I was a member of USMB many, many years ago (2000-2003) and lost contact due to the arrival of a Legacy to replace my L-series and XT back then. I still own a pair of Legacy's now, but I'm getting excitedly close to owning a 1982 Hatch EA81 4WD! I thought it would be appropriate to register again!
The Hatch I might be able to take over from a friend needs tender, love and care - lots of it, actually - and a new drivetrain as it is sans engine and tranny. Luckily the current owner already modified the chassis rails to accomodate a DOHC EJ-series engine, which is exactly what I intend to install - if the deal gets done.
I've got a lot of other technical niceties planned (obviously a 5-lug conversion but not like any other you have seen I think) but I will elaborate once I have the car in my garage - which reminds me, I will have to throw away a lot of junk/parts to make space for it!
