Keep her stock! Looks great bro. I got one of those for changing a starter for a dude once. Fun little Kei cars! 4WD IS A BONUS! A rack for some snowboards is all it needs....
Yeah buddy ! Congrats🎉 this shares a lot with my 1991 Sambar. Things at your local Orileys auto parts place like Air and Oil filters fit both our rides. A 2015 WRX rear shifter bushing should work too on the cable. I found that switching my Transmission fluid to the harder to find Redline or Motul 75W 80 clears up a lot of the synchro slop. Thanks for taking the initiative to further help the education system😂
Hey Buck, great find! I would add Volk bronze TE37s first, then tackle the body work. Perhaps some houndstooth pattern Recaros (like the old school Golf VW's). Keep it close to stock as possible, but improve where necessary.
The first brand new car I bought was a 1991 Justy in Nassau Turquoise. That car got me all over this country numerous times. So excited about this build.
Original rally with fender flairs gray with white rally rims new school with old classic touch. What ever you do its going to look amazing. Nice cage 2 seater
You can buy adapters for a Weber 32/36 DGEV carburetor to fit on these. Also since its a 4x100 lug pattern a Honda Civic vx wheel looks really nice and it keeps it 13".
I Love the new proyect! looks that you have some room for an Sti engine right there.. could be the nicest and fastest Sleeper in town maybe? Stocked to see what´s coming up!
Coil overs would be awesome! I also like the idea of oem+. It would also be fun to see someone rebuild the 1.2L 3 cylinder Justy motor and convert to an ecu and intake/injectors, maybe even a tiny little turbo. 4wd and ground clearance is also super rad, so no matter what you do, I'm sure it will be awesome!
Bucky, with a car like this, OEM+ isn't enough. You need to go crazy. Convert to a RWD bias with a 2015+ WRX 6-speed tranny swap, attached to an EZ36 from a Tribeca. (Good luck finding radiator space!) Give the interior some love with some 80s Recaro seats (plaid, of course) and custom door cards. You see those integrated wheel arches? Maybe you should cut right at that body line to fit larger wheels and tires. Finish it off with a fresh white paint job and the "Jazz" design from the side of the 90s water cups.
Love this! This is the first video of yours I’ve watched on YT. Watched a ton of VHS skate videos of you when I was a kid. Now as a middle aged Subaru owner, I find you have this content. Subscribed. I’m in.
The correct answer is you can never ever ever have too many Subaru's. I had a 1994 Justy for many years as a daily, I LOVED that thing. And miss the crap out of it. And yeah you have to double clutch those Justy's because the synchros are basically non existent :P :D
This was like an episode of @TheDetailGeek . I wouldn't go race-inspired on this one, since it will never be a performance car, unless you do an engine swap and pretty much build a new car on that chassis. Lean into what it was designed to be. I'd go for a all-road capable cute little daily driver, inspired by the little "postie" motorcycles people use in rural parts of Europe and Australia. Some smallish rally wheels and tires (just wide enough to be flush), refresh the oem suspension and motor bits, maybe a CAI and exhaust just for fun, and a modest window tint. Party inside with reupholstered seats, maybe in a sealskin or other water-resistant material so you can hose it out after having the dogs in the car, and an aftermarket steering wheel (old-skool Momo?). Definitely a nice paint job, but not "show car nice" because this car is meant to be used without too much fuss. I'm hoping to see this in its final form at the 2025 Subiefests!
It's a Justy. That puts you at 11.5? You're fine, so long as the wife agrees. 😁 Nice job on the interior. When you started, it looked like you needed some gasoline and a match.
Love it man....was that chalino sanches on the radio and a cd of los bukes those are some mexican classics, suspension upgrades would be cool to see on the justy
Congratulations on your school of Subarus, Bucky... Pretty soon, you'll be the one opening up a Subaru Museum lol On a side note, glad you were able to capture that beautiful example of an Acura ZDX @ 3:20
I'm amazed at how good that engine bay came out Bucky!! Is this the generation of Justy that shares a platform with Suzuki Swift ?? Swift GTi engine swap ??
As long as you have the space, have as many as you can get. If I could, I'd have a shipping container with shelves in it with spare parts. I'd buy wrecked old cars and cut body panels out and have those as spares. I mean, it's getting harder and harder to get body parts for a GC.
We need to figure out a way to grow this channel, guys. So great! Definitely deserves more attention!!!
OEM+! New paint and wheels and an engine tune up!!!
