And paper still rules.

What year ? I’m currently unloading some manuals, and lots of 1970’s parts. In my stash should be at least one FSM for something I owned like an 88 or 89. Complete sets are getting scarce I guess. Those later sections 4,5,6 you’d find nearly untouched. Pretty sure any I would have are going to be like that. Hoping to make more time at storage this weekend. If I find what helps you I’ll post back and message here.

Price is not outrageous. Not for up here in the northeast where you’ll be soon enough. Just got an 03 GT Sedan for a parts car for my 03 Legacy wagon. Jesse - Subafreak totally approves and he is our resident Subaru tech with much experience. We have that 2.5 headgasket fear , but he says no no , not this 2.5 - the ‘00-‘04 gets a big thumbs up. If it’s really that sweet and you’re not struggling to put food in the table so I vote that you buy this one. Get it properly rust proofed.

There ya go !!! Ed Rach , we miss you brother !

Welcome. Interesting place Amarillo. Enjoy !

I’m going to say it’s 80’s. Going through my “stupid amount” of old keys I see mostly F and E with E seemingly being for glove box or trunk in most cases. Then I have known Loyale keys and they are four numbers followed by a letter , mostly X and Y Yeah , from this lot in front of me I’m going with 80-84 or gen 2 Brat or late run Hatch.

No , not necessarily. My fault for putting your XT manual and the key code together. Check with an older dealership and hopefully an older parts guy. FWIW all my older 1970’s let’s typically lead off with an “F”.

Oh , that’s an XT

Yes it could very well be. Not used to seeing “W” but ??

Gotta move to Chile.

If you have 14” wheels it’s because of the market you’re in , I would guess. As mentioned the USA had 15” in that era. There is a diameter match going from 14 to 15. 195/60/15 will equal the circumference of your stock 14”. We have done just that , as have many others , with our 94 Legacy. Enjoy !

Yes I was think that same thing about coverage. Pipes still exposed but at least there’s some possible deflection. Stop sign !! That’s us. Hahaha He watched me torture Subarus taking him to meets in the woods so it’s tough to tell him to go easy.

Larry , I’m ok with those pipes. I managed to tuck a couple away at least before they mostly vanished up here. But if he needs a 2 port , then I’m needing one.

Yeah , I’m trying to get him to send a good pic. He shoved the phone under but didn’t point it upward. That was like 3 days ago. Arrgggh

You know , my wife’s 94 Legacy is an Outdoor Sport edition or Alpine , whatever. It did indeed have a skid plate. But I’m keeping that on her car. Damn , they just scrapped my 93? AWD parts car wagon. Crap! I’ll bet there was one on it too. Waaaagh !!!

Larry , I’m dead sure I won’t find find one. Wait , I’d better not use dead. Lol If you do have one or find one I’ll gladly pay you as usual but would have it sent to my son in AZ. So please let me know , not in any real rush though. I have to get his Y pipe sorted out first from 2600 miles away. Have one here but the crack might just be ok to weld. Getting kids to communicate when you want ..... hahaha So at this moment I’m waiting to hear what he or his friends did. 96 Outback 2.2 should be the same as the 90-94 exhaust port , yes ?? The snowman 4 port. Mainly need a front bash plate to protect that Y pipe. Hoping he doesn’t really off-road it.

Are there any or have to go custom ? My thought was to outfit my son’s ‘96 Legacy Outback. Thanks. I can’t recall seeing any up this way.

No but great news. I just bought a $400 parts car - GT Sedan , manual shift. Its up where Subafreak does some work. I’ll be bringing my wagon up there soon and he/we will swap over the entire drivetrain with engine too I think. Parts car has lower miles , one owner always synth oil - not a big deal to me but I guess I’ll stay that route. Thanks for asking ! Hoping to give up one of the 92’s soon after.

Thanks Dave , you do the same. Most folks have gone over to face book , which I try to not get too involved with. Good to see you back here.

Wow !! It’s 2020 and lookie what’s come upon us all. Worldwide pandemic. Best wishes to all through this episode. We are feeling well here as of this post. No issues , and staying home as much as possible. Just like many folks I had my dreams of selling off lots of parts and reducing storage. It’s going to be a tough year. I sure will do my best for you nice folks. I realize that lots of us are losing money and falling behind. So far all is well enough here but very tight for $$$ And I know it’s the same for others. Letting some things go for free. Milford CT is the center of the vintage Subaru parts world. 70’s anyways ... Try to stop on by if at all possible. Otherwise message me here or email at moosens@yahoo.com Ebay is a bit tough on hobbyists like me or you when it comes to selling. I’ve toned it down for now but you’ll see my stuff under the infamous “cashingmystuffin” , the one , the only , blah blah blah And we’re back to the bottom line here ... I/we need to reduce storage space so it’s a big year to make things happen. Hoping I can make you all great deals and we all roll forward happily. One last word. Some guys are reselling my NOS parts at 10x the price !! Best of luck out there !

Sounds good to me. Enjoy ! that pump you want is out there. It’ll show up soon.

Right , thanks for straightening that out. 2wd save for the 70’s cars. Lol

I’ve been out of the 80’s game for some time now. But it’s not like there’s a lot out there so whichever you come across first. Any 80’s turbo will have rear disk brakes.

Yeah , storage .... always a tough call on large items like hoods and doors and the rear hatch. Thanks 3Pin ! Soon I’ll have them both side by side but I’m around 90 miles from where they will meet so I appreciate the heads up. Ido - I would rather exercise you nice folks here and especially draw from direct owner experience rather than play around with car-part etc. But thanks for that.

And for the record I’m generally a shelf stocker not a seller. These are parts for keeping to sustain my wagon as the model fades away from junkyards and used ones are scarce. It’s cold and salty up here so we don’t enjoy the benefits of having old Subarus to scavenge from as much as many other places. Stockpile !! Lol Geez , I only sat in it for a half hour driving it to its destination and can’t recall if it was a leather interior. I don’t think so. Don’t think it’s a special edition either. Probably won’t sell a single part. But if you’re looking for 70’s parts I may have you covered. Cheers!!
