Going to bed smiling....good night all.

WagonsOnly should be asking shortly.

Thanks again for the help today/tonight,Andrew!!!Whoohooo!!!

I'm at 19 states! And Konrad,in Poland.

Call me as soon as you want to,but at least after 6AM,please. There's no snow or freezing rain to worry about.Let's do it and do it quick.I can't get the touring wagon,sorry.Best I can do is the '78 or the GLF.

Sorry,what I didn't say was IF you had a good drop in engine here then it'd be worth it to get the solid body.With all that mileage on it you'd better have a plug 'n play engine ready. Matt is right though,if you REALLY hunt you can still find them with minimal rust,but they aren't getting any easier to find up here.

Got mine at the last minute. Thanks,Andrew.Have a great celebration of your choosing. Monday?????????????? :brow:

I would LOVE to find a company that'll ship a car across the country for $500 so PLEASE let us know if you get ANYONE to bring that car from the west coast to Scranton for $500. My personal opinion is it'll be at least $800. Sure you can find one just like it around Pottsville,etc....but it'll be rotting from the underside...I think you know that,so you're smart to look into the long haul. I know there's some people that'll take my remarks are sarcastic but I really mean it when I ask to please let us know if you find cheap and reliable transport for a cross country effort.Gas prices didn't come down that much.Before they went up you'd get quotes of well over $1000 from most companies,and I'm just about 120 miles further east than you. I think if the car is less than $800 it's worth it but that's me.If your acceptable spending cap is around $2,200 then you'd probably be happy in the long run. 88 and 89 are the BEST years for the D/R,the best tranny ever. Good luck.

Tailgatewagon has an early FPM .....but,I just looked and the backup light is on the gatebumper.Looks like something off a 60's Yamaha That's the wagon for ya.... Here's the 71 sedan:

Well,of course I'm flatterd and all.I really wish I could have gone already,sure hated to turn you down.You guys are the best,I know that,and I know I probably belong out there way the healthrisk away from the Beast Coast.... Planning,*JUST* planning,a 2007 west coast trip to gather somethings up and shake all the hands.Hahahahaha,maybe I'll get my wheels from Mudrat.No sweat Johnny,I won't join the hound pack just yet.Geez,I wish I could go help him out too.Just no babysitting!! Hey,how about my list huh??? What am I up to now? 19 states and a Polock!! I waited to join in on this thread but I'm starting to really like it.I open the members list in another window when I have time and add some old members I'd forgotten about.I know I'm going to hit 20 states..... Man this board has,for the most part,been just awsome as far as meeting good folks!!! People that are 3000 miles away want me to come over and hang out,how friggin cool is that?

Well,.....told ya Edit on the way... Eric,All that stuff to you too my friend!!!!!!! Dammit you were so freakin,kinda close.....Pushing for a west coast 2007 visit.

I'm pretty sure the M series was from '74 - '77 stage I.It's shown in the '74 Auto Trans SM Hope that helps. If that tranny was the "A" then I'm guessing the M41 was the Japanese version.That looks like any stage I auto that I can recall,doesn't it?

After all these years I could never be confident that I remember everybody.But,I'll do a list for kicks. Will be edited becasue I know I'm forgetting lots more people. NJ:EJ,SVXpert,Francis(great guy!!) that wasn't here long,BOZ,Frank (great Pine Barrens trail guide!),Aldo, PA:Skip,Dave,Melissa,Matt,Mike that works at Hershey Pk.,Dennis,Jason,Ben,Joe,Rex, CT:Andrew,Chris L.,Scotty K,Art V.,Louis,BrusBrother Jim,John from Meriden,and his buddy DonBucket,Connie,Rory, RI:Jesse,Adam, NY:Ravi,Moshe,the guy from Long Island who sat in his car while Connie and I pushed a GL wagon around,Brad,One woman who used the board to give/sell a car away,Paisan Mike,Brian way upstate,Jon from Cold Spring,Paul(pbdloyale), MA:Brad,Skip, ME:Milt,ZRBrat,JunkyardGabe, NH:Mike who got my Brat, VT:Ken, DE:Trudy (now in VT) MD:Subyrally Tim, IA:Deitrich Lamade, WV:Trogdor!

Poland:Konrad 19 States so far.And one foreign country. !!!!!! Think moose think.... Gee,one guy from Texas is overdue to fly up....

Well if you guys never saw this before in my other posts then you're in for a surprize.There's a 1971 splitgate ff1 wagon right here in CT,still in running condition.It's a non board member that owns it.He's met Connie,and a couple others. Oh Andrew,I think he said he dropped a 1300 into it but it came with an 1100. Forget about it!! He ain't sellin'. Brian,if you can hold any ff1 parts for me I'll make the connection.My friend is also WAY overdue to contact Ed Parsil of the 360 club for a whole mess of ff1 parts.My friend doesn't do much computer action. FourGuzzis had some rotting away in Alabama,but they returned to earth. I'm sure at least one more will turn up somewhere.

