REASONABLE small CHEAP parts, i can possibly take note of.

Yeah shit lol, good call.. i need one too. my trunk popping is very stiff, and previous owner was probably fed up not hearing the trunk pop, and busted it off with the vigorous yanking.

Im pretty sure you do need the whole belt assembly + the slider mechanism, A & B pilliars. I just dropped some off for Mike-Tracy and he said 2nd Gen Legacy GT stuff did work I believe. If it's cheap I would just get it all. :-)

Whats the highest going rate for a full swap for CDN manual belts, in black, with the black interior trim. Everything you need, the panels will work but i may have busted a couple of the clips in the process of pulling. Regardless, real clean set.

I didn't buy them yet because I don't need them. I couldn't believe i found the car still there.. 94 SS Auto 3.9 non lsd, MINT interior, MINT sunroof, which i bought, the body is very very very gone, bulged in rear passenger floor i believe the subframe rotted out? I'm not sure.

car had 276k km on it, last oil change was suppose to be done at 263.. Not sure if they said fuck it we're scrapping it or forgot and blew it up! Engine is very oily on the rocker covers, unlike mine.

Holy cow, if you grab them I would like them. I need to come up with some cash, let me know what you're looking to get when you figure it out and I'll let you know when/if I can cough it up.

Ya, I have no problem helping people out with that either and make my way down to Bellingham quite often. The only problem is the Sh!tty Overpriced wreckers here, which rarely have any first gen Legacy's anyway.

There's literally about 15 SVX's though :roll: That makes no sense, more at the wrecker than there is probably on the road in the entire province !!!

Yeah it's so stupid the amount of money i would pay for them, not to mention it's 25 minutes drive each way.. adds up. lol.

Dang that sucks. Well, I may have to wait then. Local to me I can grab that stuff for like $50USD if there was such a car.
