I'm the filmmaker making the documentary about Miles' trip to rescue Trashwagon 5. After observing the community over the past few weeks, I'm starting to develop an inclination towards finding one of these beasts for myself.

 

I always liked the early-'80's wagons, but I've seen good deals on first-generation Legacy wagons, although those don't seem to have the devoted off-road community behind them. Presently I'm a diehard fan of the '87-'91 Toyota Camry wagon with the 3S-FE four cylinder (huge cargo space and 30 mpg with an auto...plus it's a Toyota!)

 

What exactly am I getting myself into here?

any 85-94 will be best as far as being way into them, off road, or to mod with. being that they are the most common-for-cheap soobs, and pretty much any part of any model will interchange

 

but an ea81 would be more like the trashwagon we will be getting, you will see a truly unique soob in the sheet-metal!

 

personally i like the ea81 bodystyle better, but i like the ea82 motor and 5spd, so of course that is how i put my car together

 

my current ride has all the features of an ea82, more modern, more options, but i am up a step with legacy suspension parts and legacy motor (if i get it together)

 

you cant imagine doing the same types of stuff to some cavalier or taurus...

Subarus are like lego blocks, just snap together pieces and parts from all different models.

I knew it! I knew they'd turn you into a subaru freak! Tim, life as you know it has just taken a strange twist!
