Yo Spastik, heres my page from rs25. come check me at the shop sometime mang...

"Hoopty Dupty" is a 1995 Impreza wagon with an AWD auto trans and 1.8ltr ej18 engine.
This car was suppose to be temporary transportation for me while I was having my 99 legacy GT fixed. My only intentions for this car were to get it running, then sell it off for someone else. Thats when I got pulled in. I ended up selling the leggy and fixing up the wagon.

Gave her a bath, threw on the legacy wheels and tires that I had so the trans wouldn't take a shit on me. It may have been a little late for that tho but it still looks a lot better. Wash and a quick "detail"

I've been riding like this, "wagon coupe steez," and love it. F.Y.I. an engine, FMIC and pipes and a engine stand and a radiator will all fit comfortably in the "XXL Boot"

holy shit, that was a pain in the ass.
Got the rear H6 conversion is done today with the help of my good bud Kev. It took over a day in my back yard, under the sun with the temp well over 90. one sign on the way to harbor freight said it was 99 i think. We broke tools which made the going tough but in the end, shes done. and as an added bonus my new lat links have the sway bar mounts welded on them so now my wag can run a rear sway!!!!

since most of the carpet was pulled up anyway, I decided to rip it all out and take it to the car wash for a high pressure soap and rinse. it is now on my roof, drying in the sun

[MattCHEW]

[spastik]

Dude this thing is coming along great! i didnt know you had this much into it. ill have to stop by the shop and catch up. there are 2 guys on here that have fender rollers, when you need to pull them puppies out. a little lowering would put them wheels in to fit with the fenders well, but i know this is your snowboarding whip as well.

:up:

[BRINGTHERUCKUS]

i think ride height is great, you need to leave some room on a subie haha. looks good man

[CRIMES]

go jump it on those OZ's

[Jserman]

man if it wasn't an auto i would prob pick this think up from you when you where done....

[makeitFit]

Shit this car came along way. Needs to be one color though, I hate two-tone cars. But don't get me wrong it still looks really good.

[StanceSlyder]

dope project, dirve it till it blows then put a ej22 (i think thats the model) in it

[Money]

Fucking LOVE it.

I needs me a wagon...

[Magnetrax]

yea, I think it will be staying auto for awhile, but the turbo build will be focus of my attention for the summer, then paint/body work (yes all one color, even tho i love two tone). I got my huge top wing in today, that thing is gona look sick.

Yo Spaztik, whos got the roller, I got a b-ball bat, but cant pull fenders with that so, if you got the hook up, hook it up!

[SRLNCLT]

Me likey 1st gen Imprezas. Looks great!! Only thing I'm not liking is the blacked out corners. To me, it just doesn't flow with the car.
