Thanks, but the props go to Subi81. I was just trying to duplicate his nice clean install after seeing the pics he posted. I spent the majority of my time for this project making a template out of cardstock. I think thats the key. I cut the mounting plate out of a rear cubbyhole door I pulled from a junkyard wagon so the color would match. Then I cleaned up the cuts on my neighbor's disc/belt sander to get the edges nice and straight and beveled so it fits fairly nice.

Yeah John, let's not go on about how our original deal was for a rust free trail rig with a 5 speed D/R tranny swap, ready to rock. Or how when you delivered it, it didn't have a 5 speed tranny or how the tires that you had on it rubbed or how the alt died on the drive home. Ready to rock... right. So this is what you call "a bit of rust", and this isn't the bad spot either. There is also cancer in the Drivers side rocker making it's way up to the lower door hinge. Yeah, we renegotiated the price because you didn't delilver the product we agreed upon. If I had let you "keep it on the trailer and bring it back home to sell" I would be here trying to get the 1200$ I fronted you in good faith instead of a title. In trying to get the title, I sent you a self addressed stamped envelope because the mysteries and complexities of the U.S. Post office seem to be to much for you, but still nothing. I won't hold my breath. You, Sir, are worthless. I didn't "jew" you down or out of anything. Take your racial slurs, and shove them up your a$$.

+1 for the cubby!

I don't believe anyone is "talking smack" or "moaning" about John's knowlege of subarus or the the quality of his work/products. In my opinion the only way to deal with john is in person on a cash and carry basis. His word or promise is not to be trusted. Many people have found this out the hard/expensive way, myself included.

He owes me a title to a Brat I bought from him more than a year ago.

I added it to my '86 and still had to fish the harness through the rear gate and down to a connection near the taillight. It would have been a pain to run all that stuff up to the dash and find power for it. In '89 I think the feature was incorporated into the central locking system of the gl-10's. You could pull all that stuff from a donor and add power windows while your at it. Lots a work. If your just after the rear gate, you might look into a cheap alarm system with remote locking/unlocking. There is some stuff on ebay to be had for little money.

I bought a set of rims with tires for my '86 EA-82 and ran them fine for 6 months. Then I did a brake job with new pads and all of a sudden the rims hit the calipers. Turns out I had ea-81 rims, they cleared because my pads were worn and thin. Any chance the '86 sedan was running EA-81 rims?

That idiot light is useless in my opinion. I ended up tapping the hole in the oil pump for the sending unit with a 1/8 NPT tap and installed a mechanical oil pressure guage. Gives lots more feedback as to what's going on with the engine.

Bummer guy, rust sucks. :-\ Hopefully this will inspire you. There is hope, check out page three. http://members.cardomain.com/bratboy This guy's board name is Akira if you want to ask him questions directly. By the way, Jerry hooked me up with my rather large cancer issues. Jerry Rocks!

SCHWEET!

Hey John, How about sending me the title for the brat I paid for over 4 months ago?

Or you could build your own. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=17327

Being an '83 you've got an EA-81 car. The rack on Ebay is for a EA-82. It won't bolt up. Where is it leaking from?