Possibly the plan for now
Flares, wheels, and coilovers all sound perfect. A rally-esque build would look wicked.
fix all the maintenance issues/leaks/dents/scratches, refurbish it, leave it original & store it cuz that's a keeper!❤
it at least needs some (period correct) wider wheels. I'm sure Konig has a wheel for that
There's never too many Subarus! You, Sir, are a LEGEND! Definitely the build I'm most excited about 😎 Buck yeah!
Thanks and looking forward to where this one takes me for sure.
I love that there’s a Chalino Sanchez CD/cassette haha, great taste in music the previous owner had.

My pleasure
Flares, tires, turbo, engine, more powa, baby!!!!!
We mobbed a Justy in HS (circa 88-89)places that other people didn't want to take their 4x4 ⚡️💥So many memories, thanks for refreshing them.
That car cleaned up really good man! And one can never have enough Subarus especially the random cool ones!
Hey Buck, great find! I would add Volk bronze TE37s first, then tackle the body work. Perhaps some houndstooth pattern Recaros (like the old school Golf VW's). Keep it close to stock as possible, but improve where necessary.
Sounds like a solid plan.
Rally build!
Nice find. Engine and Trans swaps 👏👏🫶🤙
That was fun to watch! Excited for the build.
Glad you enjoyed it, I'm excited to get after it
I can't wait to see how this turns out. I love seeing builds on little nuggets like these.
Very nice. (: it does need maintenance though, take us on that journey too!
For sure!
Sick! You should rally that.
Tiny two door 4wD, what a little beast! Flares, spoiler, body kit with some dynamic colors.
👊🏼😉👍🏼
The first brand new car I bought was a 1991 Justy in Nassau Turquoise. That car got me all over this country numerous times. So excited about this build.
That’s awesome!
Niiice!
ND Miata organ donor + Justy shell = AE86+
I was so hoping it would be a Justy and I'm glad it is.
Oem ++ for sure !!!
This needs to get the Junior Huckster treatment, or Juxster, if you will. Full STi swap with huge flares and all the other goodies.
Original rally with fender flairs gray with white rally rims new school with old classic touch. What ever you do its going to look amazing. Nice cage 2 seater
RAHHHHH JUSTY YEAH!!!! new sub incoming! Love my justy a shit ton and you'll love this one too!
As a wise man once said..... "Never have a odd number of Subaru's" 🤪 Great video as always Buck 👑❤️🛹🚗
Uh oh! I have 3. Guess I need to buy that SVX.
I did actually sell my XT donor car so I’m safe at 10 right now.
@@BuckyLasekOfficialwe're gonna need a list - math ain't mathin!
I agree with most of the ideas for it, especially OEM+, but to add a curve ball: mini overlander.
I’m not mad at the idea.
OEM+ for sure!
Great pickup!
Thanks! We'll see how it goes.
You can buy adapters for a Weber 32/36 DGEV carburetor to fit on these. Also since its a 4x100 lug pattern a Honda Civic vx wheel looks really nice and it keeps it 13".
I like where your head is at!
Ej20 turbo swap, hoodscoop, all white like the bucket, or the same color it is now. Body kit. Rims
Sick little justy always had a little place in my heart for them. BC rally coil overs and some white rally wheels would be sick!
suspension and reliability addressing is in order, y'all are precious cargo so keep it rowdy but safe
You're speaking my language!
its so cool,
That’s “just” cool, you’re “justified” for sure. You’ll do it “justice”, you’re a rad body work guy, you’ll get it “just” right.
👊🏼🤣
Build the whole thing bro in n out .
All of it, Steels, Weber, Exhaust, Coilovers
That engine block was 100% painted when it was apart. I'm a new sub to this channel 👍
Yeah it was rebuilt in 2019
Mannn super jealous, just on the clean alone 😂. I saw that dirty bay, but also signs of zinc coated hardware. Clutch scoop up!
Yeah, no rust!
You gotta make this thing a baby Family Huckster and ride this thing with Travis! Active aero and all!!!
I’m not Vermont SportsCar 🤣
Cut the top off and make it a convertible, 'Ramp Locals' style 😁👌
That's an awesome little nugget!
I Love the new proyect! looks that you have some room for an Sti engine right there.. could be the nicest and fastest Sleeper in town maybe? Stocked to see what´s coming up!
Damn. Brought it back to life.
N+1 is the formula. N being your current number of Subarus.
You should 100% Safari it! Like with a tiny roof tent too. Lol.
Dude there’s one of those parked by my house I always thought would be cool to lift and STI swap. Turn it into a little mountain snowboard ripper 🤘🤘🤘
Absolutely, have to help this young man and his education. I had 5 at my place at one time😊.
Roll Cage and full Hard Top convertable.
What a great transformation!
Hard to know what can you do from here...
