I love this car. Owned vw's and saabs for years, second subaru had it for 2years. Lots of room, lots of practicality, lots of fun on dirt and snow

. So far to this I have replaced/modified to keep my sanity and purpose for it in tact, radiator with all aluminum, intake work *cough cheap, KnN filter, Tuneup crap, Grabbers then winter forces, "fixed" cats, welded on my old extra 2" borla stainless muffla', removed rear sway, poly front c.a. bushings, replaced rear trailing arm bushings, Replaced struts, Baja springs all around (lift), brakes in rear once, STi 5mt trans mount, hella 500 drive lights, sanded crap out of headlights. Probly more cant remember currently. Use all the time, haul 1 ton of wood pellets at a time on trailer.

Planning on... Paint? thinking some kinda flat paint, green and tan? like to keep it 2 tone. Want wrecked donor bajaT or something

, Want roof basket, hella fogs to replace oem's.

Any comments/suggestions/ideas welcome, keep in mind am a poor mechanic father of two right now so no sti swaps for me.

Love the stance and lights, wheels are kinda turning me off though. But that's my fav color outback ( le jealous) maybe keep the gold, sand it a touch so it becomes matte, spray od green on existing green? Or just od green and flat tan

True the wheels are off the wifes forester. Swapped my alloys with grabbers to hers I got the icky styled steels. Thinking of blasting those black so less hideous but not sure how odd would look on this car. Maybe if I find a set of vw steels would look better. I do like existing green on car and paint is at end of life. I don't mind tree scratches though so any paint on it would have to be cheap enough to not stress about.

Deleted front hella 500's, installed new Freeform driving 500's wired into high beams in fog locations cause those were holding water. Other things done over winter are forgettable at this time.

And gratuitous pic of measurement rearend to ground because I was bored and never checked before.
