My first Subaru and intro


Recommended Posts

Picked up a 95' Postal Legacy Wagon a few weeks ago in Reno. I'm a total Subaru noob coming from a Toyota

background but ever since i got into snowboarding, its expanded my interests towards them.

 

I have a lot of plans for this car still but here is how it sits as of now.

Haven't done much yet but paint the door moldings and some WRX wheels for the meantime.

Hoping to pick up some coilovers in the next few weeks. I will probably post all the updates on this car in this thread.

Just picked up a JDM bumper WITH fogs from VENUS MOTOR in Sacramento for f**kin' $150, not sure if this has already been discussed on here. Anyone in the area that needs a JDM bumper for their legacy, they have more (only round fog version left) for same price or less.

Here's a quick update. I painted the bumper which luckily came out good. Never painted body parts before.

 

Haven't taken many photos lately but here's an Instagram photo with the new bumper

I love how no one noticed the KPGC GTR! Mind if you make a thread with it and your Toyota!

I'd keep it Subaru specific since its a Subaru forum but here is a photo from last weekend.

You know, you can take it off and put it on the other way. It's just two screws...

 

I had some friends come from Japan and thought that it was cool how the button was on the wrong side since everything is so "USDM" about the car. Thought it was mechanical and couldn't be changed, thank you for the tip i will change it.

At the bottom of the shifter handle there is a little screw on each side. Take them out, spin it around, and put them back in. I've never put one on backwards. But I've had them off plenty of times. No reason it shouldn't work. It's just a tube with a rod on the inside that gets pushed down. It's symmetrical.

WOW! those cleaned up really nice.

Just one thing, you're going to want to polish those with some wax compound. I know there are products that'll help preserve them being clear.

Often after a headlight restore like that, they'll yellow again very quickly.

Picked up some Ganador BG5 mirrors off Ebay for pretty cheap. Wired them up and the motors work. Can finally see properly out of the mirrors. They are black with sparkly red glitter (weird, low rider style) but will probably paint later.
