Hello, this is my first post, although I have been registered for a while.

I have a '98 LGT with a hybrid engine swap. I am on my 6th Subaru, I have had 2 Loyales, a '99 RS, a '99 LGT, now I have the '98LGT-T, and my wife has an '02 WRX Wagon.

I have been around on NASIOC for a while, but want to come over here as well.

Here is the current LGT:
