Kids had the sound down.... sounds great. Thanks for the tour...again.

Yeehah !! No sound? :-\ Would love to hear the Beast roar.

Oooops... I'll put a lock on the G/B thread for now. Float this thread, guys.

Rather than the usual deal of finding a manufacturer this should be a project one of us could tackle ..... yes? Simple part. Find decent thickness material , make template , someone whip up a batch in their garage or basement,etc.. I'm thinking Earl might be inclined to work some magic. Yes?? Or would you rather find a shop to produce them? Earl's post: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?p=862289#post862289

Sounds good to me. Maybe I'll make a Group Buy post....

We need to copy those too. No idea on if new are around but hopefully our resident Subaru employees will let us know if SOA has any listed.

Very cool,but when can we see some of your talent expressed in a 70's fourstroke Subaru? Still waiting for the 360 bug to bite me. Or for you to sell yours. Keep 'em comin' Cheers

Looking great !

Just curious if anyone has swapped in a 508 or any other Sanden model for a 507. I'm well off from needing to do the swap but could be a good winter project.

I still haven't found words to say. Looked at this post a few times now. Yow!!!!!!!

Getting the older car folks together is a challenge. I'd love to join you guys sometime but can't commit to bringing a Brat untill I get my '79 going. You got wheelin' trails up there that won't get us busted? Don't forget we do random trail runs in south Jersey and we get a decent turn out for the Carlisle Import Show in May.

Hats off to you my friend !!!

As of this moment no but I'm trying to pull a fast one and maybe get Luc out in the Pines for another romp.

hahahaha well,I'll be there. Hoping to have my '92 Legacy wagon back in action. Otherwise look for the old '78 4WD wagon. Cheers!

I guess all of you have been folowing the series this year. Mladin wrapped it up for Superbike....just gonig to see his last race,not sure why,and the other classes race on Saturday. We'll be camping in the Barrens or at another nearby location closer to the track. Friday night almost definitely we'll be IN the Barrens. Looking like the '78 will rough it one last time. :-\ Everyone hold hands and pray.

NOW the guy near Chicago gives up. We've heard that this one is not all that great. "taintor" - pardon that,now to your situation. I don't know if you have a 2 door there or what. If you do,then there's a guy here with all glass and some other parts that'll help you out. Not sure how crazy you want to go but you're not going to even come anywhere close to a true restoration so just have fun with it. I vote that you throw at least some money at it and take a stab....but that's because its your money and I'm an old school Subaru lover. - Post 360 that is. Good luck.

Going to NJMP in Millville. We'll be doing the cheapy run with camping and minimal lugage. Probably just my son and myself. We went to the Barrens a couple of weeks ago as a family get away. Had a great time but only slightly wheeled the Toyota Camry we rented. THis weekend we're hoping to leave early on Friday,get set up,do some wheeling if possible. Then Saturday should be all racetrack....we'll see what I feel like watching and paying for. The AMA has really taken a nosedive with their racing program. Not a pretty picture right now with the new contract. Anyhow, its the first time they're back up this way since they ditched Loudon so I'm going anyways. I'll try to post more but I'm on very limited computer use these days. Cheers!

4WD (mine is a '78) has that belt driven fan "on a stick" as I call it. Well the stud snapped while doing around 75mph in the left lane. Little plastic fan pieces all over the place. Ate the radiator,no other real damage. Don't ya know I just did the water pump and hoses and worked around or under actually,the LARGE bracket for the A/C and alt. wich also holds the driven fan. I was looking at that stud the fan rotates on and thought it was not well engineered and would be a problem sooner or later. Well I sure wasn't thinking less than 48 hours later. Waaaaaagh. But in some SiCk way it was somehwat enjoyable going back into it today and pulling out another reman'd radiator,etc... and making it my current daily driver. Luckily the eaten radiator was only $35 found in New Haven from an older rad. shop. And the replacement was not much more. Ended up doing the oil pump,front crank seal,valve cover gaskets,set points gap, etc....out of love. If you eliminate that driven fan you'll need a V-belt around 13285 (very small) for the A/C to Alt. .

I'll have to dig up some pics when I have more time. Not too many though,unfortunately. Got those fenders off yet? Check for the foam strip and they used for sound deadening,I thing. It acted as a sponge and the tops of the fenders rust through even in dry climates. Check under the cowl too. Take t out and clean all that out,make sure water drains the way its supposed to etc....

THat timing gear might still be availible on eBay. Not that any of us probably need one but it just stuck in my mind that one is out there and I come across it in my searches every so often. Got me curious too.

Man you got lucky with that body ! That is to US UP HERE. THat's candyarse rust to us. This is great. I hope Danny in TN sees this and gets involved a little. He has my old '73 GL1400 Coupe

1976 - grab it. That's a weird year with a different final drive ...check it out!

Now you can imagine how it feels riding a motorcycle or vintage Subaru around here. If they're not pushing your rear bumper they're almost certainly passing you on the right - which psses me off to no end. Many of the people here detract from the beauty and fortunate proximity to NYC , mountains , farmland , saltwater , etc. Remove the discourteous, selfish, and greedy and its a beautiful place.

I can't see any restrictions in the FPM's ... I don't have a lot of time to research right now,sorry.
