My 1990 Subaru Loyale Wagon

*This original post will be updated as I work on it and take more pictures*

 

Alright, so when I bought this in April, I did post some pictures and whatnot. However, that thread has basically been lost and I have done some work on it since. I bought the car for $825, and since then, it has 257,200+ miles on the odometer. It's really clean for the price, and it's in good shape mechanically. It's a five speed, with working push button 4WD. It's got $500 work of new exhaust, the original owner's manual (and all other paperwork), and she runs beautifully. These are the pictures that I have of it. I need to take more of it in it's current state. Most of the pictures I have are when I bought it, and a few things have changed since then.

 

 

Below is a list of all the things I have done to the car (for you, and so I know what to tell the previous owner when I meet with him for the first time since I bought it). All parts that have been pulled off another car were taken from the Pick-N-Pull in Lynnwood, WA.

 

Work I've done on this car:

 

-Used tires/wheels

-New driver side headlight lens (pulled from a '90 Loyale wagon)

-New passenger side headlight lens (pulled from an '87 GL hatch)

-New passenger side speaker (pulled from a '90 Loyale wagon)

-New driver side turn signal light bulb

-Tightened handbrake

-New battery

-New front brake pads

-Installed offroad lights (well, driving lights)

-New 4WD decal on rear

-Diagnosed the check engine light (took me forever to figure out how!!)

-Replaced front passenger axle

-Cheated through emissions

-Got the car registered

-Installed a pair of Fiamm Freeway Blaster horns

-New windshield wipers

 

Plans for the future:

 

-Replace rear brakes

-Clean up rust

-Re-paint parts of the car

-Replace windshield

-Re-solder the clock on

-Replace clutch

-Fix oil pressure gauge

-Front wheel bearings (they're in the mail too)

 

So yeah, I will update those lists if I think of more things and if I do some more work on the car. I'll add pictures as I do things, and you can feel free to request some pictures if you want.

Looks Great! Can you look under the hood and tell me what the color code of that red is? Is that #947 Mica Ruby Pearl?

It's actually #946, Rio Red (I believe).

Yes the 947 is a little darker.

 

Nice clean Loyale man!
