Meet RubySu (1979 Subaru DL)


Recommended Posts

Found this awesome little 1979 Subaru DL 1.6 EA-71 wagon on ebay and drove from Denver Colorado to Logan Utah to get her. Previous owner was sad to see the little wagon go but i told him i had good plans for her and it wasn't going to be parted out. Car was currently running but rear main seal was shot. I loaded her on a trailer and hauled her home. It has been sitting on my driveway for a couple months now and i been working on it slowly but surely. Finding parts for this car is hard but makes it fun having that extra challenge. The interior is a little rough but nothing i cant handle. The body is pretty fair considering the year. The previous owner named her RubySu so the name is staying. It even has a name tag on the front plate holder. So far i have pulled out the wngine and transmission together and will be determining how much restoring the motor will need.
