This is my 1997 Postal wagon. I bought the rolling chassis no engine or transmission for 400 bucks at the beginning of the summer 2014. I had pics of getting it back together with the JDM EJ20e swap and the 5spd swap but lost most of them due to accidental phone formatting.

So heres what I have done so far:

5mt swap
JDM EJ20e swap
Outback heated leather seats in front
Outback leather rear seat
Legacy GT leather door panels
Random GT wood trim
GT premium cd/cassette player with GT speakers
GT hood
6000k HID

Awesome! That's a great wagon and build you have. I'm jealous that you live in Bend. I spent a year there and it's one of my favorite places in the world. Enjoy it!

I learned the hard way, you'll need the whole bumper beam to deal with that larger grille cutout.
