Front seats will drop straight in, possibly rears too, carpets & console will probably fit.

Lift blocks & full suspension will drop straight in as they are 99.9% the same in the engine bay & underneath so sway bars etc also go in.

Are the rear trailing arm mounts available? I call dibs if they are! Payment will be in cash, beer or other means to be discussed.

No dramas, thanks anyway!!

I see we're almost neighbors, I'm in Edgewater but do most (all) of my mechanical work in Greenwood at my Dads place! If you see a stupidly tall hail customized Impreza give me a honk and wave!!!

Good to meet you today Mike

and glad to see you sorted out this dilema or I'd have to rely on KPM

haha

Nice to see you're in a Subaru wagon and can't wait for you to come out on a 4WD run someday.

Yes nice to meet you as well Paul, I hope you manage to be able to put all those parts together especially threading those cables back in in for the tailgate! and thanks for the education session about my cars and what does what, how and why.

No worries bud.. I don't know if I really helped that much.. I probably taught you all the wrong was to undo those exhaust bolts

That he does

Guys dont waste your time on an early 2.5 I fixed mine twice and the third time sold it as is. If you wanted to fix it get a later model engine

First was low k import motor $1600 plus parts n labour, lasted six mths, second repaired original engine $1800+ lasted three mths motor ran perfect both times then went from warm to very hot, pushed all the water out never got any indication of a fault till it was too late
