No good results. I managed fitting the rear impreza seats from an99-01 impreza. However they sit really tall and since I don't have some from an impreza sport wagon they don't fold. I will fit up the fronts today or this weekend. I am just concerned of them sitting to high. I think I will use 93 Impreza L seats versus RS seats since L sits much lower. For the rear I think some shopping around will be in need for some new cloth. I was considering keeping the plaid inserts and replacing the vynal with a black coth or maybe black vynal. What do you think? Also on the topic of interiors what door panels will fit the fronts? Here's my pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/81042185@N00/

Well I am gonna go do an impreza rear seat as much as I am partial to the plaid. My only convern is the stock bottom's height. I will post pics in a minute or two. Than I will work on the fronts. I only have a drill and a million but/bolts so we shall see. Will post pics of this and the car to my other threar asap.

I love the safari roof rack. Can you tell me what he charges? Are they aluminum? Any idea what they weigh? Thanks

Sounds good I hope to meet you all sometime soon. By the way I am only a few hours away from my getting my GL. I feel like a kid on Chistmas eve heh. I already started a mini shopping spree! I went to the local autozone and bought what I could anyway. They don't stock anything there! I got out of there with a PCV and an oil filter. They had no fuel,air,breather. Oh yes I was able to get some Denso plugs. I also picked up some metal etching primar so I can repaint the light bar. So if I am able to get a nap in I will be working on the lil monster most of the night.

I notice with every project car I have owned everyone else who owns them are out west! It seems a lot of guys on here are Co or Wa. So how about New England? I was talking to a guy from NASIOC and he was talking about meeting up after I get my car on the road. I was curious to know if there is any New England folks on here and if you have meets. I have been scrolling through subject lines but I don't recogonize any place in mention. Thanks, John

Some of you from NASIOC may know me from me recent posts from the "old school" forum. Well I was posting about GLs and there was one I have been seeing around town and as fate would have it I ran up yesterday morning to leave a not on the guy's car in regards to purchasing it and he called me by end day and stated he was just aboutto junk it since he got a new car. So Later today I will pick it up. He told me it needs a clutch/clutch cable,ball joint and rear window. So once I get it I want to dive ina nd start working on things. I would like to know some of the things that tend to go out at this age. Granted I have not went over to see what is fairly new. My plan is changing parts that are just old and don't really need changing yet so I can be on the safe side. My intentions are for the fall/winter so I really want to get it in best shape for than. If you guys would help me please tell me: 1)What parts tend to go the most and what goes about this age (aprox 160k) 2)What would areas would you suggest I checky closely for wear/damage. My next area I would like to work on would be major upgrades. I start a little bit of talk on NASIOC on a turbo engine. To my understanding there is a Chaser in Canada that had one that will fit up as well as a later year (GL or DL?) that will as well. 1)Are these engines the same as the Chaser? 2)If these engines are differnt is one a simple bolt in? 3)Will old motor mounts work or will new mounts from the turbo model fit to the exsisting chasis (82GL)? 4)Is there any hard fabracation I will have to do? 5)How does the trans hold up to a turbo engine? Sorry I am not yet familar with the engine codes and years. Is there a list or can someone give me a quick break down on this. The GL I am getting has a light bar in the front I was curious to know of all the extras Subaru offered for the early GLs,Brats etc. Also I was looking in the gallery and saw someone's GL with a nice safari style roof rack. Does anyone know which ones fit or the dimensions people used. I won't be able to measure the car until tonight so if you don't know off hand I will post later. The roof racks I saw online were: http://www.everythingsuv.com/surco_safari_roof_racks-esuv.asp Which seem nice and lightweight but still would love to hear feedback on these or any others you may have used. Next I was considering upgrading the interior granted I can find an interior to purchase. Long ago one of my first cars was a DL or GL? I remember it was a grey sedan with charchol colored interior. It had a digital dash. Has anyone fitted any of the newer dash boards in an older model? Also how hard is fitting some imprea seats? I have a spare set from my 93 wagon. The owner did not want to pay 300 for a new rear window and he had a friend with a race car who had lexan and so he made a lexan window. Which is fine by me but I would like to seal it. Is there any painless way of doing this? I see on race cars they rivit them but thats it. Maybe rivets and silicon? OK I will leave this at that since no one is probally reading this far lol. Anyway thanks for any and all help. If anyone is in New England drop me a line.
