Rust

Nice video, my 78 coupe has it's mirrors mounted on the doors(u.s. export). Looks funky with the mirrors on the fenders. Definitely should have trashed the sedan instead, or better yet pushed a 78 ford pinto down the hill.

thanxs for the advice, I was hoping the trans. wasn't toast. Next break in the cold weather I'll tear into it to get my green machine back on the road.

Painting the engine block will not allow the metal to breathe, and increase heat.

Took my new(to me) 93 loyale 4wd on it's first voyage yesterday. Stopped to get some windshield fluid and didn't latch down the hood all the way. Got up to 55 on the highway and WHAMO. Luckily my windshield didn't crack, the hood is toast. My own stupidity and the cold are to blame.

1986GL fwd. Only the drivers side CV is engaging in any gear. The haynes book doesn't cover a trans teardown. Is there a fix, or do I need to replace the whole trans. The trans is an automatic 3 speed. Any suggestions appreciated:-\

It depends on the store you go to. I recently bought 2 cv shafts at Advance. I had to pre-pay plus core charges. When the parts came in they were the wrong size. Took me a half hour of explaining and showing them the old axle shaft compared to the new one before they refunded my money. Then they forgot to refund me the core charge, so I had to go back a second time. They all along insisted that these were the shafts for my 86GL, even when I showed them my old ones that wete an 2 inches longer. Ended up going to auto-zone, they had the correct part in stock. Just remember "the customer is always right" if you are persistent.

Nice Ride! whoever becomes the new owner will be lucky.

Sweeeet! nice trailer hitch and light plug in on the rear.

Gen 1 stuff is hard to come by, snag it up!

I have a 5speed from a 91 Loyale, will this transmission fit in the stock mounts? Its from a 2 wheel drive wagon. The 79 is a 4wheel drive model. Other than cut/box the frame to make it wider, is there any other mods needed to fit an ea82, can I use the stock engine mounts in the 1979? Thanxs for the advice.

Thanxs for the replies. I have 2 EA82 motors, finding an EA71, or EA81 is very difficult. Finding the old loyale engines stuff 1985-1992(ea82) is cheap and plentiful, that is why I want to go with that swap. When you say EJ22 motor I assume you are referring to Legacy (I don't know the production years) So if I found an donor legacy that would be an easier swap? I want to use the car as a daily driver and upgrade it to a motor that I can get parts for easily(the extra horsepower would be a plus also). Thanxs for the help.

I have a 1979 4wheel drive wagon. I'd like to either swap just engines, or install the complete driveline from a loyale or gl/dl. Any resources on doing this swap?

have a 79 wagon EA79. Can I fit a EA82? Can I fit both engine EA82 and 5speed tranny from a loyale or GL/DL. ?
