not sure if theres many parts for that now. less likely to find parts here.

But slap on some coils on those badboys, some aggressive wheels and you're set! (Meaning wheels go flush with the body and tires damn near tucked in the fender.) you have the perfect fenders for em

Awesome, my first car was my dad's hand me down 1983 Wagon GL (non-turbo) and it was a great car, took lots of abuse off roading and the occasional parking lot car jump. I'm jealous, as I would love to own another one but the wife won't stand for it, they are just too damn ugly for her

Congrats on the new subie.

Your spare tire is missing, did you take that out of the engine bay already?

That puppy is CLEAN!

The only things I would change are the wheels, rear bumper (it looks a little messed up), and judging by the trunk, maybe redo the upholstery.

Kinda reminds me of the '89 CRX that I used to bomb around in. 20+ years old and it looked like it had just rolled out of the factory. It only had about 132,000 miles on the odometer too.
