LeviBrutal Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Hi I bought a 94 Honda Civic for $500 and my XBOX 360 and traded that for a 1987 Subaru GL-10 and couldn't be happier. I live in Texas and have never seen another one around and my co-workers call it the slab wagon. Just want to say thank you and hope to have fun here on USMB!

Sounds like a good trade, the GL's have a special place in my heart for sure. I currently own an 87 GL10, and two 89 GL's. All project cars but once the warmer weather comes I will become more of a garage rat. There is tons of info here and a lot of it needs to be searched for. Post some pics of the car if you could:headbang: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cj7135 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Haha, love that car. Never had one that generation, but I could only imagine it's granny's grocery wagon on steroids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93Newbaru Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Thats what I figured, you guys have all the luck down south and out west. Looks like it's in really nice shape. We have a handful of them around here, all rusted out or on their way to be. The only reason my 87 is basically rust free is because it was transported a few times from NC, and it still has some wicked paint fade. As far as lifting, SJR is the way to go. http://www.sjrlift.com/ He will get you up to 6", and that is pretty big if you look in the gallery section.

LeviBrutal Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Yeah that is whatf I was planning on going with and eventually do some sort of drivetrain swap, I tried looking at what rear ends, transmission, and like suspension components can be retrofited mostly looking at axles and control arms that I could bolt in to get a wider wheelbase. Also would do a motor swap looking into EJ20 to stay turboed or EJ25 for NA fun and just do basic bolt ons and spec for good low end torque. Also my car is a bucket but I like it. It has some rust but pretty well taken care of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
