Rain coming and I need to be heading home around noon. So if you are thinking of driving up please make sure you can be here by 11:30 , thanks !

Morning affair. Rain coming. A few drops now but should be ok until the afternoon. If you think you won't get here until after 11:30 please don't bother. Again , sorry for the short notice. I'll try to do another day like this in August or September. And give more notice.

Thanks Earl ! Hey Earl , attacking storage in the morning. Will gather those seats you desire. Cheers !!

Sorry for the short notice. Check the Historic Forum for details! Dedicated to Ed Rachner ! I've got 70's stuff to unload. Super deals in Ed's memory.

Vintage Northeast folks: My apologies for the extremely short notice. Raiding the Tomb in the morning. Vintage stuff galore. No time to list things right now but there's lots of 70's stuff. Engines , trannies , fenders , wheels , parts upon parts. Some NOS too. Exit 35 off I-95 in either direction. Rowe Ave. just alongside the highway. Off the exit just a couple hundred yards! Super easy , it's the CubeSmart storage joint. Pull in and BEEP the horn and I'm just a few feet away around the corner from you. I'll come out and let you in. Sorry , life is busy. You know the deal. Cheers!! And , there'll be three board members there for socializing. Three !!! Impressive for the East. LOL !! Ciao !

Be sure to re-read my post way up top. You most definitely want (need) to lift that cowl out and clean and inspect the firewall down where you're going to pull crap out from. But overall , like I said just above , you really are more lucky than you think. Couple of spots - yes get them ASAP - but just looking at the wheels and engine bay tells me it's mighty solid with very little exception by Rust Zone Standards. Guys out your way might think that rot is horrendous and beyond workable. But we know otherwise. That guys beer gut is a thing of beauty! Lol I'm going to start doing sit ups and crunches so I don't end up a strong resemblance ! Lol Have fun with your dad! And enjoy! Don't let any dark spots spoil the project. You're going to have a fine Brat when you're done. Cheers!

Great base to work from! Enjoy !!!

Time is the hardest part but let's see who's interested and where you're coming from. Our usual place if on Rt.206 in Atsion NJ. There is a ranger station with huge grassy area to meet at and worship under hoods etc..... Then light to medium trail riding. Do a google search and you'll see the vast area of wilderness. We hit several areas mostly sandy trails but some water. But !!!! If you guys have a spot up north please let us in on it. Early August ?

I don't want to speak for the handler but from the previous orders the new price is even better. USA residents should expect to pay under $60 shipped. Last ones on eBay were old old stock and over $60 before shipping. These install fairly easy. Write up in archives to assist you.

Who was it that I have the PRP contact to who called them? I'm wondering if you'd like to handle the order , or maybe Subaru3 but I know he's super busy lately. Ok so regardless of who handles this lets get a count going of gaskets you would actually want and pay for. I'm positive you will get the freshest gasket made and that it'll be affordable. I'd be willing to take one for now. If it's close but still needing a push I'll add one more. These windshield gaskets fit sedans , hardtops , wagons , and Brats perfectly. They will fit the Coupe with a little effort in the upper ears (corners) so says our man Subaru3 and he's always dead on!

Sorry guys , three no's there. I did ship to Aussie , but I'm hoping to have someone else manage this lot. I'd say it's around $40USD or so for a couple of gaskets but please check that as I'm not sure and I know it's gone up the last few years. Only the windshield gasket for our cars. No other items are stocked nor were they ever apparently. We need and in NEED to get someone lined up for those. Same for rear of Brat or anything else we can think of. I'm still hoping for bushing/mounts etc in urethane. Some folks have back yarded those with good results. Anyways .... Pretty soon we will have the windshield gaskets request post to see where we are at for numbers.

We'll have to line someone up with PRP who wants to handle the deal. Thanks !

Does that have the four spoke steering wheel? Have interior pics?

Commie , shame on you. Look over an old brochure online. The entire line has the hood louvers and wagons have the rear "gills". Stage 2 1977 thru 79 Deduct three points. No gold star today! Lol

I'm not promising , but based on the info I got I can't see it being over $50 for most of us.

Show me your repairs or share your thoughts on this nagging issue. For those clueless , our pedal boxes are notorious for tears in the flimsy sheet metal resulting in loss of clutch operation. Thanks for your constructive contribution.

The previous Windshield Gasket Group Buy related posts ? Please ? I'm thinking it's time to get the next order going. Let's please clean house so there's no confusion. Several requests for windshield gaskets and recent sales of restored or restorable 73-79's and Gen I Brats have certainly warranted another order. Anyone else want to handle it? One member recently inquired and got a nicer price than previous !!! Should cost the end user less than $50 shipped for sure!! Hard to believe in 2014 ! It's an effort , I've done it twice. But it is over before you know it and all equals out.

Welcome ! Good to see the Vintage bug hitting another east coast resident. DC area is going to be tough but don't give up. Research your oldest dealers and make the rounds as you can , talking with the ELDER service and parts guys. They may offer little clues but you're likely to score a lead on parts or parts cars , or find out what small shop or dealer tech on the side is available to you. Meanwhile , good luck and we're here with parts and help.

What a truely excellent person! Godspeed Ed ! Our condolences to you Qman and of course his family and all of you who had the pleasure to actually be in his company. Another of the very wonderful people from this Board that often was there to help. I feel we should dedicate a moment to Ed in some way. Maybe next chance you get you take your Subaru out over some dirt and sling a healthy roost into the air for our MAN , Ed !

Shame on you , Jim. You're too 360'd out , you've forgotten our Historic Forum here .... LOL Hope all is well. Would be great to run into you at Perkins one day with our dinosaur Subarus. Oh , and there's Caffeine and Carbs in New Canaan http://caffeineandcarburetors.com/ starts back up in September. Might be the last call for this very special meet. Hope to see you there. Enjoy !! Cheers! Paul

Lol I've been synchro shifting my 78 for almost a year now. Unfortunately a cable of any sort won't help because it's the pedal box that's the problem. We once got a gen one brat back like a 3 hour drive or more by somehow using a brake cable I rigged up for the clutch. Not sure what vehicle the donor cable came from.

What if there's snow ?

Bridgeport CT here Enjoy!

Could you please post pictures here? Mostly want to see the rust. Thanks!

One eBay seller has tranny gasket/seal kits. I think it is "svauto" who has them. Maybe you can find them individually too but my guess would be like the previous poster's.
