Soon , very soon. I'm hoping to get down there in the next week or two. Mostly we're going for other reasons beyond bashing the tar out of a car. We're going to give the car some exercise and avoid trouble - but you can go as hog wild as you choose to, just have a plan and equipment for your or your car's extraction. For the new and unknowing , we generally meet at the ranger station in Atsion NJ on Rt. 206 - over across from the station in the large grassy area surrounding the gravel parking area. The riding is 99% over sandy trails that are hard packed enough to support a Front Wheel Drive car andwe've even seen old RWD cars go thru too. So its nothing to be worried about if you don't act like an idiot. Smart to have such items as a tow strap , lunch , water , etc.. Think ahead and plan accordingly. Recent rain means it'll be soggy - too dry it'll be a lot of dust in the face of whoever is not in the lead position ..... need to fix a flat over sand? Then you'll need a good base for your jack - 2 x 12 about 24" long works great or thick plywood ..... Can't stress this enough: we personally will not be going all out but will be enthusiastically moving through the forest. Our mission is to p/u some wheels I won on eBay for $1.04 i Wilmington DE , hunting reptiles and such , camp one night , and have some fun on the trails. Cheers!

How was Saturday?

It's still a dry run isn't it? Swap that pan now and be happy about doing it.

Better use that discount to make up for the paycheck those dealers give out. sorry , had to. Note to self - keep Paul on "the list".

Sure it is ...now git to makin' it a GSR Seriously, please explore putting the earlier grill from the Coupe or 4WD wagons. Round orange lights ....mmmmmm Let me know what parts I can take forever to get to you.

Much like that in my '78 4WD wagon.

Supposedly Andrew - wagonsonly - and , Charlie - ctsuba , are going. If they do there's a good chance I'll run down there too , but no promises.

That's right. Good luck with it! You have what I consider the most desrirable Gen I Subaru - Brat anyways. Toss up between that and a Coupe for top dog overall vintage Subaru for me. But in general the Brat is most known and therefore most desired by the masses. And the '81 is one of a kind!

No sweat Earl, and totally my fault. Good luck with this one. Going to be a winner , I'm sure. Can't go wrong with those body styles.

Nice! Pretty sure with very little mod you can get the front grill from an early Coupe or Stage I 4WD grill to work , which has the round orange lights and super***************in look in general compared to the '74-77 Stage I squareness. I'm glad you're going to make a mold for that Kamei. It kills me to have mine and not have a space to work in that'll allow me to go to town. I cut prepreg all night long. Uni , woven , glass , E-glass , etc.... This one desreves the nose job. Hey , you still want all that crap I was/am still putting together? - lights , tail light .... ?? Cheers!

Where did they mount? Would love to see them. Did they also make any for the otherwise front drum 1970's cars? Here that means up to the Stage I 1400's - say around 1974 or so - after the ff-1 series. I've got to guess that those early factory or semi-factory rally teams had them.

Gotta guess it to be something like a warning buzzer , or seatbelt timer.

Unfortunately its 2001 and you got a deal !! :-\ Prices of used cars are outrageous for the most part. The old $500 beater is just about impossible to find - although I got lucky last year.

Nice score Tony ! Wouldn't mind a couple of those. Finder's Fee paid ! Good to see you around here still. Enjoy that ride!

Call whenever you need to. I know your hours so if you see this later today and want to try me I'll probably be awake.

No , I was right. Check back a few posts.

Oh wait , I've got sixteen other topics to bring up ....

OK , congrats on that too.

What?? LB had kittens ??? Congrats!! Gonna talk to the bumper guy soon ..... email going out now.

still no pics ???? why am I looking back here again??

Nice project! Be thankful it could be a lot worse. Your wheel aprons look good. I'll probably be replacing at least one of mine when the time comes. As for your Q's , 1st pic is a broken wire hold down. That holds the oil sending unit line you have right there next to it. 2nd pic , "stove pipe" which would have a paper/foil-esque tube going from that up to the air filter box under the "nose". You can get by w/o it but it helps to have it working in the winter. (carb. warmer) 3rd , Broken radiator drain plug. Temp. sensor also in pic - has one wire lead - clean that sucker up with some 0000 steel wool and it'll last another 30 years, well , maybe.... 4th , Crossmember not in ???? Those should be your crossmember bolts holding your wad (engine and tranny) .... hmmmm , ok , I see it now , you got the engine on the ground .... 5th , battery box is like many get even where there's no rust - sort of. Cut and paste. Toughest part for you probably , but again be thankful for that . Have fun! You're doing plenty fine enough for making it functional and enjoyable again. Cheers!

No , rifle is extra but the pipe is free.

yummy ! Check out that wood steering wheel on the ff-1 ? mmmmmm

Nice !!! Congrats !! Patience paid off , eh??? And you still probably don't have $4K into it ..... or do you? Umm , hate to bring up this subject but - alarm??? Looking too damn good now. Seriously,FL ain't much different than this area. Go Tommy! Man I hope you don't take that thing to gigs. I know you'd like to but I'd think twice about it.
