its not so much rallying for winning anything, but more so i can learn to hone my rallying skills. and i know its better to start underpowered to build the necessary feel for the car. so long is its not turbo i should be able to achieve the same with an early impreza.

thanks for all the constructive replies, youve helped a great deal, at first it looked like it would be a piece of cake but i came to you guys to make sure before i dropped a dollar on anything. as suggested i have concluded not to take to hatch and have already found several 91-95 imprezas for under 1500 in the area. down the road however if i run into 2 subarus that are compatible ill prolly jump on it cause it just sounds like fun reviving old cars. and for me subaru is just the only way to go.

ya the hatch is a stick with a pull lever 4wd (which i havnt seen before, i thought they were all push button on the stick)

i know the hatch has been sitting for about a year, but only at the yard for about a month, so i imagine thats about how long it was without a radiator. how extensive would damage be from that? is it simply hook up a radiator and top it off again and it should be fine after flushing it out? also how damaged does a little rust make the stub off the axle for the front right, can i just brush it down to steel and put it back together?

im looking at building a subaru out of 2 parts cars i found at the junk yard a few days ago, they said theyd give them to me for about 250$. one is an 86 gl10 with no motor and any number of other missing pieces, the other i believe is an 87 justy? (not 100% sure of this, as i dont know older subarus that well) which appears to be missing only a radiator, battery, and a front right wheel and bearing assembly. this would be my first project car and im not certain if im getting in over my head, however i am very excited about this. i currently drive a 97 legacy outback 2.5, i love the car and ive been practicing alot of rally driving with it. however i am concerned im going to get the car into a wreck, and as its my only daily driver car, i need a more disposable vehicle to get sideways with in the dirt. anywho, heres some pics/links of the 2 cars, im curious what you guys think about how doable this is and what kind of compatability there is between the machines. keep in mind im not a master technition with all the tools in the world avalible, but i have turned a few wrenches in my time. the justy is the one i intend to finish off the parts of the gl10 if possible, and improvising elsewhere. http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l154/Enderdragoon/Justy/ http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l154/Enderdragoon/GL10/
