Did somebody say conversion?

 

sweet. GL hatches rule

 

i got 5 on it!

 

anyone know if my tarmac 1's will fit on that?

 

Wait til my Gen 1 is up and running and looks decent enough for photos

 

its got a four lug bolt pattern (4x140?)

 

someone on iclub should buy that lil car as a project, definitely. i bet honda rims will fit it

 

Yup, 4x140. Here is the web page with all the wheels that fit the 4x140:

Personally im trying to find a set of these for my '78: http://www.ultimatesubaru.net/80s/wh...5-8spoke-2.jpg

I already got some of these with rather new tires for mega cheap ($120) at pick and pull: http://www.ultimatesubaru.net/80s/wh...dsnowflake.jpg

 

Dude, he'll totally trade the car for a snake!

 

I must have enjoyed the 1980's way too much, cause those old school rims look pretty sweet to me. The old mag wheels look really good on old cars especially when they're tiny

 

Dude, an '88 is the newer more square style isn't it? I had an '88 RX and it was not like the pic ('80-'84 model). I used to wrench on these when I was a kid. I learned to drive in an '82 4X4 GL 5spd.. Hot car, passing light and all.

The picture posted is definitely not an '88. The car in the ad has an EA82, the one posted has an EA81. Conversions for those cars aren't easy (I also had an '88 RX, so trust me, I've looked into it), and not cheap. They do make very, very reliable daily drivers and really, really fun beaters though.

Unfortunately it's really hard to find aftermarket wheels for the 4x140 bolt pattern. Only Subaru and Pugeot used that bolt pattern, so about the only wheels you can use are old Pug wheels or these certain Enkeis that are extremely difficult to find. The other option is to swap over the suspension from a late 80's XT6, but the parts are a PITA to get and it's expensive.

Anyway, long story short, GLs are awesome, reliable little cars, but not the best option if you're looking for an easy project. However, with enough money, you can do anything.
