To pre-facelift my wagon or not

So I currently have a 91 Tleg that I have been working on for 5+ years and can be seen in my rarely updated build journal. Rust has been slowly eating it away and is starting to take it's toll. In addition I recently acquired a 93 touring wagon with a blown motor. I have been thinking of moving all my stuff from the 91 SS to the 93 TW. All my stuff....including all bolt-ons, oil cooler setup, standalone ECU, injectors and the full 5mt swap including hydraulic clutch assembly and the LSD.

My question is, should I move over my 91 front end with full EDM headlights/fog lights and have a very rare pre-facelift turbo wagon?...I don't think they made a 91 turbo wagon at all.

Thoughts?

I would go for it. You would have a one of a kind. There were no pre facelift TW here. I always thought that would be a really neat project/

I am definitely leaning toward swapping the front end.

By buddy cotruckin (Jarrid) is doing this. He lives there in Denver and is swapping everything over to a TW after being rear ended in his 91ss. Everything should bolt right up and the pre-face looks better in my opinion.

We all know the pre-face is the best front end anyway. I say go for it.

Disagree, I am more fond of the 92-94 rear end. But i really miss my 91 TW

To the OP, You'll wanna find a 95-99 Outback Wagon spoiler. Search my build might have a pic or two on it. Ended up lookin really good.

They are custom made by a local shop in Toronto, Canada. Made from a set of stock subaru steel rims then got them widened 2.5" and painted primer gray. I'm thinking about red for next season.

Not a fan of the pre-facelift on wagons. Just my 2 pennies.
