Hey everyone,
about 2 months ago I got my first car, a 5 speed '99 Subaru Outback!

Originally I wanted a BH, but this BG seemed too good to turn down.
Bought it with 103,000 miles, body was generally really clean, no sign of HG issues, pretty much full maintenance records, and what we thought to be a decent price.
Only issue was a leaky power steering reservoir but I've fixed it now.

Onto the pictures!

So far the only thing I've really done to it is clearing the headlights with some rubbing compound, changed the fluids, and fixed the power steering reservoir.

Plans for the future:
Coilovers, Wheels, Cleared corners, Wing (the OEM BG one), Front lip, Side skirts, New fogs (not sure on Hella 500s or PIAA), Maybe JDM BG tails, Exhaust, Speakers, and Maybe some new seats. I'm not sure how much of that will even be done, but I'll make sure to start a build thread if i do!
Here are some of my edits for what I'm imagining. I don't want to be completely dumped, but I want to be a lot lower, and I couldn't find a good picture of 5 lug Regamasters.

Nice outback. Hard to find one down my way in a manual, and no rust is a definite plus lol.

Also just my opinion but seeing the difference just jdm tails on the wagons make that would be at the top of my list.

all for a lowered outback too. also curious on what front lip you have in mind. outback bumpers are rather unique.

It looks a lot like mine, but much cleaner (I hate salted roads and parking lots). Looks good, you should have a great time with it.
