Selling stock parts. Not sure how many members of a site which includes “mods” in their title are going to care for 1968-79 stock parts. Thanks for trying , but I don’t think I’ll bother with that one. You’re welcome to post directing folks over to me here. Or on the dreaded face crook sites. Here is best.

I’m getting quite disgusted this time around. Somebody step up to the plate and buy me out. Please. Milford CT - it’s in a storage unit off exit 35 of I-95 , really super easy to reach. Check my stuff on eBay - “cashingmystuffin” , then also consider that I have lots more loose items , small box items , then fenders from 1972–79 and gen one Brat. Seats , dashboards - at least one uncracked , wheels , A-bar front end protector , engine or two , transmission (4 or 5?) mostly 4WD , glass - mostly NEW , windshield or two , even have NEW windshield gasket I was saving for myself. More too , I’m sure. Getting too worn out. I want to spend my time differently these days. This is not some crazy large load. One medium box truck would knock it out. But you’ll have a good load for sure. moosens@yahoo.com is best.

Thanks very much! I think they were like $8 for the set , for new!! Unfortunately those have a slight seam “pucker” I hope you saw. Stinks that parts like that are hard to keep perfect for 4 decades. I think you might even be able to mend that pucker and clamp it for a long period of time and hopefully it’ll be dang close to perfect. Again , I went and bought all this stuff mostly 2007 and before. People should be considerate of that and realize this is a once around deal. There’s no re-stocking here. Three of us went in on a “couple or so barn stalls” worth of NOS and it took me at least three trips to PA from CT , hours of parts manual research marking as much as I could as best as I could , storing it - yes I have to pay for a unit because we own a condo in a high-rise (city boy) and then the effort to try to be the nice guy and list lots of individual parts plenty cheap. More listings equals more time. On top if that big haul I also went around to elder dealerships and gathered what I could. All more than 13 years ago. Now I have shifted from old Subarus and want to get into my motorcycles again before I’m way too old. I’m already on the border line of too old. So thats my story. You guys can score well as far as I can see. If you’re really wanting to make some deal contact me here. Keep in mind the age of robots is here and yes they have already threatened me for contacting members off site to make a deal. Hoping they stay the f out of the USMB. Thanks for reading. Enjoy!

Right on Shawn ! Hey man , life can be brutally busy for many of us. That’s not just some b/s excuse. Hang in there and have faith. You understandably thought you’d do some good by letting us all know , but a lot of us know the guy well enough to know that he simply is not a rip-off. Yes , I see there’s another guy or two who feel burned. But I’m confident there’s a good reason why things appear to have gone wrong.

Calling all EA-81 HT Coupes and owners
moosens replied to tylertrend's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Tyler , you’ll never get much of an assessment from just the good old USMB. But it’s cool that you’re trying and hopefully you’ll find some good company as well as parts and advice. Sure yours is rare now. I just sold those rear pillar emblems on eBay. Those are crazy to find so if you have nice ones you’d better take them off and only install them for shows. ( just kidding ) Seriously , those emblems guys practically kill each other for. Mine are about to ship to Poland ! As for tour sweet ride. I love those too. I’ll try to think of things to watch out for and get back. What colors do you have in and out ? -
Should we applaud or what ? Sorry , but what about this magic box? I have a factory parts manual from 1982 here at home if you need a little help.

Heater core location issues...
moosens replied to GoudaWagon's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Lol , old guys like me have to chuckle , you’d better make a separate post. Sounds cool , but I’m just happy to use and abuse stock. The original bulbs in new fresh condition are out there. An old guy like me would be happy just to have them all working. Please post a nice night shot of the cluster when you’ve got it done and make me envious. -
Heater core location issues...
moosens replied to GoudaWagon's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
There’s a post of mine archived about the EA82 heater core swap. Not a big deal. Good time to freshen up dashboard illumination too. Manage all the vacuum lines for the ducts. Re-foam the flappers. In that deep ya gotta make the rounds or it’ll bite you back. -
Yes sir eeeee still alive and still hoping to get storage reduced. But so much going on I have nowhere near the time I really need to get there. Meanwhile I am sadly offering good on eBay. “cashingmystuffin” that’s me. I’ve got around 70 items up right now. But that’s just some box stuff , way more at storage with some fenders , door , glass , engines , transmissions , rear diffs , A-bar , lots more.

Rock hard clutch (SOLVED: Pedal box)
moosens replied to fuji4x4's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Wondering if we can prevent this issue with some grease at the pivot and lubing the cable. -
Rock hard clutch (SOLVED: Pedal box)
moosens replied to fuji4x4's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Many of us have done this and many will need to sooner or later if they actually drive their car enough. (Pedal Box Repair/improvement) Glad I could help. This is a very common issue from the 1970’s left over into the 80’s. -
What is TOO rusty? (Wheels)
moosens replied to fuji4x4's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Maybe select the best one and have that as a spare just so you feel good about trying to salvage those beads. As mentioned , might not hold air if they all look as bad. Good luck. -

Bail out and start saving some spare change for a set from another enthusiast. -
Best to just call them. Probably run you around $38-45 per. My guess. Whatever it is it’ll be worth it.

Pardon me , but you folks with these 80-84’s will eventually need a group purchase. I suggest you contact PRP and ask about the mold from their supplier. Will that mold be destroyed ? Seems so tricky about ordering now , it’s only going to get worse. My point is to notify PRP and/or drop an order for 50 and call it an investment if you don’t get all 50 paid for up front. They’ll sell , trust me. We had two group buys that I handled for the Gen one’s. They’re all gone. PRP part no. for those is WCR-288 - as I recall. Good luck. Make a move now.

Big bump for the “season” Hoping to list some stuff on e bay but would much appreciate people stopping by. I know , it’s far. Why do I live way over here ??? It’s ok , push that gas pedal and make a trip out of it. Ebay - “cashingmystuffin” Your happy place - my storage - exit 35 off I-95 Milford CT USA Next to highway , super easy. Contact me and we can work out weekday or weekend time - prefer we meet between 7:30am and 3:00pm WEEKDAYS but might be able to flex. WEEKENDS I can meet you 7:00am on but not too late. Gets dark early so on weekends I like to be closing up around 4:30-5:00