Bump minus the '73 I'm very proud to say that a board member is very interested in the '78 and agrees the price is fair.

Mick,Can you pass along a price? I'll pass it along to a non board member.He has an ff1 wagon.Do they work for him?

I think we're passing on the coverlay,so I edited the subject title. Todd reports many issues with them anyways,so we're concentrating our efforts on dashmats.

I'll bump this thread up occasionally untill just before springtime when it's probably the best time to approach the potential seller. Looks like we're tossing the dash coverlays to the bin. Thanks again to Todd for his reporting on the issues with those. THose dash mats are fine enough as long as you have a nice dash to protect. Perhaps another thread on dash repair in the future???

Trying to raise cash for my next wave of vintage interests.And to pay Ed finally.I really need to dump off some old stock and make room....and take care of some money matters....if you really need to know. If you think my prices are too high but are interested you can approach me off the post thread.That means email or PM or phone if you have my number. My 4WD wagon can be used,and does get used in the winter without cause for alarm.It's a true workhorse with low mileage.Fully functional,the same mileage and condition that you'd pay $6,000+++ for if it were a Legacy on a dealer's lot. I'm not sure how many 86k mile cars you can get that run this well,are easy to work on,and look entirely interesting for under $6,000.My price on this wagon is firm,for now. 1978 4WD wagon - $3,800 The local dealer has offered $2,500 but I told them to look elsewhere.

All located in CT.All prices FIRM 1978 4WD wagon $3,800. a little over 80k on it.Original CT car that was rustproofed with Zeibart,correctly,when new. Edit:Holding off on selling the '73. SnoWay plow $800 will need $2 switch and some time to install.Works on Stage II EA71 cars and EA81 cars for sure.Certainly could be adapted to an EA82 as well. There's more but I won't post what I can't get at yet. Don't bother posting here.Contact me through email or phone if you have my number. You either want these at the prices posted or you don't. Keep in mind that I'm a moderator here in the historic forum and I'll simply delete any post on this thread.There's NO REASON to reply here.Contact me through email or phone ONLY please.That goes for anyone seeking more pics and info,etc. too. There's enough info here to satisfy basic interest.If you're serious then stand up and speak to me directly.

How many years has it been that I've asked you about any '73?? I don't know though,Andrew got one that's absolutely awsome for around what you're asking.When you're serious to sell please contact me.Thanks.

Second question.Is anyone interested? The guy just lowered his price.He had them for $199 each,way too much for me.Now he's lowered them to $99,not bad,but as always I'd love to pay less. EDIT***Just saw that he does still have uncracked fenders still at $199 each.*** I'm already in possesion of one,or was it two,fiberglass fender for my '78.He had them too,but I didn't see them listed a few minutes ago.I haven't bolted one up yet.I have to imaging you'd want some rubber washers for the bolts,right?Just curious if anyone has them in use right now,or any experience with them. Now,if I can just get a hood,drop in an EJ20T......

This is at least one of the companies,or peddlers,selling mats: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DashMat-1979-SUBARU-BRAT-Dash-Board-Cover-Mat_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ40017QQitemZ8012336344QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V I'd like to get one,or two.But I sure don't want to spend too much,and I won't be able to get mine untill after the new year,for sure. If your dash isn't cracked already,it probably will be.THese mats are plenty helpful in keeping your dash looking great. And,there's coverlays out there too.Much more expensive.Made to fit over your cracked dash pad.The picture sure looks great.I think at least one board member has spoken highly of the coverlay as well. Coverlay peddler: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/77-81-Subaru-Brat-Stage-II-Stand-NEW-Dash-Pad-Coverlay_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ40017QQitemZ8021512816QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW I bid up to I think $65 and still didn't hit his reserve.Again,I really can't justify spending that much and don't have the cash now.I was prepared to call it a Christmas gift and use the credit card,but $65 is about my limit regardless of how the money is flowing.I think if we get at least 5 people he's GOT TO come down to $65 each. Kick it around.It's winter so no hurry,OK??Let's get a good number of folks,if possible,before negotiating. I think it's a good idea for ONE of us to contact him/them and let him know what we're up to.Maybe he'll reply with terms we can more immediately agree upon.If I had a bunch of these things laying around and they sold in dribs and drabs I'd be happy to dump off a good number of them in one shot.Quick buck beats a slow duece. Anyone interested in the '72-77 Stage I dashes please let me know through email and we'll see how many we are.I'd like a coverlay for my '73 but I haven't seen them for the early style.Plenty of mats out there.

What will become of the 1300?? I'd love to have that for my '73.

Nah,if you blow up the picture you can see the cracks.Thanks for thinking of me.I do now have a really nice,near 100% blue dash,but it's got the woodgrain on the face,not the way my '78 came.If perfect blue dash came up I'd probably get it and sell the woody. The new holy grail of parts for me-mint condition blue steering wheel from a Stage II.
