well I have made the move now to full time 4x4
purchased a Subaru liberty wagon 1991 4x4

Have gutted the car for mods

Due to having a ej20t front cut with manual type auto ( was to go in VW ) made the move to strip the wagon down & fit the turbo motor to the liberty .

I have made a 3" lift kit for the body
fitting 15 " wheels with some all round tyre
fitted a Hydratrak LSD diff to the rear
made changes to the control arms
made a ally skid plate to the under side of the motor bay protecting the sump & auto pan .
making a spare wheel / jerry can holder for the rear .
and a few more to list

I post some photos of the beast in action !

Great stuff - having owned a 1991 liberty station wagon with full time 4WD and an EJ20 turbo (manual though) I can say you will have an absolute crapload of fun with this. Enjoy !

Is yours silver like mine was ?
