Legacy II 2.2i, (BD) sedan, 1997

If you wanted to keep the sedan you could replace the rear suspension on that corner. Then it’ll just be cosmetic from there.

True- anything is reparable- but I need a good useable car, not a project!

I say take the hit and move on, I learned a lot with the sedan, but that wagon is calling now.
I will be dismantling, storing, swapping and selling whatever can be salvaged. 
That ‘91 will have a longer life without doubt.

This is likely the last entry for this car.

I finally got around to extracting it from my neighbour’s place. Jacked it up and took the broken wheels off.

The RH rear lower arms were both bent, the rearmost at 20degrees! I straightened it by jacking it up against the weight of the car. Everything else looks good, so  basically the body and bent suspension arms absorbed the impact. 

Rear swaybar also bent with a snapped drop link, so that had to be removed too. With two spare wheels on there I drove her back home up our track- driving it one wouldn’t know it has suffered such damage, though I wouldnt risk taking it out on the public roads.

So now I just have to wait two weeks until I go to Barcelona to pick up the 1992 Touring Wagon, meanwhile removing those lovely parts from the poor sedan and planning the modifications to the Wagon.

And then to the scrapyard with the sedan :sob:
