1998 Subaru Legacy GT wagon - rallywagongian - 03-06-2014
So heres my car when I first got it...came from my dad, with only 68k miles on it. Stock Stock Stock.
2.2L Flat 4, pushing about 150hp at the crank. No power windows, no power locks. 2 speakers. 5 speed manual. When my dad got this car, it was the bare bone most stripped down version you could buy.
Slow as hell, and still is... First time I went to do donuts after it had rained.

About 4 months after getting the car under my name, A JMU girl was traveling at 50mph on reservoir st. and didn't see I had stopped at the stop light and slammed into me so hard I was pushed into the car in front of me. Yay! Both my parents were in my car at the time, my dad in the passenger seat and my mom in the back. My dad seemed fine but my mom's neck was hurting really bad. To this day she's still going through physical therapy and what not. Pictures below are of the wreck, and yes the car was totaled by the insurance company.

Car had frame damage, so got a few estimates... apparently shops wanted upwards of $6000 to do a frame pull and new bumpers. Nope... found a guy named Jason Christ in Broadway who does bodywork on the side... Fixed/painted/filled/frame pulled all for $1000. Yup thats a bargain. If anyone needs some bodywork done, let me know and Ill get you his number. See below the work he has done.
New front bumper and paint

So put the roof rack back on, and re attached the mudlfaps after everything was done.
Next came the light bar!! ibjeepin95 on the MM forum, Colton Ringgold welded up some electrical conduit, and formed up a light bar.

Haha no lowering it. Have some 04 WRX wheels that will be going on in spring.
Re: 1998 Subaru Legacy GT wagon - Maengelito - 03-06-2014
Interested in some silver '04 STi BBS wheels (the coveted 5x100 bolt pattern)? I'm looking for a set of 16"s which I think the 04 WRX wheels are and it could help offset the cost.

Re: 1998 Subaru Legacy GT wagon - rallywagongian - 09-02-2014
Well updates after the wreck, New light bar, compliments of ibjeepin95 (colton)
-New wheels! finally found a set of 04 Ltd wrx wheels, threw those on and painted them white!
-07 WRX seats to replace the ones i had, since they were broken from the wreck
-New-er rally armor mudflaps (you know because I own a subaru and if i didnt have them I'd be a pansy)
-K&N air filter for mad horsepowers
-New head gaskets, timing belt, rack and pinion, brakes all around, tie rods, and ball joints!
-JDM side markers and paint match panel trim
-Window tint that I did myself and managed to only screw it up a little bit
-2004 WRX suspension all around!
In the future, I will have 1in. lowering springs, 25mm sway bars front and rear, and maybe a full exhaust if I can afford it. (Gotta have those UEL headers for that Subie rumble!)
Enjoy some updated pictures of my swagger wagon
Reddish knob's reservoir (Should totally do a cruise up there!)
