I just picked this 1992 Subaru Legacy LS this weekend for $650 needing an alternator and a door (both of which I had) ! It has 220k on it but runs like a champ. It was named Spiffy by the P.O. so I have decided to keep the name. So far I have swapped on forester wheels, replaced the RR door, added a new stereo, replaced the alternator, break lines, and I added a weather/compass digital readout from a rs25! So far it's been a good project! I still need to fix the rear quarter from when it got hit and paint the door, along with replace the struts and exhaust. But so far I have no more money into it than the original purchase price due to a vast amount of parts cars Here are some pics!

 

 

 

Not bad.

I like the hammer in the wheel mod! Roman chariot FTW!

Haha More like the hammer so I can get the door open mod! The rear quarter was folded over the old one

Yeah I figured it was there because you need to "persuade" something. The angle of the pic looks like it's stuck in the hub like a spinner!

Hi Spiffy, nice.

make spiffy happy and polish up those turd headlights.

I plan on it. That's another thing I have to add to the list I also want to put on some of the color matched mirrors because these look like garbage!

That would work as well... I have some red ones so I will probably just paint them at the same time as the door, which looks hilarious with the black car! Fits in with all the other Vermont cars now! Hahaha!

haha I love that body lego, I had one and when I had to let it go, I kept my ss front end off of it, so one day, I can buy a lego wagon, and have that front end again. Man I miss the squishy comfy legacy goodness... Mine had 250 and ran like a champ. the auto trans died and I could not get the awd 5 speed swap done...

I love the early lego too, my favorite by far! I was thinking about swapping this one, but i just don't have the time. Plus I had and SVX that I swapped and it was never quite right. Plus these, in my opinion, are one of the best auto transmissions out there with manual mode, and POWER mode! I love it when that green light comes on! Hahaha! If this one dies I have another one with 137k I can drop in! I love parts cars!

dangit, now i miss mine. driving the next gen after that, there are some nice aspects of it, but it's not a first gen, they are just...special. wouldnt trade my brighton, but i have a special place for wagaru 1:banana:

 

great looking wagon!

Thanks for the complements by the way I love your avatar wagaru! I love these gen ones! they are very hard to find where I live so finding a solid one is amazing! I'll post more pics this weekend after I do more work! Spiffing up Spiffy

Tonight I swapped in OB seats, polished the headlights, changed all the fluids, had my dad fab up a cat back exhaust ( I know it's an auto but the old one was rather porous ) and I started on the door and rear quarter that needs attention (I only got black primer on tonight) Tomorrow I might swap in OB struts and finish the body work along with put some other goodies on, along with fix the sunroof, it leaks like crazy

Today's progress "custom intake" and a **** load of body work. Took way to long and it's still not done here is a pick of the new exhaust as well! It sounds amazing and with the added "flow" of the intake it has a real nice h4 rumble!

 

 

 

 

More Progress today! Body matched mirrors, body filler (lots), AWD stickers, and paint!
