Curiosity is Killing me


Recommended Posts

So I have an 89 GL hatch. I have a few plans for it as far as restoring interior and performance. I want to give it a nice paint job too. All things will come with time, but I have also been considering the possibility of converting the steering and suspension components from a WRX. I have looked at many pictures, and obviously its going to take some fabbing and a lot of work, but I was just curious if it would even work? Do you guys think it would take a whole lot of chopping to fit things like struts and steering knuckles? The parts all look very similar and I really want to try it!   :drunk:

By the term 'hatch' we can assume an ea81 as they continued production to 89 in the USA. Otherwise the term '3-door' refers to an EA82 GL coupe.

 

My advice is relative to EA81 hatch.

 

Otherwise, if we are discussing a GL Coupe, the xt6 5 lug parts and a custom driveshaft would accommodate a WRX drivetrain. You will want a front crossmember from a GL turbo wagon, sedan, or RX coupe
