Decided to redo my post.
Bought this 1998 Subaru Legacy GT in May of 2014 rough looking and with blown head gaskets, blown struts, mismatched tires, busted windshield etc.
These are pictures how it looked when I first saw it.

And here is my old wagon when I went camping:

Since then the car got a rebuilt engine, new power steering pump, new intake because the other one was cracked, new fuel pump, new rear struts, matching tires, new windshield, new headlights, new cv axles, radiator flush, new valve cover gaskets etc.
As of right now it drives decent, just a valve cover hole is stripped leaking oil plus I have a coolant leak at the back of the engine but today the best thing ever happened and I got in touch with a guy who used to be a Subaru mechanic for last 20 years who will fix her all up on Friday. I'm more excited then for Christmas. After that I'm hoping to get my hands on a replacement door and will go from there from all the other upgrades! :)
This is probably the best looking picture of this car I have right now. Never really felt motivated to take nice pictures while I was chasing down all the problems but now it looks like she will finally start coming together with the engine running right!
