TheSubaruJunkie Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 :D :D :D :D Brings back memories of my 1st Subaru. But of course, in ALOT better condition: I pick it up a week from Saturday. The only problem is I dont have anywhere to park it... From what i've heard, it needs a radiator and a CV Joint. Moosens, you know we'll be in touch. Think you can scrounge up a couple working CV's? and/or a Radiator?? There are alot more pix here: http://usmb.net/gallery/albuo14 What do you guys think? -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XSNRG Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 Bummer. I just threw a '79 away. I didn't think I'd need any running gear, all I saved was the grille and the woodgrain dash. I'll see if the guy still has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soobme Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! I love gen 1 wagons and Brats:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted November 8, 2003 Author Share Posted November 8, 2003 Jeremy, if you are serious I might need to take you up on that offer. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subieman Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 Yeah I'm sure it will be ok. I'll have to talk to my woman first. But if it's just for a short time I think she will go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted November 8, 2003 Author Share Posted November 8, 2003 short time? Hrm, not sure. Gotta find another place to park myself, and hopefully that place has room for 3 sube's Possibly 4. The car will most likely stay in Mendocino for a while until I do locate a place for it, but im still going up there Saturday to get it so I can drive it to my friends. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregonboy1 Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 Nice car! That's exactly what I have been looking for. I just bought an immaculate 84 GL wagon 4x4, but there's just something about those Gen 1 wagons that looks so cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 Wow looks very similar to Russ' beer wagon #3 just a slightly different color.... seats look in REALLY good shape for the age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogsubie Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 I just saw one of those (same color too) on the side of the road today with a DOT sticker on it. Not in near as good condition as that one. About a year ago there was a 78/79 wagon at my local u-pull-it. I pulled a push bar just like that one off it. It had the most immaculate black interior I'd ever seen for a junkyard car. Unfortunately they crushed it shortly after. btw...Nice score!

NV Zeno Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 There's usually at least a couple of gen 1's in each of the two NV Pick-N-Pulls here. That car looks to be in better shape than my '83! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted November 9, 2003 Author Share Posted November 9, 2003 Dave, what are you doing next saturday?? Care to go for a ride to Mendo with me? -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NV Zeno Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 We'll be in touch..sounds like fun, but a loooong day. *edit*: You're off work on a Saturday?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted November 9, 2003 Author Share Posted November 9, 2003 Yeah, i traded my wednesday off for a saturday just to goto Mendo. Dave said i can keep the car up there until i find a place here to store it. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NV Zeno Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 And a radiator...:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted November 9, 2003 Author Share Posted November 9, 2003 Well, i was thinking of using a EA81 radiator to get it to sac. Also breaking the CV Joint's in the front and using 4WD to drive the wagon back using the rear wheels. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subieman Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Brian if you need to you can store the car at my place. I got the ok from my girlfriend. I'm sure you can leave it here as long as you need. Just buy a tarp or something to cover it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBARU3 Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Nice car! I'm so glad to see people starting to take a renewed interest in Gen 1s. I was beginning to think Paul and I were all that was left! Let me know if I can help with any parts. http://m2.aol.com/subaru3 Todd 79 DL wagon 78 DL wagon 79 GF 80 BRAT 95 Impreza AWD 95 Impreza coupe 91 Legacy Lsi 76 VESPA Ciao 77 VESPA Ciao 74 VESPA Ciao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted November 9, 2003 Author Share Posted November 9, 2003 Todd. My 1st Subaru (also my 1st car) was a '79 GL. I've always loved the Gen1 sube's, but could never find one in good condition. This has to be the best looking Gen1 ive seen to date, except for some of Moosen's collection. Cant wait to drive it. I'll definatly need some parts. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WagonsOnly Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Very nice, nicer than my '75. Why does everything out here have to rust? =( Congratulations and good luck with the restoration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biffanyus Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 NICE WAGON!!!!!!!!! I have to agree with most of you guys here. I really like my 82 Brat but I LOVE my 80 Brat more. Its just that more vintage look of the gen1s with their round headlights and stuff. I guess Ive always like them better because my very first car was a 79 Brat when I was in highschool many, many moons ago.:brolleye: Hey Brian you can keep it here in OH if you need to. Congrats.................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
