The third eye is in!!!!
75subie replied to REXSPEEDWORTHY's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
i started my third eye project today:D made a wiring harness from scratch, and after alot of wiring, i decided to use the stock center lamp switch, just to run lamp itself, and another toggle switch to open the door. so the wiring is all set, tommorow i am going to chop the rad support out, and bolt the cyclops in, then plug and play:D oh, anybody got an extra quad headlight gen 1 grill incase i mess it up cutting the hole for the cyclops:-p :-\ pics to come -
did you say yours was lowered by taking the front strut coil springs completly out, and cranking down the rear torsion bars all the way? i am thinking about lowering mine in the next couple days. today i did a little work on her, took off the bumpers, and straightened out a few things, but i hope to do a little more this week. i am wondering if it is worth switching out the standard ea71 for the higher compression ea71, or if i should just leave the standard motor in there and add the weber, ect., ect. also going to add a third eye, and keep the roof spoiler on it. man i have brat mod fever:clap:

i wonder if you could wet sand them, maybe with lik 550-650 grit sand paper? that way you could polish them afterwards, and it would cut down the scuffs. -
sweet rims! imagine if you had to find those center caps:eek:
-
that is a highly modified ea81 (engine) i`ve talked about it with Chas.

75subie replied to 75subie's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...

Rusty Jones is just a brand of undercoating they used in the 70s and 80s
-

brat ladder rack... anybody ever build one??
75subie replied to 75subie's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
thanks for the ideas! i might actually try bolting it together (yup, still don`t know how to weld:lol: ) 1" square tubing should be strong enough -
anybody ever build or consider building a ladder rack for a brat? any pics? i am considering making one, it would be pretty cool to have the extra space when picking up wood, or hauling a row boat. any ideas? i wonder what kind of metal to use, i guess square tubing would work. here is a quick pic of what i am thinking, exept it would be on a gen 2:brow:

Can't get my dash apart!!!
75subie replied to fastenova's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
yup, pull harder, mine was stuck too -
thanks alot GD, that makes me feel safe while driving my brat:lol: it was a quick fix, that works well. i guess i`ll try wiring it in somewhere else.
-
just wire a universal 12v fuel pump up so it is on constantly, thats what i did on my brat. once the fuel bowl fills, the pump stops pumping, then when it needs more fuel, it pumps in some more. i wired mine right up to the coil so it comes on when i turn the ignition.

Need help placing a value on my subie.
75subie replied to Singlecoil's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
thats probly the best route, take the insurance money, do a backyard fix, and drive it around with the salvage title. book on these old subarus usually isn`t high, the ebay market usually is though. book value on a brat in exellent shape is around $1500, but go on ebay and try to find a exellent brat for under 3800 or so:eek: i wish insurance companies went through ebay pricing:rolleyes:
