Its in Milford CT now at the BACK of my storage due to frustration and having to slam everything back in as the sun went down. Has all hinges and keepers , looks pretty good in my hands. Nothing too beautiful of course but workable. I'll be getting storage all tossed around again before the real winter kicks in - I hope. Don't be afraid to ask about it. Like I say its a good little project and could look new again by spring with your effort.

I poked around but could not find a tail for the lighted visors I just got. Are they there just tucked up under the ceiling liner? Would be nicer if they were powered up.

Yeah , if I'd had one that stayed that nice it's still be under my butt on a daily basis. My former '87 turbo wagon is about the closest I've gotten to something solid. If you read a current post you'll see it for sale and one guy pointing out rust on the windshield pillar but otherwise that car is truely solid. I'd still be running it if it weren't for serious pressure on parking here at the time.And I was even willing to tough it out with the turbo. Otherwise its bye bye 80's for me. I say do it! Re-use , Recycle !!

Light sideswipe this side , plus rot : Fenders are cheap enough. Wheels I hit quick with a Rustoleum product.

Good condition excepting the rot spots and a light sideswipe.

Yeah , I've already gotten west coast cars delivered. Sentimental , yes. But I'm not in a position to dump more money than a reasonable value. Most cars I'd agree with you about how far rot goes where you can't see but they really did this car right with Zeibart. All insides of doors , sills , etc. Were done. I can't speak too confidently until I lift all carpets and truly poke around. But I'd guess that much of what you see does stop not far from the edges you see. I'm not opposed to a hack job with cutting out rot and making pieces to overlap the hole plenty and hit it with undercoating and call it better than before. Not trying to restore,just patch n go. Danny w does have lots of sheetmetal but we would still be talking time = money. Gotta run. Might check back later.

Cool , thanks for letting us all know. Nollie !!!!!! Israel !!!!!! Hello ? Hope you guys in Israel are ok. Good luck!

You could be right. I've been out of the 80's for some time now. Has to be someone here who's had their hands on the late 80's gov's.

http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/album.php?albumid=11 Check out my '78 from the underside. Now before you cry rot box , you really can't see the large areas of healthy metal protected - somewhat - by the aging Zeibart protection. I focussed on the ugly spots needing real attention. I have a 3 minute + video I'll try to upload somewhere and let you guys see. That'll show you the whole deal and I think a cameo appearance by Subafreak.

Trying to clean house. Rust is not as bad as pic might make it seem. Nothing rotted through , workable with POR15 etc. Lower lip has a bend in it you can see. That should bend back fine with some heat. Hey ,its your winter project so it has to keep you busy somehow. Has all hinges and stays. Its either at my storage in Milford or at ctsuba's in Salem CT. If you want shipping that's fine. I just got a few large boxes. Offers can be submitted via PM or email me at moosens at yahoo dot com

There is an upgrade metal gear that subaru offered. There's currently two governor gears on eBay but the seller didn't get back to me as to whether or not they were the upgrade. I don't have a parts manual to check but if you find them oneBay and get someone to check the p/n you might find the best CHEAP fix. Good luck! Lots of us here involved in the romance of caring for an old Subaru or two , or three .....

Next !!!! Enjoy the next one,Russ.

At work now. Send me a message or email to moosens at yahoo dot com

Yeah pretty much straight across the board , no matter what you have. Gotta love places like western Montana where it's high and dry.

Front driver's side: Front right as seen from under center of car Gotta run , more in the future.

I drilled out the two rivet heads so you can use the two screws you have from yours with the two from mine , no rivet heads! Yeah !! Also , somewhere in my new old stock stash is a small amount of those switch faces with the "OFF , ACC , ON , START" - but it'll take me forever to find them.

I have one set aside. Pics below !!! Turns , works fine. Just oldish. Pretty sure this one is from a 76-77 but I could be wrong and it probably doesn't matter.

That is an entirely heroic effort !!!! Will you be my friend? Lol seriously , I wish you lived in my neighborhood. Mine has Zeibart which was done correctly in that it also drained well besides repelling water. Not a lot of spots are flaked off and rusty. Couple of actual rot through spots in the usual zones but mostly solid enough to still be a workhorse and plaything. pics later .... Jesse , you enticed yet??

Factory manuals are cheap. If you don't score one from eBay I've got a 79 for you. Had the Brat supplement but sold that. Don't sweat it , the 4WD wagon diagram will work. I have to dig one out so if you shop elsewhere I'll understand. Outside chance I or someone scanned one before and it may be archived here. Try a search?

No but thanks for asking. You paid Todd, right? He paid me . I paid Chris your money that Todd paid me. And the wheel goes 'roun in coiculls .... All hooked up except Nollie who's address I need and YO Israelis , you can pay me anytime now ....... Flatfour you should see yours before turkey day... I think. He sent me the tracking number if you really need it I'll get it later. Cheers!

Anybody else have one? I'm amazed how zippy this little car is. I'll post pics soon. Has rot in corners but still a good commuter for here with no body inspections !!! Thinking about using this car. I can see it's great on gas!! Two door. 5 spd. Same tire size as my '78! It's an 88.

Ahh, that name caught our eye. We are used to the sandy trails of the NJ pine barrens. On phone now but I'll try to post a pic, Mike. Check my gallery. Should be a shot of it over the NJ sand. Looking forward to this. Hoboken is probably not much further than my run. Be cool to have a fellow Subathusiast there incase Jesse bails out. I will post some detailed pics of my 78's underside later. Jesse had it up on a lift recently. You guys can see where I'm at for rust, and general condition. Probably the last year I do this type of riding with it unless I devote time and money - that old formula of divorce. Lol

We have it pencilled in. Most likely bringing my son and daughter.

Oh ok.
