Early Subarus, lets see 'em :)

[BLU]

I'm in the middle of building a stanced and spoiler less bug eye WRX (too new for this site!) and hope to have it finished early next year.

Anyway, starting to plan my next project which will be (if I can find one) an early 1980s Subaru 1600/1800 GL Wagon (estate) (or Leone as they're sometimes known by) so I'm starting my search now in the hopes I can find one for next summer

Like this one (but less battered lol!)



It got me thinking how many of you have early Subarus? Post some pics up

My friend recently picked up this 1984 Brat. Needs a lot of work but hopefully it should see the road again

I've got this one, great little truck but a tad difficult to find parts

[hardtop]

forget the brats, lets see more of the RX4 please

[BLU]

Ha I was waiting for a comment about the RX4 lol . I don't have any more pics I'm afraid

[BLU]

Hamerr06, cracking little trucks! Yeah parts are difficult to find but not impossible (for now) Do you use yours daily?

[stefan]

This was mine built it one Christmas



Have this one sitting in my yard waiting for some love, tried to sell it but no interest


if it stays and I get round to it I will put impreza turbo gear in it

[quackshot]

I have a 1 owner from new brat + hardtop load cover if anyone is interested.

@ Blu, yeah they are cracking little trucks! I do use mine daily, I work at Rolls-Royce and this is quite a sight in and amongst all the new BMW's in the car park!

I'm not using it this week though as it is currently being fettled in order to pass it's MOT.

My dad has an 1800DX estate when I was a kid, with hi/lo 4x4, loved it but I've never seen one for sale...

This lives fairly local to me, or did... Saw this a while ago but haven't been that way for ages.

Seen this 1600 Leone around my town a few times.


Would love a XT myself, '80's tastic styling and all.

@ EmDee, truly awesome car. I can't help but think Nissan Bluebird when I look at it

@ Darren, Looks very tidy Which part of Widnes is that usually lurking? I'm up that way a lot, my daughters live up there with their mum!
