Wife wrecked the OBS a couple of weeks ago. (she's fine) After a brief fight with the insurance co, we got the $ amount we were after.

 

 

 

Took that money and 500 more and found the new one. Man am I happy about it! 70k original miles, it's a 99 and a 5 speed. And it's the right color and everything. Totally cherry. We had to drive 150 miles to go get it, but it was so worth it. Needs struts and a stereo. No biggie. (and yeah, it has rear shoulder belts. Thanks for chiming into my other thread)

 

very nice gc8 i have the same year and body , but mines an automatic

glad to hear everyones safe looks like a nasty accident

congrats on the new addition to the family! looks like a keeper, and sounds even sweeter. Hope she treats you well for many years to come!

First glance at that I thought it was a Corolla! I gotta go to bed!

 

Congrats on the great buy.

I'm Glad to Know that you Solved that Problem with a Happy Ending...

Kind Regards.

Excellent looking car!

Glad to see you found another one so quickly. Best of luck with it.

It'll get new gr2s and RS springs and the 20mm rear sway from the wrecked one. THen, once it rides a little better, I won't mind driving it. I'm so accustomed to driving mine that hers feels like a Caddy with its stock suspension. I don't know how anybody could drive an impreza with all that roll. . .

 

Update though. She got in a fender bender and made my front bumper look not so nice while in a parking lot last night. I just might take the new one for my own. I'm just barely pissed. or a lot pissed.

she is on a roll

Sweet lookin' Imp you got there. Very tidy!! Maybe some JDM WRX bumpers, hood, spoiler would make it look nice - if you guys can source em over there!!!

Naw, this one can stay mostly stock looking, and yes, we can get those things here. I just want it to ride more like a sports car and less like a jalopy.

 

In her defense, the first accident wasn't her fault. . .

Alright, looks like the sedan is mine due to circumstances beyond my control. The wagon will get sold. . .

I'll take money from the wagon's sale and do up the sedan a little. But for now, here it is these days.

 

That is looking very sharp!

Now that's a proper looking Subaru! Sharp indeed.

Holy Cow. I swapped the new struts and RS springs in and yikes. sexy.

Few more little touches left still. . .

When I first saw it all I could think was: "Needs an RS/OBS hood and different wheels".

 

You beat me to it. Those 5 spoke RS wheels look great on that car. I vote gold though. Gold on that Silverthorne Metallic looks great in my opinon.

Ok, lobbiers against the black. Too late. :-p

Love black wheels! Looking very sharp!

Black looks sexy. I kinda miss the wagon though. Need another decal for the roof?

No really though. I'll buy another if you'll apply it.

 

Wagon will be for sale in about a week. . .

Lately.
