1989 Subaru GL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Excellent first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The roof lining sagged very recently, but was easily fixed and was quite cheap.
The automatic transmission died, and would not get out of first, but it was converted to manual now it pulls some hardcore burnouts.
General comments?
Nice car, I want to put a ea82t into it, mmm..turbo.
Got a good shape, it would make a nice sleeper.
