Sorry for lack of link. Check the Classic Subaru Network and scroll down and find my vintage Subaru items with easily loaded pics. Just a nudge at the board or the board vendor. I sure would like to just add my pics here and deal here. Meanwhile enjoy what we have!! I'm cleaning house like I've threatened to do for all too long. Made some shortened attempts , some more helpful than others , but this needs to be a major overhaul. And hopefully lots of solid sales. Cheers !!

Cranks by hand well enough. Yes the intake was soaked. Or at least the air cleaner filter was soaked. The car was tilted passenger side down , about mid door depth. The driver side was just barely in the water but enough. I'll post pics as I can.

Hey the dry out the cell phone post is over on Pintrest with a bunch of women. Lol But thanks. Rear diff I hadn't thought off. So um , you think this engine will run? It swallowed. I hand cranked it with the spark plugs out , that was cute. And drained the oil , hand cranking again. I'm letting it drip overnight. I put MMO in the spark holes before the second hand crank. Fuel tank may be an issue too. Somehow fuel leaked out into the water which was a large puddle about 2' deep or so. I don't have a garage and am doing this at my condo so it's really not cool to do major work. Regardless , tomorrow I need to drop the exhaust and drain it. I have the front Y pipes off the heads. Check the fuel tank and lines, rear diff, what else?

Yeah I see several already plucked on eBay. One that was a perfect match too. I'm going to be a knucklehead and try mine first. I'm counting on this being a parts car and anything I might get beyond that is a dream.

252378869938 is the item number for a regular guy like us selling one he can't use now. I had a bid on it but asked him to retract it. My daily has a good new set and our other '92 isn't too bad but from experience we know they all wear out. Heavier the key ring the faster they wear.

And I can't upload pics yet.

Its such a tight spot I'd need some special tiny iron. But yeah , that's parallel to idea number one above. Either use a wire to jump or solder that pin back down. But I'm thinking the base of the pin might have to be cleaned up a bit and that would be tricky.

That was thought number one on my end. I'll have to double check but i'm pretty sure there is a wire for this pin.

Sad to hear , but good for us to know. Thanks for posting the reason.

That is from the plug in side of the connector as if you were about to plug in the male connector. NOT looking at it from the inside of the unit outward. Third row up , sixth pin from the left. Thanks

Ok I'll get the funny part out of the way. My son got his car drunk in NJ. Car got yanked out, brought home, and dried out. All carpet and padding is gone. I took apart the ECU and it looked bad but I remained committed to an attempt at making it useable. After a toothbrush and water cleaning I used WD40 and dried it out. Looks really great with one exception. One of the pins corroded and broke off at the base where it comes up from the circuit board. I'll try to add a pic later if Shawn hooked me up on the photo gallery deal. But when looking at the connector from the pin side it's the 6th from the left and 3rd row up from the bottom. If you have a manual handy it should show which function that pin handles. Anyone ever dry one out and make it work again? I know one of our old group did that one weekend in NJ back around 2005 or earlier. Anyone ever fix a broken pin on an ECU? Thanks for any help.

There's one on eBay right now.

Minimum oreder was 50 for us.

I don't have anything like that for those 80's cars. PRP is Precision Replacement Parts. They work with those sweatshops in Thailand where the rubber comes from and you get some fresh stuff let me tell ya. Whoever receives the lot had better not mind rubber smell. Get yourselves a contact there. Our guy was Derek Churchyard who moved elsewhere within the company. The second guy I can't think of right now but all you REALLY NEED TO DO is call them and say you are an enthusiast group and want to purchase a bulk order. Ask them what's their minimum order and say "OK , we can do this". Of course , you might want to get a post going unless one or a few of you want to get 50 and retail. We've watched the Gen I Brat take off and you know the Gen II is just as desireable (hack,cough) so seriously, I don't see how you guys could go wrong. There's a few deep pocket guys here who could do it but you know they won't so get yourselves a good little group and do some math. Yours will be the freshest made and you can prove it. that deserves $75+ , screw the guy with the old stock for a few bucks less. Cost will be under $50 ea. I'm sure.

Couple related questions. Do those also fit the first gen legacy wagons? I have a 92 FWD and want to get KYB's when the time comes. And which place did you order from? I've used KYBOutlet.com since Subafreak turned me on to them. But I'm always willing to pay less if need be.

There's been Gen II windshield gaskets retailing consistently. You guys don't look hard enough. They've been as low as $62 or so a few years back. PRP should have Gen II in stock. They made our Gen I's awhile back. There is a fairly current thread on them over in Historic. Get a group purchase going thru PRP like we did and your gaskets will be more like $38-46 each.

Lime colored mountain goat ! ????

Hey whoever sees this - this is IT !!! This is THE YEAR that I MUST GET SERIOUS about my storage and selling off too much vintage stock If you're near NYC/Southern CT sure I'll let you help me. I've got a 10 x 25 unit with too much crap in the way on the sweet stuff. It takes me an hour at least by myself to get the aisle cleared out. Another strongback or two wouldn't hurt me. This weekend is shot. Next weekend after - May 7-8 I'm planning on being there. Contact me before just hopping in your ride and cruising over. PM here or moosens at yahoo and we'll exchange numbers there.

G-man !! I'll certainly have your list on site as I go thru the craziness. Off the top of the noggin - Yes on the fenders , maybe on the windshield , there was a sweet Stage I dash up here btween us but I think that may be locked in with ctsuba's stash - Estate issues there ......can't promise ...... bumpers we did have - Subafreak might have a set , if he doesn't let me know he saw this I'll bring it up to him. Mudflaps are a maybe , front valance - doubtful but you never know with my mess , side window seals- gotta think no initially but I do have a box of NOS rubber that was misc. from '69-79 so there IS A CHANCE ......let us pray. LOL Hope things are well for you my young brother ! Cheers!

Andrew here in CT drove that Brat in gold to our donor friend and said it was a very scary experience. Looks like it's sat over vegetation for years. If you guys grab those bolt on center caps from those wheels I'll take care of you. Probably should make a list and what I'll pay , will get that going before Friday.

I'm sure hoping when I unwrap my dashboards they are still uncracked. I should have a blue that was set aside for myself. But I was considering using a black interior I picked up in great shape. Not cheap ..... Sorry , these didn't just happen along and I've stored them at a cost. This weekend is shot but I'm attacking storage with a vengeance this year. Next weekend I'll get them out and shoot some fresh pics. Been so long but I think there are blue , black , and a saddle (tan).

Trish , I sent an email.

I know from my spare glass that they come loose. I always questioned that too , just not publicly. I'm guessing they were glued in although I don't recall seeing any glue residue.

Bump for a great cause via a legend.

Hey thanks for the timely bump ! Portland CT ? LOL , just kidding. Hey New England has lots of subie spec shops.... I don't think I have that but you never know. In fact , my low mileage complete units (springs to knuckle etc) are locked in a building I can't get to , long story , probate , estate issues..... But I'll see what comes up. Meanwhile , Hey NorthEast people of vintage 70's , time to make arrangements to stop by my storage and get stuff , help out , pretend to have fun too. Lol I DO HAVE: New fenders , 72-77 stage one and 77-79 stage two- brat to '81 you know the deal Some wheels Bumpers Seats Dashboards uncracked The vintage goodness you want. Try me. Bad weekends: April 30 - May 1 Will add more as light sheds
