Bucky92 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) Saturday, myself ..with the help of njdrsubaru went to look at a possible future Pine Barrens ride. A 95 Legacy LS wagon the seller said needed a tranny. It was a make offer car and we had given a tentative sight unseen offer which the seller accepted. We go to Northern NJ Sat during the snow to see the car. I let Neo have his head since he definately knows his way around a legacy and is extremelt thorough. Hooked up his tester to see why the check engine light is on.. was all over the car checking everything imaginable. All of which I fully appreciate cause he really doesnt have to. Anyway..it does need a good bit of work but maybe by early summer it will be ready for some mild romps in the Pine Barrens..It will clean up nicely and best of all..ended up getting it for $250. Good: Body very solid..minor scraps and next to no rust motor starts right up and runs strong..as a slight misfire on cyl 2 new Cats..timing belts..tires and alt prbably some more that I cant think of. Interior Mint. its White!! I love white wagons! The Bad.. Has some rear subframe rust..will need addressed. Tranny is iffy..may need to swap it.. yet on test drive it did shift but fluids extremely burnt Front diff was dry aweful clunking coming from the front..could be diff or could be something in the brakes or the axles but it cannot be driven . Basically with a few weekends and a couple trips to Harrys ..we think I will have my future lifted wagon...its not an EA82 but in these parts they are as rare as hens teeth. Kind of planning on twinning it to Neos 95 after seeing how capable that car is. Thank You Neo..your the bestest!! Here are a couple pics..more to come once it gets to my house and we start the work: alittle dirty: Edited January 16, 2009 by Bucky92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Nice find! I'm looking forward to seeing it get all fixed up and lifted!!! Seeing all these lifted Legacys makes me want one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOthis Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 cant beat it for $250 especially for a Gen 1 EJ22... How many miles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 That is a really nice find. Change the trany fluid, add some diff lube, maybe a tune up, and you could be ready to go. I suppose you are way ahead of me in the thought process. Keep us posted on, on what it takes to put this car back on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostinthe202 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Nice, that is $250 well spent! How much lift are we talking? Will- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky92 Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Nice, that is $250 well spent! How much lift are we talking? Will- For now its just going to get Outback struts ..that will give it a couple inches...maybe ..if I can afford them I will go with the King Springs that adds some really nice lift. I also plan on using the car some to help keep miles off my Imp... 30K in a year is far too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostinthe202 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I also plan on using the car some to help keep miles off my Imp... 30K in a year is far too much. Yeah tell me about it, my 100 mile a day commute plus all the camping trips I take in far away states is really racking up the miles on my '96 OBW (I'll be breaking 200k before my next oil change and I've put 80k on it since I bought it in late 2006!!). This car is a road-dog, more Hulk Hogan and Less Fabio in the looks department so it'll get driven 'till the wheels fall off. Be sure to post pics of the lift (as if I need to say it:grin:) Will- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subyfreak Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Congrats on the new family member. Subarus are getting quite popular in my area and the prices are starting to follow. $250 is less than scrap value here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hey Connie, If you are interested I can send you all the blocks from my Outback part-out that lift the body from the subframes, and the bolts, for just the price of shipping. I also have the control arms for front and rear, but I dont know If I want to ship those... The struts are taken already. Let me know! Also I *might* build some 4 inch lift kits based on that outback as well, but prolly not for a while. -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
