Also, I can use several of the parts from the Golf for other projects. Most notably, the "newish" $300 set of sport coilovers are almost a direct swap for the Festiva, basically the most expensive part on the whole car.

The stainless hubcaps and wheels will fit after I swap to 4x100 hubs, as well, but they probably will be ignored in favor of alloyed 15 or 16" wheels.

The Subaru is definitely a "fixer upper", needing a bunch of updating work before it can be safely driven on the street, but rust repair is minimal, and should be a matter of gluing a few panels in place with body bond.

While fixing it, "performance" upgrades such as WRX suspension, solid mounts, and brake upgrades will likely be installed, depending on swap price versus parts price to rebuild/replace what's already there.
