  1. i don't have my subie near done for the road yet but i should be coming with my buddy. he is taking his volvo down with the volvospeed club.
  2. LOVE THE GTP !!!! we had one a few years ago and had some work done to it. it was a fun toy ! i have an 86 gl-10 if you need parts. this has a digi dash not shure if it works i didnt try to start the car yet , then again im only using it as a parts car.
  3. I'll take pix and post of the gl10 i got with it tomarrow.
  4. 88 gl i just bought. and the gl10 that came with it has 114000 on it.
  5. my new 88 gl project wagon 5 speed w/ d/r. going to get 2" lift, 215/75/15'5, wheel wheel trimming, body work and paint. remember i bought this one and a gl10 for $150. weather getting good now i can start working on it.
  6. Can't afford the kit I want right now. Just want to get it up to fit my 215/75/15's. I'm not worried about trimming fenders.
  7. I have been looking at the sjr lifts but just want to get it up for now. I was thinking the 2.5" or 3". Will the spacers from an outback work to drop it?
  8. cant quit find the answer in looking for. when i lift my gl i know 2" will not bind the axles but if i go 3" with out dropping the rest will the axles bind up? just want to make shure i dont brake anything.
  9. i am getting the gl for $150 and the gl-10 for free. can't beat that. will post pics when i get them to my home.
  10. good thing you talked him out of the audi. they are the same as a vw JUNK! talk about nightmare cars stay away from audi and vw!
  11. 1982gl4 nice looking car bro ! good work !
  12. i guess chip foose is wasting all his time fixing old rusted cars and making them new too. damn he made a ton of money wasting time. some people love fixing cars weather it be a subaru gl to a vw jetta to a dodge aries. its the love of doing it. as far as rusting in a few years tou have to fix it right first. dont just rivet sheet metal to it and bondo it. of course it will rust back out in 2 years. if you do it right the first time it will last many years. its the love of the build gd. no one is telling you not to put toyota parts in a subaru just because they dont like toyotas. i would rather put a 4.0l jeep drivetrain and dana 44's in a subaru , but i dont have the money to do that. its just the automoblie love that we have. if we all liked the same things it would be a boring world. a JEEP GUY looks at it like this , if it brakes , BUILD IT BIGGER AND BETTER !!!! and yes i was thinking about the lsd swap too. that is the first thing i looked to see if it had and what gears.
  13. THANK YOU MILESFOX !!!! i was on craigslist in central pa area and saw a just for $2000 wtf ! and a brat with no title for $800 people around here are crazy. its hard to find a good car cheap around here. i got lucky when i got the 91 legacy wagon for $500 but that needed a trans. would rather do body work than have to replace a heavy trans. but would do it if i had to again.
  14. the 95 legacy postal we just got rid of was in worst shape and twice the miles. rockers were rotted and the rear wheel well were gone. had to replace fuel lines too. the car was from ny at the begining of its life and was in bad shape. glad that one is gone. both gl's have great interior and the same color and need no work. only have to do external work.
  15. yes pa has hard inspection laws. i should know i'm an inspection mechanic. so for time and money. i have sheet metal , a welder , body filler and everything to make it pretty again. as for cost very little , time is no big deal. yes i'll have a parts car if i need it. i built a 90 jeep wagoneer (xj) and only had about $2500 into it including the cost of the jeep. it had 6" lift 33" tires custom bumper 9500lbs winch and alot more stuff. redoing a project to put it on the road again - PRICELESS !!!
