Hello from the Beach!


Recommended Posts

Hey! I'm a longtime NASIOC member and have been out of the Subaru game for a little but some Craigslist surfing brought me back! Picked up a 1983 Subaru GL yesterday and I'm remembering why I love these cars!

 

The car is a 5 speed, 92k original miles, incredibly clean inside and out, and has a ton of life left in it. This should be a fun project to start working with.

(My '86 300zx there, 89k original miles. Another craigslist gem)

Welcome!

 

Your Subaru looks like it got its Suspension, Lowered; somehow...

 

But it looks nice and Clean.

 

Kind Regards.

 

I'm not 100% sure on how he did it. It looks like in the back the previous owner just used the torsion bar to do so, and he had just done the front struts. Possibly with another model that sits lower? This is my first classic Subaru so I'm still learning whats changed over the years. I'll have to give him a shout and ask.

Thinking about it. Found a set of Rota Grids in the 4x140 bolt pattern. 15" though, so I need to check fitment.
