    One of the best sleepers I have ever seen. The brakes give it away a little. Don't ever change the paint job.

    Things I missed:

    TiAl 44mm wastegate
    Legacy SS radiator
    Trunk mounted battery
    Blood, sweat, and a few tears(as of late)
    profit


    Thanks for the support gang. This is about four years of research, saving, buying, and building. And its not done, as if it will ever be :roll:

    And yes the brakes to draw some attention, but not as much as being multicolored w/ hoodpins. I had the brakes and suspension for a year before and never drew looks. oh well

    Dude that's awesome, you've inspired me to work on my Legacy. Very awesome work, it's not the prettiest thing in the world but that makes it cooler in my book :D

    Nice! This makes me want to get creative with our rusty 1990 Legacy L (which runs great, BTW).

    Mine ran great at 190K, and the odometer is still stuck at that, haha. EJ22E's are about as bulletproof as they come. A speedo would be nice...


    I may rattle-can the silver parts soon, cause the attention of the multicoloredness with hoodpins is really getting on my nerves. We'll see. I have a couple spray guns and a decent ait compressor sitting here, so why the hell not.
