pwoens Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I have two turbo 88 subaru wagons but need to sell one. Heres the lineup: Blue 1988 5spd full time 4wd with lsd medium rust 160k on car blown head digidash ok brakes ok struts pwr sunroof pimp interior good tires hub caps turbo cold ac grey 1988 5spd minimal rust push button 4wd no lsd minimal rust 220k on car good heads analog dash brand new brakes brand new struts no sunroof stinky interior bad tires no hubcaps turbo no ac Im thinking about pulling all the drivetrain and bad motor out of the blue car.....rebuilding the motor and slapping it all in the gray car. Then take everything from the grey car, put it in the blue car, and sell the blue car for 800-1000 bucks. This would give me the grey car with full time 4wd and lsd with a motor that should last for a while?? What would you do?? How long does it typically take to pull the motor, trans, and diff off one of these wagons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I would keep both. lol Fix up the blue one, use the parts from the Gery one to fix BLue one. After all, sounds liek blue is a GL-10....bettAr car overall. Use new stuff from gery to fix blue. Put the 'ok' stuff on the grey...either keep it for parts, daily driver, or fix it up to be reliable and sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwoens Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 both are runnable and in decent shape so I gotta get rid of one Heres some pics of the rust on the GL10. WJM...you are correct....my grey one is a GL turbo, not GL10. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showgallery.php?cat=618 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiemech85 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 just put the grey heads on the blue engine save the blue make grey the donor is the lsd viscous? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanislru Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Make one the best of both, sell the 2nd. To swap things over like you said takes me about 1 full day. Island time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwoens Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 just put the grey heads on the blue engine No need cause I got a set of heads already for the blue one....and a complete reseal gasket set. make grey the donor I cant bring myself to it. Its in great shape and could do someone as a real good driver. There are no issues with the grey car except 2nd gear rinds a little....and it hesitates a little. Nothing major though. is the lsd viscous? Not sure??? How do I tell?? It says "full time 4wd" on the door??? Havent looked at the diff sticker yet??

Thats what I want to do. Just cant make up my mind on which one to keep. The blue GL10 would be the keeper hands down, but the rust scares me. Thats the only bad part about the GL10. It will have brand new heads and complete reseal by the weekend. But I can pull all of the engine/tranny/full time lsd and put it on the grey 88gl too (which has less rust)???
