June 24, 201114 yr From a newer subaru into an older one like an 80's model, or a diferent make into a subaru?(mustang dash, camaro, etc)
June 24, 201114 yr I saw a newer style 2002+ impreza dash in an old coupe once, I'll see if I can dig up some photos. It may take a while....
June 24, 201114 yr There are pictures of a legacy dash crammed into a loyale. I have also heard of xt dashes in gl soobs
June 25, 201114 yr Author I saw a newer style 2002+ impreza dash in an old coupe once, I'll see if I can dig up some photos. It may take a while.... Id like to see a picture of that. It might give me an idea for my 81 hatch
June 25, 201114 yr Well after digging through over a year of my facebook I found the link Here are some pics (it's not a us spec car as it's right hand drive) and it's an older impreza than I thought too, appears to be a first gen pre 97 i'm going to say, as it doesn't have the compartment on top of the dash, and the car is an ea81 coupe (1985) And here is the amazing car
June 26, 201114 yr I love it. IMO its the best of both worlds. Impreza looking interior, GL looking exterior, and lots of refinements. Its what I am after in my 83.
June 26, 201114 yr that actually really makes me want to put a first gen impy dash in my brat..... hmmmmmm the wheels in my head keep on turning:banana: Cheers R.
June 26, 201114 yr Author Well, that certainly inspires me Off to the wrecking yard! Second to that!! That car is BAD
June 27, 201114 yr I am going to try this and see how well it works in my WRX BRAT. Edited June 27, 201114 yr by Mr. Brat
June 28, 201114 yr The build thread.....http://www.rslibertyclub.org/forums/showthread.php?t=83793 Edited June 28, 201114 yr by Turbone
June 28, 201114 yr Thanks Turbone for finding the thread. He wrote, "* The dash pad has had alot of mods to length and width and sides. Near on 6 months work in the dash. Alot of trial fits, trimming and more trial fits. The sides had to be built as well as the top corners of the pad assembly." Makes the car IMO. I am impressed with the paint for a DIY. Looks close to the same color as your wagon 1982gl4.
June 28, 201114 yr His channel has more videos and one of another coupe. http://www.youtube.com/user/85wrx Edited June 28, 201114 yr by Firespray401
June 28, 201114 yr My roomate and I found all of this guy's threads and videos and actually linked Rob to them:grin: He also has a blue EA81 coupe with an EJ20 N/A engine, plus the EJ20G in his red coupe:banana:

June 29, 201114 yr hmm i wonder how well it might fit into an ea82. I've often wondered the same thing... But I can't seem to get my subi to sit still enough to strip it out and find out - only because I'm enjoying what I'm doing with her now Something for the future maybe. My biggest question is how he fitted up the heaters etc. I'm pretty sure from memory that he cut out the firewall to fit the matching heater box from the dash to make it work easier... I'm pretty sure it was him anyway. That car is awesome (the red coupe) and I drooled over it for a long time watching the build. Cheers Bennie
June 29, 201114 yr there was a ea82 with a first gen legacy dash floating around, let me see if i can find it.
June 29, 201114 yr http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3035970/1988-subaru-gl no good pics tho. and why does it seem like only RHD cars get dash conversions here. LOL
June 30, 201114 yr On my computer that's down I had pics of a Gen2 BRAT with an Impreza gauge cluster in it. Said it more or less bolted right in and it looked really good. I'll see what I can do about getting my computer fixed.
