sandsz Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Hello! Looking at a 2001 Subaru Legacy L, 4-door Sedan with front-end damage. Someone slashed the guy's rear tire and he didn't know so he jumped a curb with he passenger wheel and hit a tree. Surprisingly nothing is leaking. I have a few photos and will see the car in person Sunday, but to prep I figured it would be worth a shot to see what the Subaru community thinks. For the front, I'm thinking bumper support, upper and lower radiator support, hood, grille and ps/alt belt. For the passenger's side wheel, without being in person, I would assume that the lower control arm, possibly the frame mount and sway bar link got bent/broke. What do you guys think?

sandsz Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 I guess not a big reaction, ha ha. BTW I bought it and fixed it. I cut off bumper re-enforcement. Bent radiator support out. Welded on new bumper re-enforcement. Welded cracks on radiator support. Installed AC condenser, Radiator and Radiator Fans from a '98. Made all mounts because they were a little different. Rewired fans they were 3-wire not 2-wire. Replaced bent AC compressor pulley bracket. Installed lower control arm from a '98. Replaced Hood Replaced Grill. Replaced all four struts with new from sensen. Reused springs. Replaced catalytic converters and pipe as a Unit. Replaced upstream and downstream O2 sensors. Replaced passenger side fender well as it was ripped off underneath. Replaced motor oil and filter. Replaced tranny oil and filter. (was original filter, jesus!) Replace plugs. Found some nifty magnesium 17" Crager rims with 205/50/17" tires. Rims weighted like 12lbs, it was amazing. Runs great, Everything works. Should be a sound car for many years from now. Things to do : Sand and paint hood. Most likely whole car... why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandsz Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 BTW I did everything myself. I can make anything fit in anything and have done numerous motor swaps, suspension swaps, etc I've owned a few old XTs and liked them but nothing this new. I love the AWD set up! I'm thinking of using the rear end from a PAP car for a go kart, its so easy and cute! If anyone has any questions I'm more than willing to help, it took me about a week or so to finish because of work and waiting on parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
