This is pure cool!

Ok, what are these for? Passenger side front, main harness. I know there is a white one on the driver side for the Seal belt reciever, but I have no idea where these go (yet)

Sounds kinda James Bond(ish) :-p

So here is the joke. Do all 3 of these go on the outside of the kick panel? The last one, which is the black box with the Mitsubishi stamping on it, does not fit with the Hood release handel and the Power Window unit. Do I have something bass ackwards? With black box. Without black box. Also, if anyone knows off hand, do these look correct? The two bullet connectors on the right run off the main harness and into the rear driver door? Just want to double check, before I put power to anything.

Yeah, thats no joke. One its stuck, theres pretty much no going back on position. If you end up with creases, just basically have to work them in. Seems like it should work really well! Jon, remind me this weekend to stop by and give you your dough. Saturday would be best I guess, as Sunday I will be at Don Miller till 2pmish, then I might roll down to Janesville and help a guy out with his '95 Impreza. I got the carpet back in, I think I have it right. And I sure hope I plug everything in correctly. Whos idea was it to use Bullet connections for a factory wiring harness, dumb! But wait! I have something that is even more dumb, I will post a picture of it later.

Good lord, $50 to enter in the show! Boo! $15 tops.

-Don Miller Meet 2012- Where: McGaw Park - Fitchburg, WI When: June 10th 10am-2pm What: Meet/Greet, BBQ, Trophies, BYOB/BYOF Pictures of the Show will follow...!

Finished, and finished!

I think its bogus to pay admission to a car show. I don't dig that, why should I pay to look at some other persons car, which I could probably see in a parking lot But, if there is free food/drink, indeed that makes sense. Good luck at the show! Grab some pictures and post them somewhere EDIT: $20 isn't bad, really. The place looks really organized and awesome! Door prizes eh?

Yeah, Dyna-mat is like $130 I think, plus its thicker and more bulky. I think this stuff will work just right, its not the easiest thing to put in, and get it nice and uniformed, but I guess it doesn't matter since its under the carpet. What, huh? These cars are loud eh? Guess I can't tell anymore are 6yrs. Yeah, noises like to carry in these cars, arrg. The FJ80 is like driving a cream puff it is so quiet and smooth while coasting. Its still quieter at speed then the Subarus, Full-frame, and better sound deading layout I guess. For $30,000 it better be quiet!

Here is what the Color code tag would look like, if its still intact somewhere. #241 is Porcelain White (Just an example)

I hear you on bare metal. One of my rear door corners is just touching the rocker enough to scratch it down to bear metal. Gonna grind that edge down a little. You have more car shows in VT then we do! Damn you..

Jboymechanic ordered it for me from FatMat I suppose. it was $80 for 50sq.ft (Was just enough!) although I might have gone overboard with it a bit

Are you having anew carrier bearing installed as well, or is it good?

Laid down the rest of the La FatMat. I still have about 2ft. left.

Glad to see you have a thread going! As for the Paint code tag, its possible someone removed it (Its only a Foil sticker) As for finding the matching color, if I remember right, Subaru only used two different shades of blue in the 90s Loyale - 955 - Bermuda Blue Met. 280 - Ice Blue Met I personally think that it is Ice Blue Metallic, it seems to be the most popular color in of the blue 90s Loyale. Perhaps you can post a picture sometime As for the fiberglass, if you are gonna use fiber glass sheets with Fiberglass resin, you'll have better results with it sticking to semi-smooth surface. You can rough up the surface with some 60grit sandpaper which will help. -Tom

Haha indeed :-p Put the cargo interior back in. Seems the carpet has shrunk.. Hmm.

Wow, even has the Aluminum lower door panels/kick panels. Nice Brat WCSS "West Coast Subaru Show" not sure when it is, but its always huge! -Tom

Damn you! I was looking for a set of those visors for my '95 wagon when I had it. They are a PITA to find, at least for a wagon. I like them too! Now you got bling lights hommie

Thanks for posting about your car! Sounds like its still pretty intact and very able to be saved. You seem to have a pretty good picture of how to address the rusted areas. If you do have access to a welder (Just a plain old wirefeed arc welder) that would also make things easier. But rivets and sheet metal is a good way to fix small areas. You will want to find some 18ga metal sheets, Standard weldable steel, or even stainless, which will be a little more costly, but won't rust again in that area Fiberglass sheets and resin are a good way to seal it all up, but the Fiberglass won't last long if its only adhering to a smooth surface (Like a Fender or else where on the body) for the wheel wells it would work great because they are rough and the fiberglass has something to bite into. A good piece of advice is to cut out any of the rust, as it will only come back if you wire-wheel it and then treat it with a rust transformer (I found out the hard way) As for color matched paint, there should be a silver sticker tag on the driverside strut tower (Under the hood) or on the front of the radiator support where the hood latch is. It will have a Paint code number. If you take that paint number to any Auto paint supply shop, they can match it perfectly. Some can mix it into Areosol cans for easy use on touch-ups. I am thinking your paint number is either 955 - Bermuda Blue Met. 280 - Ice Blue Met. I am pretty sure I know the light blue you are talking about, I actually like that color. Also, you are welcome to ask any questions you might have, here. Cheers Jason, -Tom

I hear you on time, if I didn't have so much of it and at least minimum cash flow, I wouldn't have taken on this car. Probably still have the Legacy in all its TW glory. If ya want a hand with the Rockers when I'm down there, no sweat. We'll get it done. Only takes a few hours to cut off the old, and new, and then line'em up and spot them in a few places. The EA82 rockers I have would be interesting to try and use, 1982gl4 did it though, just is more tedious (Titties and rump roast)

Indeed, 80s 4-Runner had these as well, but are rare, much like the Tercel one. Which is why they are $150+ on ebay. I got this one for a great deal though. If you want to blow $250, find the JDM overhead unit for an FJ80, this has Altimeter in it and compass iirc! Again, another rear item that costs. Also, 80s Mitsubishi Pajero/Dodge Raider has an Inclinometer with Clock. But is a POS, the plastic gimbles shatter because its 25yr old plastic. The Toyota unit is much nicer, liquid filled I think, very smooth.

Sounds interesting Cheers! -Tom

FatMat! And I still have a ton!
