[HTi]Johnson Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Hello All. I have access to a 1990 Legacy with 215,000 miles. I can buy the whole car, running, looks nice. Would this be worth it to do an EJ swap? Oh yeah, I can pick it up for $300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
970subaru Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 if the compression is good, even, and the motor is not using a ton of oil, go for it. you could make your money back pretty easy if there are some good parts on the car. you might even resell that legacy as-is if it is clean, and make some money that way. kinda a shame to part out clean legacies when there are so many nasty ones around.

ballitch Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 thats how i got my 1990, but it rusty as crap and had a busted window(that i replaced) it runs great for a car with 245k miles. the shifter bushings are gone and need replacing, and the clutch slipping makes it near impossible to drive. but i got it for $250 and the clutch held out for a year before it started to slip, then it got worse of course. but mines a wagon. you could just rebuild the motor for $300-$400 and call it good, or you could pick up a used ej25 for a little bit more and throw that in there. ~Josh~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