Maybe.. 16" wheels, flared, with coilovers... with an ej swap (the NA version).
💪🏼😉
Wow the engine and engine bay turned out really good. wheels and tires and lower it.
That justy needs a Nardi 22B steering wheel ! ❤
Sell me one!
Such a sick pick up... can't wait to see it complete! That fart stain on the seat though 😂
Whole interior smells like spilled burnt oil.
That’s the only radio station you need living in California 😂 💯
🫶🏽
This is my first time seeing one of these… I’m excited to see what’s in store for this one!
I’m gathering parts and ideas
Coil overs would be awesome! I also like the idea of oem+. It would also be fun to see someone rebuild the 1.2L 3 cylinder Justy motor and convert to an ecu and intake/injectors, maybe even a tiny little turbo. 4wd and ground clearance is also super rad, so no matter what you do, I'm sure it will be awesome!

Are you available, you’re hired!
a subaru justy is a good investment
Love this! This is the first video of yours I’ve watched on YT. Watched a ton of VHS skate videos of you when I was a kid. Now as a middle aged Subaru owner, I find you have this content. Subscribed. I’m in.
Welcome a-board!
I've always wanted one of these!! Congrats!
Bucky be in the tortoise 🐢 house next. Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol
Master tune up.
That was nasty. lol This is going to be a cool project,Buck!
Stoked to get after it for sure.
this is rad bucky! what a cool older subaru. stoked to see you put your touch on it!!!

That things is dope.
Buck yeah! Sick shirt
Can't wait to see what you do to it! I know that whatever you choose, it's gonna be badass!

You’ve thought this through, hope to see you at Subiefest 2025
OEM+!
Nice pickup! I’d say start with the maintenance for sure then maybe lower it
A steam clean of the seats, some PDR and a paint correction and that would come up bloody well.
It needs more for sure
So sick!
No such thing as too many Subies! That thing is adorable.
It's a Justy. That puts you at 11.5? You're fine, so long as the wife agrees. 😁
Nice job on the interior. When you started, it looked like you needed some gasoline and a match.
Justa match would have done it 🤣
Get it running how you want first. Oh and stockpile bits and pieces needed.
Yes def interested in build of this great little ripper ,,id say rally car build fer sure
Miss my 87 hatchback I had ... it was cool. Next you got to find a hatchback back in those Era.. you almost got a Subaru museum 😂😂😂😂😂😂
OEM+ !!! That thing is so cool 😅 Also… don’t throw that Los Bukis CD away. Listen to it lol Mexican legends
WRC Taac style build. 80s vibes. Get some suspension and wheels on that beast
Love it man....was that chalino sanches on the radio and a cd of los bukes those are some mexican classics, suspension upgrades would be cool to see on the justy
👊🏼😎👍🏼
I can see you turn that little car into a cool toy.
I mean, how could your wife say no? You're just trying to help the younger generation! Haha! You're so charitable!
Right?!
Man Bucky that was a good find, but as far as the next step all of the above sounds great. Flare and some rubber sounds good though
Filming the interior like an old 411 video 📹
Congratulations on your school of Subarus, Bucky... Pretty soon, you'll be the one opening up a Subaru Museum lol
On a side note, glad you were able to capture that beautiful example of an Acura ZDX @ 3:20
A perfect RadWood car
Phase one will be for sure
Looks good can’t wait to see what you do to this one. What ever happen to the forester
Trying to get a teenager to help me is like pulling teeth on a weekend.
I just saw one of these recently. I think I was in a wrecking yard in the Midwest.
Sweet!
I'm amazed at how good that engine bay came out Bucky!! Is this the generation of Justy that shares a platform with Suzuki Swift ?? Swift GTi engine swap ??
I believe so
Well my wife said it would look good with rivet arches, stretch tires and hell's camber.
In your driveway not mine…🤣
Hoho! Deal!
Full rally spec!
U can come help me build my Subaru Lol but that’s definitely a good reason :) flat six twin turbo justy lol
Check the gas and fill up the oil (bumper sticker opportunity) .. get some coils, and wheels.. all said mods would be justyFIED
now we got justys! i got a 93 im working on!
That would make a awesome skate trip car. 5 people deep just like in high-school
As long as you have the space, have as many as you can get. If I could, I'd have a shipping container with shelves in it with spare parts. I'd buy wrecked old cars and cut body panels out and have those as spares. I mean, it's getting harder and harder to get body parts for a GC.
That’s seriously a great idea but I’d probably squeeze a few more cars in mine. 🤣
Wheres the Carbon GC you trailered home?
That’s sitting in a field next to my WRC Championship
