So I picked up a winter beater

[STi-zy Wagon]

'99 legacy GT in spruce pearl

Susan's long lost biological twin

Tran's is tight, interior is spotless (first GT I've seen without leather), and it runs pretty good. I bought it for a parts car for the wagon.

The plan is to run it through the winter than swap the tranny and rear diff. to my car. Also steel the side skirts, and maybe the hood.

The only thing wrong with the sedan is that its pretty damn rusted. I ended up patching five rust holes to get a sticker. The underbody

is very scaly. So i'll probably be parting it out sometime next spring/summer.

Which hood do you guys like better? stock? or modified with a wrx hood scoop?

I like the hood on the wagon now. I always thought the blister-style was a little wussy.

switch the mirrors too! and maybe the fogs

deff keep the modified hood

I like the sedan hood for stealth, but because of what the wagon is, leave the WRX scoop!!

 

[Legwagon]

I vote stock GT hood, and like Jcovey said the mirrors and the fogs as well!

are the wheels OK on the sedan? those 16" Leggy mesh wheels are one of the best OEM wheelz Subaru ever put on their cars. very tough, very resistant to corrosion-caused air leaks as they age

My cousin (a girl) has that same car in gold. She has had to replace 3 tires and 2 rims since she bought it. One of the rims cracked.

sounds like somebody needs to pay better attention about hitting potholes and such?

Nice find, I'll definitely keep an eye out for when you have extra parts for sale

Jcovey2.5 - I will be swapping out mirror, (color matched looks mucho better) and fog lights, and a ton of various interior pieces.

Nigel Prodrive - The 16's are in good shape, rubber was no good. I will be buying winter tires for them very soon and get them back on.

I'm still debating on which hood I like better. I agree with shagginwagon that the stock is a bit wussy, but there is something nice about having the "right hoodscoop" for the car. We'll see.

Car is pretty fun for being a beater. I put in a kartboy STS, so now its my "race back and forth to work vehicle" haha

Nice dude. Looks so sweet. I have always been a fan of the gt's. Keep your hood 4 sure.
