Its mine. It works so much better in the legacy than it ever did in a WRX, its lighter believe it or not!! It is a full driveline swap from nose to tail. The only thing that is originally from the Lego is the driveshaft and and the e brake cables. Literally everything else is from the 02 WRX wagon donor. All of the splicing was done at the lights, doors, wiper motors, etc.... I still have to make some door panels work up front yet. The original legacy ones do not fit with the dash. I started to mock up some 00-04 lego ones and it looks like with reworking the door guts I can make them work.

That is awesome. You did some excellent work!
I like the writeup here on NASIOC too:

Thanks! I am a little annoyed right now, just got pulled over by a power hungry Bethlehem PA cop for window tint...... he didn't like my attitude.

i'm also a n00b to this forum.

I live in the Poconos but travel frequently to the lehigh valley. I went to school in Bethlehem and my son was born in Allentown

nice job on the swap!

Sucks about the cop giving you a hard time. I've seen Bethlehem cops around quite a bit on 512. I never had any run-ins with one, but they look like douche nozzles

That is a very clean swap, I'm loving the dash conversion and rack delete. Turbo'ed Legacy wagons are a special breed of fun. Welcome to the club, stick around and post often.
