    Mid 90's Chrysler product. Finished up today. It took a ton of time fixing former seat holes, building proper bases for the outside as the floor drops 1.25 inches near the door so had to level the seat bases, and rerun the wiring. Was fun to do, it just took a bit of time to get it done right. And dicking with carpet, fixing the console, some touch up paint under the dash, you know how it goes, you are doing one thing and see four more that need doing. I'll see if I can get pics and post them.

    They just have to many old Subarus in the PNW, I could have picked up two 1st gen Brats, for like $400, both ran. They just give Subarus away out there.

    They junk perfectly clean Subarus, while we try to rebuild with what little we have left in the Midwest haha.

    Its the equivalent of Arizona junkyards to the old American cars.

    That's the way I got it. Someone had just torched the coils. It was too low for me, so I put in stock springs and air lift shocks on the back, 'cuz I
    am restoring an old Caveman camp trailer to pull behind it.

    Bucket seat install on the Safari - a much needed change from the 67 T-Bird buckets we've had in the car for the past 10 years or so. It was at the point where I could not ride in the wagon for more than half an hour at a sitting.

    I also have the back seat which will fit in fine with a slight bit of work on the back of the back so it pivots properly, and also to attach the carpet and chrome strips.
