  1. That's a front air dam. Just curious to see who'd spend for one. I can't jump into producing these just yet,but I'm going to try my best to learn to make,and produce copies of this air dam and assorted items. It's going to take some time and machinery before I can really get started. In the meantime I'm looking into established businesses doing the same to do some brain picking,maybe shop out a batch of them. Also have a friend who is a writer and editor for a sailing magazine who is due to go visit a high end sailing products mfg. to write an article. He's going to score lots of info for me.Maybe even bring me along. Where I work I see the process,but I need to see how I can take a small time approach to it in a smaller setting.
  2. Headgaskets tend to soak along the lower edge when old Subarus sit a long time. But I doubt you'll see any problems,just keep an eye on the headgaskets too. Consider getting a good engine cleaning done and that'll make it easier notice any leaks. The Gen I Brat you have is becoming more and more accpeted in the world of vintage automobiles,there's no doubt about that. I hope you enjoy it and keep it healthy. Exhaust systems tend to rot out where condensation is an issue,and the car sits for too long. Probably not a problem for you out there. Expect the brakes to be rough,you know the deal. But most of all,show us some pictures! We just did our second group purchase of windshield gaskets. For around $50-60 total,shipping included,we all have security from leaks.And they all leak eventually regardless of climate,location,etc. I'm pretty sure I can swing one more out of the remainders I have here if you need one. Give it a good walk around and make a "Wish List" and please add yours to our "Wish List" in the Historic Forum,right here: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=39656 Good luck with it! Paul
  3. Getting very serious here. I will make a run within a month,maybe 6 weeks tops. I want parts for my '92 Legacy wagon FWD 5spd,mostly.
  4. Oh yeah,that's why I always mention that people bring dust protection. I'll always remember us running in the back of the group that wicked dry day we were there.Cough! Cough! Well,we absolutely NEED to go down there. My son and I will probably camp overnight Firday. We might ask our neighbor to join us in his lifted Ford.
  5. Sounds like a plan to me. Thanks for the report!
  6. Can we get a report from Harry's,please? At least maybe over the next couple of weeks,if possible. I'm mostly looking for items for my '92 - with '93 features- Legacy wagon. So if someone goes by soon,please let me know what you see there. Would like to find a nice grey interior to pick pieces from,for starters. Would love to meet up with the usual enthusiasts,maybe even hit the Off Road park there too if I can come down with something 4WD.
  7. Hey guys I'm going to have to bail out. Sorry. Perfect weather too! Push it down another week or two?
  8. Familiar with TSD's .Attempted Finger Lakes once with Brad "bythesea". Have a much better idea of what its like now....but still novice all the way. Who's up for being my navigator!?? I'm pretty sure that day is open. Anybody have a rally 'puter? :cool: Orange soda?
  9. Hey Rob,just saw this while checking out the newer forums.. Yeah,that'd be me. Infact....I'm fighting my former comments that I'd never have another Ducati as my commuter. But,the Monster sure makes it a tough decision. Easy to work on,like a Subaru. And with Italian valve adjustments you need that easy access because you're doing it a lot. And,the Monster is the Harley of all other bikes. the typical owner instantly adds something to set it apart from stock and individualize it. I don't know.Part of me wants to go yuppie and get a BMW K1100 or 1200LT for commuting and wife. My back is telling me no more sport bikes. But no,I'm not ready for a Hawg. Buell,maybe. Wouldn't mind either of the two current hot sellers for Ducati. The Hypermotard and the 1098. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :-p http://www.ducati.com/en/bikes/my2007/ModelPage.jhtml?family=Hypermotard&model=HM1100S-08 http://www.ducati.com/en/bikes/my2007/ModelPage.jhtml?family=Superbike&model=SBK1098STRICOLORE-07 1098: Hypermotard: Shoooooey,boy! That dang Ducati done took off into the woods.... Tought to resist.
  10. I sure will do just that once I get my '73 down here from my parent's house. And I'll fit it up to the '78 or '79 wagon and the '74 sedan,coming soon,as I can.
  11. 18th at this time is not good. But I might come down on Sunday,actually,try to camp out Saturday night if possible. We've got something going on Satuday.Can't remember right now,but Saturday morning and afternoon are shot.
  12. I'm all set to purchase enough for my '73 Coupe and '74 4door sedan. Let me know where and when to send the dough. :cool:
  13. Back at ya for another look. Call me if it's easy enough to get the panels,otherwise I'll talk to you when you get back.
  14. Dev, I'm going to Manchester,NH tomorrow- Saturday - in the early AM Call me if its possible to get those panels while I'm up there. Congrats on the find!
  15. Which diagram part number? #7 (rubber coupling assy.) is 6313 38090 for Stage II '77 -'79 and Gen I Brat
  16. Nah,not that lucky. I have a '73 GL 1400 Subaru Coupe.
  17. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM tasty! My '78 will have to do for now. Maybe my latest '78 but it's up in Mass. and unregistered. Can't wait to have my '73 Coupe looking like your B ! Mike,on a side note,I'm all hot for a Volvo P210,speaking of 210's. Just incase you see one around,keep it in mind,please.. If I don't find one worth messing with in a couple of years I'm going to build my own copy with more than likely a Subaru drivetrain.
  18. Sure looks like a great day. How receptive will they be of unrestored cars?
  19. You guys need to cut your states up and glue the cool places back together again real close to each other. j/k But man,everything is so far for you guys,so it seems. Portland,Sea-Tac,they look like great places to be near,but most other places of interest are miles away. Connie is only 45 minutes from civilization on the shoreline. The northwest corner of our little state is the most beautiful and most rugged. It's really like "somewhere else,some other state" because it more resembles VT or NH than the rest of CT. Wild cats,black bear,moose...that ain't the CT I have down here. In many ways she's lucky to be up there away from certain things down here ....people! But if you don't shoot guns or toss a line in the water there's much less to do up there. Probably the major reason we never went to New Milford like we were looking into years ago. All in all it's a great town and has enough stores to satisfy without being over ridden,yet. Still one of our favorite towns here in CT. The Chicken Dinner at the Fire House rules. Pretty soon you'll be having extra dough,Connie. then your outlook/perception of CT anyways,will change,I hope. It's hackable. If you really need rider's clubs ,etc. check over the line in western NY or go ride at Doug Henry's place. Milfrod Rider's Club Friday Night Races..wanna go some Friday night?
  20. I disagree,Connie. You can wallow in your misery or do something about it. You'd better let that insurance kick in before taking on extreme sports at your age,no offense. Anyone in extreme sports regardless of age should be healthily insured. And again,you moved up there away from everything,sorry. If I suggest most things to you,including Milford Rider's Club,you're probably gonig to tell me it's too far,right? Move to the action if you want it. Sorry,but you need to move in my opinion. CT doesn't exactly fit me either but I sure know how to keep myself busy here. Personally I'll be getting back into windsurfing and boating now. No museums in sight on the water. No tree huggers either.
  21. No way! You chose to live up in the sticks..... :-p Too much to do down here. Besides,I hunted and hiked that corner of the state. There's plenty of trails to hike.
  22. REally? Happy B'day! 18th suddenly not so great. How about that Sunday? I'll get back and see if I can still do the 18th....
  23. All you freakin hotshots and no updates? What are you waiting for the water wheel to power up the one room schoolhouse's computer or what? We want pics !!! Everybody OK there? Tickets?? Damage?? Come on,we wanna git the dirt on y'all down there.
