Fuel tank swapped with no problems, rear end went on perfect, all the holes matched up....

thanx, i am at ease now. I went to dealership today, and he said that they have not a 2000 impreza for a while and that rear end on a vagon might be different....but it looked the same

I'ma go put the engine in... breed brakes, bleed clutch...bleed power steering...flush antifreeze....put a couple more cuts on my already covered in oil hands...

thanx
