Ben,is this the one you got from me and had the spark plug that refused to come out in one piece?

Pat,thanks,but what kind of food do you like? And just so you know,the car coming this way was $300.So you're making some serious hauls for a whopping $500 worth of Japanese metal and plastic.I bow to you!My personal value of the car has to be over $3000,or it will be when I've installed the interior I have for it and paint it.I grew up with these cars and owned a '76 coupe(GF) and I think I owned a '74 coupe for a while too.We had so many '74-79 Subarus back then it was crazy. So,what kind of food do you like?

The outer loop,495,right?that's the extent of my sense of adventure around Beantown. Actually,Newbury St. though a yuppie hole,is a decent area.Good shops,easy to get into and the hell out of fast enough. OK,the real party is going to be down here everyone,so just pack up the car and trek on down. Looking like he leaves Jan 8th.Probably be here on the 11th or 12th. Worknight or not I'm doing something exceptional that night.

Sorry,I just can't seem to calm down.

I'll take 5 lbs of crab legs,a couple large salmon fillets,like the length of your arm,some moose and caribou venisen.....got any backstraps?

Good God in heaven,after going across the country you want to send him through Boston??? (trembling if fear).Well,only AFTER he's dropped off my car. All those one way streets and crazy drivers.....yikes! I will indeed offer up a wicked party for the night he arrives.Anyone within driving distance should attend.I'm definitely scoring this fellow a serious meal and whatever beer,etc. he chooses.I'd be more than happy to make it a big night with a stack of pizzas or Sushi from the gas station. Basically he's willing to do this and accept even less than I offered. I'll do all I can to make it up in the best meal I can give the guy,etc.I'm more than happy to foot the bill for a nice dinner,whatever it takes.Hibachi table?Sushi bar,the real one,Steak house,the best pizza on the planet,excellent Indian food,seafood,you name it we've got it here and GOOD.Night in the City(NYC)?I can probably do that too but I'd be pushing it a little. Did I mention that I'm all tingly???? I might whip up a serious white seafood lasagna to beat the band.Hmmmm,maybe I can borrow my buddy's super grill from outerspace and really go to town at the shop.A real throw down with the east coast folks. Let's all hold hands and pray for a warm early January and no serious snow along the way.

Gee,I wish that were the case,Eric.But it's NorthWet who's making the run eastward and back.

Yeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!! Oh man I'm so tickled right now......I'm smiling about as big a smile as I can. Wow,this is news to print!!!! Pat,What kind of food do you like?

Thanks Russ.There might be a trip to Mudrat's involved before the whole show heads east.

Which engine do you want?

Here's the most incredible opportunity for me yet.Please see what you guys can do to load up my '73 in Moxee with some goodies.Stuff that thang!!! Regardless of my list,please let me know of any parts from this era you may be discarding,selling cheap,or know of that you might handle for a small donation. What I'd like: any sheel metal from '72-79 Stage I or Stage II axles FWD manual tranny from '72-77 fuel pumps alternators and volt. reg's. solid steering wheels-no cracks any good interior parts,we need a '75 2wd shifter console for WagonsOnly in black...... brake and wheel parts Probably not thinking of something because of my excitement.I'm like a little kid right now.Many thanks to Pat,both Pat's,but NorthWet Pat especially at this time.Let's hope you can pull this off.If not I won't cry too much. I really think this is going to make a lot of people super happy if it all goes down.Butter Pat's roll!!! I know I am. I figure WTF,I'm going to shell out a good $900 even at the lowest price where I'd need to still pick it up over an hour + away from me.Bless this man for even considering this incredible journey. He makes a few stops,meets some board members,everybody makes exchanges,life is good.....life is GOOD!!!

Wow,this is turning into one heck of a great Christmas story.I may actually get my wheels from Mudrat!!!! .....yeeeeehaaaa. I think I might even send him some money and hope to get a serious front bumper for my Brat....or something cool like that.John,you got a catalog yet? Pat,we'll talk soon.I hope you got my message about the payout.Hope it's good to cover the ordeal.

Wow,this could really turn into something big here.Well,Mudrat has some wheels if they could get to the car.Someone else has some parts and was maybe going to go by John's....maybe get it all to Pat's...well,I can't expect all that but we'll see what else can make it into the '73 to come my way. As for return trip goods,I have Brat windshields,all glass,etc... also have a brush bar paid for by 75skunkaroo in Montana ....to be continued.

WoodChip,glad to have you along. Plenty of stuff for your car here that I'm letting go of cheap or free.I'm cleaning house of a load of late 70's through 80's Subaru parts. I had a funny feeling when I saw "WoodChip" it was someone from CT......hmmm.

So,pardon me for asking,but would you guys say that if you intend on doing this swap that you'd want to change out the ECU,main harness,whole kit 'n kaboodle?I was planning an MPFI upgrade. Heater connectors too?Sounding like you'd better swap out the dashboards and everything going through the firewall.Just for about what?5 more horsepower??The delivery is smooth from the start,that's what I like.The SPFI is almost like the last carbs they ran......lacking power,but better than the carbs by a good measure.

Thanks everybody! Mary,your story is the reason I'm posting.thanks for the insight. Rob,mostly I think Pat(NorthWet) means driveable so it can be driven up onto a dolly or trailer. Sure,I'm all for any delivery method that gets it here.Time is not an issue but I'd like to get it off of Pat(the seller)'s property fairly soon.He's been an absolute saint so far but snow is coming.....I'm sure that it's a pain having an extra lump around the place. Northwet,please look over the PM I replied to you and let me know what you can do.THANK YOU!!!!!!

Matt,it was late,too much to do,just happy to be blowing stuff out.Funny,we tipped it in one direction to make sure all the antifreeze was out.....but i guess we blipped out.Shoot me. :-p Connie,I also neglected to think of tossing some sort of stand for you to work of off.I have my power saws home but I can throw something together that resembles a cabinet with a worktop,or a stand with worksurface...you name it.And yes,it'll hold the hundred and twenty pounds tops that the block you have weighs.

Thanks for the help everyone!!! Especially the mystery guest himself-WagonsOnly-who delivered an EA82 to Simpreza2 and then came down and helped some too. I went mildly wild and stayed untill around 2:45AM,just kept moving on that coffee and stayed warm buzzing around.Got a lot settled in better.Much more aisle space and a couple good clearings.Good to sweep out all the dust and crap. Thanks Dave,Melis,Jon,and Connie too! OK see you next month for the third installment of the closing of the FSCR

OK I got a good bonus and with some sales recently I now have the funds for the transport of the '73 coupe from Moxee,WA to Bridgeport or Milford,CT Sorry if this is off topic.Do as you must,mods. Ben,please remind me of the hauler you mentioned.Thanks.

Place: 230 Woodmont Rd. Milford,CT 06460 exit 40 in either direction off I-95 from south-going northbound take laft off exit,go to intersection and take right,on the left in the first block,just after Dunkin Dognuts. from north-going southbound take left off exit,go under highway and through intersection,just after the Dunkin Donuts on the left. Light duty partying,no bail money required this time.....I hope. Mostly,I'm cleaning out my workshop and will be giving stuff away or offering incredible deals on items we all need for our 70's and 80's cars.
