  1. Good point. My goal is to not cut up any wiring. Especially because the entire engine harness was just replaced like 20k miles ago.
  2. Sadly the end of the road has come for my 2005 Legacy GT wagon. It has rusted to the point where it is completely unsafe. Before I scrap the shell I want to pull the drivetrain. Possibly to sell or possibly to stash for a future FFR 818 project. I am semi-familiar with the normal method of pulling the engine out the top or dropping the transmission as one would do for a clutch replacement or engine rebuild but this time I need the simplest method to get everything out without having to plan for eventually putting it back together. The fewer bolts that have to come out the better (very rusty - lots of hardware is going to break or get stuck). Ideally if I could pull the engine, trans, turbo, downpipe, TMIC, everything as one unit that would be terrific. What doesn't come out is getting scrapped so I'm looking for the "junkyard hack" approach. Taking a sawzall or grinder to the core support, subframe, anything else is not out of the question. Can everything come out the top as one piece? Or if I hack up the core support and/or bumper can they come out the front? Would I be better off undoing the strut tophats and subframe and dropping everything out the bottom? Its a sad, unceremonious ending to a great car but the time has come...
