New Purchase! 1992 Subaru Liberty Rs Wagon Manual

[eightsixboy]

I had an RS liberty sedan for awhile, was pretty modded, 150awkw or there abouts, was a good car, except the gearbox issues .

With the clutch don't get a HD, will destroy the box pretty quickly.

Mine somehow broke the 1st/2nd selector fork in normal driving, was rebuilt a few years before I bought it and when I stripped it down it was due for another rebuild, the 5 speeds don't take well to hard driving.

Hey Paul,

thanks for the info mate...

Will definitely take it easy in the beginning!!

How many KM's had the engine done?

[eightsixboy]

Engine had done over 250k but it had the wrx heads fitted at around 120k or so, was a common issue with the rs heads to gunk up, so Subaru would replace heads under warranty with wrx ones, pretty sure they did crank bearings and pistons as well, was a common thing to get done.

Gents,

Looks like I've found GEN 2 liberty front leather seats for it...

Slowly coming together, haha.

Can someone please help me with this...

I'm considering rusting out the roof...

Can someone please photoshop my image with a rusted roof??

Please don't. It is such a cool car you have there, there are plenty of guys with VN-VS Commodores rusting their rooves and bonnets, looks terrible IMHO. Why don't you a go at spraying it yourself. I reckon the pillars and roof done in a gloss black would look awesome, have a go with rattlecans - can't look worse than rusting it and besides which you can always try rusting it afterwards if you don't like the gloss black.

That would look shit, it to nice and to rare to ruin it like that

Plastidip. Cheap, looks good and removable.

na don't rust the roof, its not a rat rod! Just save up for a bit and respray the roof, shouldn't cost too much.

Good purchase. I've had two of these. They are fun, cheap, reliable daily drivers.

For replacing the steering wheel, seats and gear knob, if you cant find original stuff, use early wrx parts. You will be surprised how many gc8 wrx parts will bolt straight in from suspension, brakes, entire drive line, seats etc.

Heres a pic of my old one for some inspiration.

Nice car buddy, Can I change the steering wheel by myself? I've got the steering wheel and gear knob.

Just need to get the seats.
