83hockeywagon Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) 83 GL, 4wd, 4sp. My second Subaru and second 83 4wd wagon. Being from the PNW there have always been soobs in the circle of family and friends. It's pretty clean for a 30 year old car with 246000 miles. The usual interior and exterior wear and tear. The only things I've found that do not work are the rear defrost and the right turn signal doesn't cancel. The engine runs strong and smooth. It is the original engine (as far as I can tell) I have the original manuals and some receipts. Engine numbers match what was written in the manual by the dealer. Don't know if it's been rebuilt. My plan is to keep it a mostly stock daily driver. I'm putting all the pieces together for a weber swap. Next will be a new exhaust to remedy the leaky and rusty one it has now. Also putting in some new rear shocks soon. Edited February 16, 2015 by 83hockeywagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

83hockeywagon Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Moss green with tan, that is correct. My last 83 wagon was white/blue, with sharpie flames compliments of a buddy at work. I wish cell phones had cameras back then. I don't have any pics of the old one. My daughter named it Whitey (she was four at the time). Her and my mom have named this one Ollie:) Actually traded my Scion Tc in on a car for her to drive. Doing the dad thing I swore I'd never do: kid has the nice car to drive, dad has the beater. I bought this one knowing it would be a project. Turning out to be a great daily driver. I'm really enjoying tinkering with it:) I bet that silver/blue looks sharp!
