1995 Legacy L wagon build

[danr]

Keeping this here to remind me to continue taking pictures and updating my own progress through my first car build. I have always loved Subarus as my first car was a Impreza brighton coupe. I didn't know what i had when i was younger, and now wish i never sold it. Being married with kids, i have bought a 95 legacy wagon to turn into the ultimate daily driver.

a little rough around the edges, but a running driving example with 193k on the clock. Picked it up for 1500 bucks. In colorado, Subaru comes with the mountain tax. a Subaru badge here increases the car value by 50%.

Looks like a good foundation for a build, should serve you well. My wagon is more comfortable and has more room for cargo than my wife's forester so we always used it for our camping trips. Keep us posted on the progress.
