    Found some pictures of an early 70s Subaru "clam shell" wagon. GM was not the only manufacturer to make clam shells in the 70s!

    With those skinny tires, you wont get much traction with a turboed WRX engine. Smoke show anybody?:beerchug:

    And of course I'm thinking 16" wheels and some decent rubber... Domestic cars can't be the only restomods.

    I think it would look good if the gold STI wheels and a rally blue paint job. :icon_drive:
