coupe help
so i'm new here 
and was referred here by a friend. this is my second 96 impreza (first was a 96L 4dr pizza delivery vehicle) i just wanted some ideas on what people would do to this thing because i've become so fickle on what i want to do with it. as of right now i'm just restoring the cosmetics. 
(previous owner was a **** that didn't know how to drive)
P.S.
how do i change my user name because when i created it i wasn't thinking about the language. i use this user name for pretty much everything. (xbx,etc etc etc)

Welcome, fellow coupe guy. As far as username, just make a new one. As far as your car goes, I guess start with addressing any rust or forming rust spots. The go find the body parts you want. Then decide, on what paint you like.
How does the car run? I figure that would be a good starting point.
Come out to the meats and hang out with us on Fridays. I'm sure youll get a lot of answers there as well. Enjoy your stay here!

thanks guys where is the next meet? to be honest i never knew there were so many subaru people out there. all my friends do bikes, hondas, miatas etc etc etc. so it's a good feeling to know there are people out there.
as far as it goes. the body work is nothing i'm working out right now. me and a buddy that does body work (awesome at it i might add) are doing that. sonic blue is what i'm going with. i'm trying to find a wing but it's been hard or way over priced so i might just get a new trunk till i can find one.
the engine however, is something that i've been fighting with because like i said the previous owner is a piece of crap that doesn't appreciate the car that it is. i'm sorry if your somewhere in these forums but it's true! i want to do a swap but i don't know much about going from 4eat to 5 speed. this is what i was truly looking for help with =] =] =]
a turbo would be cool but i think i'm going to just do simple engine stuff first.
