1982gl4 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I saw a newer style 2002+ impreza dash in an old coupe once, I'll see if I can dig up some photos. It may take a while.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin823 Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 IM pretty sure that my 81 is much narrower so im not sure it would fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1982gl4 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Well after digging through over a year of my facebook I found the link Here are some pics (it's not a us spec car as it's right hand drive) and it's an older impreza than I thought too, appears to be a first gen pre 97 i'm going to say, as it doesn't have the compartment on top of the dash, and the car is an ea81 coupe (1985) And here is the amazing car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruguru Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 it's so beautiful Cheers R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I love it. IMO its the best of both worlds. Impreza looking interior, GL looking exterior, and lots of refinements. Its what I am after in my 83. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brat Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) I am going to try this and see how well it works in my WRX BRAT. Edited June 27, 2011 by Mr. Brat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) The build thread.....http://www.rslibertyclub.org/forums/showthread.php?t=83793 Edited June 28, 2011 by Turbone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firespray401 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Thanks Turbone for finding the thread. He wrote, "* The dash pad has had alot of mods to length and width and sides. Near on 6 months work in the dash. Alot of trial fits, trimming and more trial fits. The sides had to be built as well as the top corners of the pad assembly." Makes the car IMO. I am impressed with the paint for a DIY. Looks close to the same color as your wagon 1982gl4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subaruguru Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 hmm i wonder how well it might fit into an ea82. Cheers R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 hmm i wonder how well it might fit into an ea82. I've often wondered the same thing... But I can't seem to get my subi to sit still enough to strip it out and find out - only because I'm enjoying what I'm doing with her now Something for the future maybe. My biggest question is how he fitted up the heaters etc. I'm pretty sure from memory that he cut out the firewall to fit the matching heater box from the dash to make it work easier... I'm pretty sure it was him anyway. That car is awesome (the red coupe) and I drooled over it for a long time watching the build.

xbeerd Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 there was a ea82 with a first gen legacy dash floating around, let me see if i can find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbeerd Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3035970/1988-subaru-gl no good pics tho. and why does it seem like only RHD cars get dash conversions here. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I'm toying around with the idea of swapping in an Impreza dash... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsoobdude Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 On my computer that's down I had pics of a Gen2 BRAT with an Impreza gauge cluster in it. Said it more or less bolted right in and it looked really good. I'll see what I can do about getting my computer fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
