    New to subarus, scored a project for sure

    So i bought a pair of 90s legacys the bluegreen one is a 94 with auto trans, the red one has the front corner roached by previos owner so would make a good parts car its a 91 and manual trans.
    Both cars have the ej22 in them, and im going to try to fix up the not wrecked car. Any ideas as to things i should keep an eye for like the roof rack on the red one swapping over? Etc.

    Are they both AWD/FWD or one of each? Quite the swap if going from one to another- As for the rack, you might need to make a template to transfer it over. I would head over to bbslegacycentral.com the vest place for 1st gen leggy owners enjoy your "BJ"

    Been slowly stripping the red car down, almost done pulling everything off it but have made a couple changes to the good car as well.Name: 0513221701_HDR.jpg Views: 621 Size: 200.8 KB

    Thinking the fozzy rear wiper even with trimming doesnt sit how i want so i need to go ahead and order the honda one that clears properly. Got a hatch cover from someone that matches the car pretty well, upgradsd to some wrx 16s and also have a set of outback wheels with good tires on them once i get everything back together and the car is ready to drive around.Name: 0508222221.jpg Views: 572 Size: 110.6 KB

    Looks like progress to me I have a 97 wagon and also found a rear hatch cover (thanks Craigslist). It's cool how you have section's cutout for the rear speakers!

    Does the BJ run or turn over at all? How about some pics under the hood?

    Also what's up with the CV shafts in the trunk, are those from the 91?

    It does not run yet unfortunately, the cvs in the trunk are from the automatic trans that was in the back seat when i got the car. As far as i know the speaker cutouts are factory, both cars had rear speakers in the same spot right behind the shock tower.
