Holy dog doo , muthuh ....... Well , to start with , yeah I've been thinking about you too. Did I try to contact you maybe end of last year? Anyways , my '78 is getting rough as in throw in the towel , maybe. And my son will be an AZ resident soon ..... we've gotta talk !! Send me a PM with your number. Seems I deleted it or didn't make it over to this phone. Welcome back ! Cheers!!

Then the snow started ... But yeah I really am going to push stuff out this year. Going to be minus 4 on Saturday so I'm kind of thinking of my toes and how much I like them not blue. Lol Soon , and it'll be with Greyhound

Wow ! , hey please don't even mention putting some hack light in place when there's like a few guys out there who have it new. I'm unable to grab my new old stock from the back of my storage right now but there's other folks with the same light. They are common among NOS dealer finds. I'll get back to you though.

No , it's kind of dead of winter right now. I won't even consider any activity at storage these next couple of weeks. Expected -2 degrees and I work overnights so it's just a bad combo right now.

Interesting. Best of luck with it. I'm about to send a similar condition set of the same seats out west , less a drivers seat. You'll have to get yours doctored up because finding any drivers seat in mint condition is impossible. I have for sale a coupe fuel filler door. And an early style gas pedal too. I have some locks for doors and trunk. Hmmm , more if I can dig but it's winter so no promises. Some of us here started with these vintage cars quiet a while back. There's myself and a few others who have gotten small lots of new old stock from closed out or elder dealerships. I also have those tail lights complete. Have new side markers and turn signals. Etc... We'll talk soon. Cheers!

My own current daily driver is up around 279k Just a baby.

As long as this thread continues to pop up I'd like to point out I should have a post way early in this thread , about "the professor". A guy in North Salem NY who by now has almost certainly moved to retirement or is no longer with us. It was a great experience my several meetings with this gentleman. And like I posted , his wife backed up his statements. One hatchback - over 1 million miles and he said up to 450k still had all original components associated with the engine. He would not allow me to contact Subaru on his behalf. He was not a Subaru fanatic only. He had a few vehicles of much interest. I hope he is still going strong. I've had a few thoughts about the guy recently. Usually that means I'll see his obituary or sometimes I run into that person. He's got to in his 90's now. Hope you enjoy the read. Absolutely not a speck of BS in there. Cheers !!

That was the phone. They bite too.

Pardon my ignorance but you didn't have one in the brat already to follow? Or to measure one against the other? Understandable if that's the case. Things happen. Hopefully you got a good one as many aftermarket cables just bite. I think TSK is the brand Fuji used on our Subarus. Anyhow .... The sling hanger to me is very important. Rather than go through the whole deal I'll just tell you I'm pretty sure we need the cable going over the steering shaft and not under. That's the typically confusing part. And to me the sling hanger verifies that necessity. Pedal end has a small bracket that holds the cable. Take that off , hang the cable slug in the pedal end , and with keeping a little tension as to not lose the slug from the pedal , get that retainer bracket over the provided rubber cable bushing and the bracket should look snug with a lip of the rubber cable bushing showing on each side of the bracket. Once on go through the routing in reverse. Double check the bracket , slug , cable through firewall grommet (free passage and good seal so not cold breeze on toes) , then hang the sling - spring goes up to a thin sheet metal bracket , then adjust the throw.

No , sorry. Caulk might work if you keep it shut. Using the rubber tape around the rim allows for normal operation. Let us know what you use and how it worked out. Subaru sunroofs are a bit notorious with a little age to them.

Around here those type of guys are popping up more and more. Used to be just a couple in CT now there's at least 8. Checking Craigslist might not hurt too. That's where I see a few here. Stick with the dealer parts though. Shop subarupartsforyou.com or others.

I found that making a perimeter seal solved leak. I used 3M rubberized tape , sorry I don't have the product model number. There are only a few sources of sunroof leaks. We were getting just enough leakage to soak the ceiling liner in that area and were also getting damp front carpeting. Inherited this from the previous owner - friends mom - so first thing I did was check the drain holes and read about possible causes.

Didn't get to those yet. I saw them there but just didn't have enough time to take them out and strip them down.

Earl , shooting for having your seats in motion this weekend. Have to finally make things happen. Anybody local that thinks they might want to stop up and help and shop for parts is welcome. I'll be spending much of daylight as I can both days. Sunday I wrap up around 2:00pm the latest.

Yeah , the EA71 and EJ22 like the original poster said. The core of "Inexpensive and Built To Stay That Way". Cheers !

I do know I have both complete trailing arms from something 4wd late 70's and they are up front in my storage. I wanted to get a brake adjuster but the studs snapped.

I will check for you in the daytime tomorrow. They are going to be hard to find soon unless they are the same thru the next generation. Even still I know here in the rust zone they're all gone.

Crap , did I forget ?? Just too busy then too burnt out from being too busy..... And yeah , EA71 and EJ22 F the rest. Lol Cheers Hey , wow for the weather!!! Got a snow storm/blizzard thing , had a blast in the old 78 - see post in 90's forum , but it's looking like might be time for early spring. Much to do there at storage. I see Brat jump seats selling at decent numbers ,,,, ship Earl's Coupe seats , sell stuff like mad .... The usual dreams. Lol Todd , maybe tonight on my shift.

You can cut the housing on the ea81's -

I'm in need of a solid vintage ride. We'll have to talk soon. I might go with Brian's tailgate after all but lots to get settled here too. Focus - yes , focus.

Gotta be a real man to drive the old schooler!!! Lol Any candy tushy can drive a car they make today.

Yes , and they sit right near the front. You're going to see them this year , this spring , or this winter..... Have the rear upper and lower and the passenger front. They'll go Greyhound. I'll ship , you can pay when you get them. Earl my brother , I just had to pass on Brian from MT's tailgate wagons. But please keep an eye open for me for one or an early coupe or stage one 4wd wagon over the coming year(s). My son is likely going to college out west so you will eventually see me out there and I'm sure I'm dragging something back east. Cheers ! And happy frikkin new year !!

Indeed !!! Happy new year!

1100's and 1300's getting just about impossible to find. I hope somebody takes you up on the offer but I doubt there's anybody here that will. Several of us here have come across old dealer stock and there's often old 1100 and 1300 bits. Always wanted to rebuild one. I'm pretty sure one or maybe two engines are still in ctsuba's old stock but I'm not sure what's going to happen with the guy who took over his stuff after he died last year. The 1300 boxer was once explained by scientist type dudes to be the most efficient gas engine that could be produced! And they had barely any issues from overheating and head warp like the 1400 did because they removed too much material when boring to 1400 spec. An interesting and viable piece of Subaru history. Probably will go to scrap but so it goes. Good luck on the new engine. And hell yeah post pics ! Roosting ! Lol
