My '83 GL: The Ski Wagon
That might be an idea. I'm not 100% sure as to everything I need, I'm just kinda swapping as I go. Pretty much any bolt that doesn't take serious load, is getting replaced with Stainless. I've always been told Stainless has a lower fatigue rating, but the Know all Hardware guy who owns our local Ace, says it is stronger then standard steel bolts. I trust this guy, he has been in Hardware for 50+ years. My family has been going to him since the 1960s and has never steered us wrong. So does stainless have a lower load/stress rating? There does seem to be mixed views on this. Jboymechanic told me it was weaker, yet his dad told me it was stronger, and now the Art Olson at Ace said the same. Hmmm.

My '83 GL: The Ski Wagon
I got the fuel tank almost full hooked up, I just need a few more hose clamps and to run the rest of the line into the cabin and connect it. I already connected the Vapor line, next will be the Return and Feeder line. And then see if it starts and does not leak!

My '92 Landcruiser: Safariwagon-II
The '93 will have the 1FZ 4.5L and better milage along with the AF442 transmission (aka Bus Transmission), you can swap rear discs onto them as well, which is what I'm gonna do in time. The '93 does not have High pinion axles, unlike mine which does. Personally, I think the Landcruiser drives better then my EA82. Sure brakes better even with the 33s. Its also so much nicer to drive and has more power, just wish it got better then 10mpg I personally am not a fan of the 1FZ-FE 4.5 motor, they tend to Blow HGs a lot, and they have more BS on them. The 3F-E 4.0 is simpler (Even being 80s EFI) the motor is bullet proof, it will out last the entire truck (Much like an EA81) The AF440 transmission is very forgiving and long lasting, it is only a 4spd with no overdrive. The '92 will have 4.10 gears and will run at 2000rpm at 70mph and has no trouble getting there nor staying there. If you aren't afraid of Fuel costs, the Landcruiser is a must own truck. I absolutely love it. Check out ih8mud.com and read up on the 80-series, pros/cons and what to look for.

4x4 Swap Q's
As for the hole question, it should be just fine, unless there is another stamping there which you can knock out. "Subarus are like Legos, you can build them any way you want"

Jackmans wheels (not the Subaru made wagon wheels)
Why nobody ever looks at the Subarus of the 80's page is beyond me. So much useful info on there. Sure helped me when I first joined.

85 wagon resto/build
Good stuff. Permatex also makes a very good rust treatment/reformer. Probably the best I've used and is only $4-5 each. You brush it on, it is a white paste. Drys clear and tubes rust black and smooth (Solid as well) It seals up rest awesomely. I used it on the rear tube and every where on the EA82 and the EA81. You're doing a good job so far!

Thats how I always do it, simple means. It does indeed take forever lol. Try de-rusting your suspension tube that way

Those wheel wells look great! Please tell me you did remove any rust in them before coating it with Undercoating? If not, the Undecoating will hold moister and the rust will continue behind it (Which is also the down fall of the Factory/dealer applied undercoating) Nice EA81 emblem!- What Have You Done to your Soobie lately?

tjani, I've been looking for a set of those Corner lights with the bumped out Amber lens. What do you think shipping would run on a set of those to the U.S? -Tom JesZek has been on the search for those for I and him self- SE WI, Milwaukee Regional/Subaru Alliance
I noticed that it looks just like the shop press, why change a working design was probably their thought on Manufacture savings ect.- SE WI, Milwaukee Regional/Subaru Alliance
Does it stand on the floor? Or do I need to bolt it to something?- SE WI, Milwaukee Regional/Subaru Alliance
Cool, I'll get that one!- SE WI, Milwaukee Regional/Subaru Alliance
What is the opinion of this 12ton Hydro tube bender? It comes with 8 dies and can bend from 1/2" to 3" tubing. This is a pretty decent price I think. I think the 12ton would do for making a header, eh? http://www.ebay.com/itm/12-Ton-Hydraulic-Pipe-And-Tube-Bender-Exhaust-Pipes-/320791172370?pt=BI_Pipe_Benders&hash=item4ab0a4d512#ht_2406wt_1173- SE WI, Milwaukee Regional/Subaru Alliance
So, I didn't find much on youtube of the Duel exhaust, Most of it shows the Duel pipe muffler on WRXs? Whatever the point of that it. Although, I found this car. Sounds nice.- SE WI, Milwaukee Regional/Subaru Alliance
Perrin is a pretty large well known Aftermarket supplier for the Impreza crowd. I will check out some videos of the Dual pipes.- SE WI, Milwaukee Regional/Subaru Alliance
And the chances of finding a video of this is slim I bet? Is this something that was conjured up in a garage in IN? It probably does sound cool, I have no idea though! - The Awesome Older Generation Picture Thread
