gfrg88 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 What's up USMB!!! Just picked up an 85 GL Wagon last night. Needs a lot of work, but can't complain for $200!!! I'll get some pics up later on tonight when I get home. I'm very new to subarus (first soobie) but definately not new to cars at all!! I have an Acura TL that I am currently gonna park in the garage while I stroke the engine to a 3.7 :woot: Anyways, I got this just to drive it to and from work, and for the snow. BUT after lurking around here a bit, I wanna just drive the TL and build the wagon!!! Hopefully I'll get some nice goodies for it here soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swampbrat Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 For the most part , they are simple to work on and fairly interchangable. For the tough questions you have this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there's just soo much info in here!! I'm going through everything to try and learn everything there is to this car. So far a lot of the things pretty easily interchangeable. I'm looking around for a lift kit right now, and also an engine swap to be able to actually move the thing around lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfrg88 Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 So I just found out I am the SECOND owner of this car :banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goobysoobs Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 So I just found out I am the SECOND owner of this car :banana: Well that's always good, yeah on my '88 wagon I'm the third owner but the second owner owed it for less then a month. And so far it looks like the original owner took decent care of it mostly becasue when i did a tune up everything was in order and it had the premium cables and plugs that and it only has 164xxx miles.
