Cool! Hey whatever works!!

They don't list them but the guy I got them from used the listed rockers on an 83 GL wagon. He said the only part was the last few inches didn't fit perfect, But you can easily make them fit and get them to seal right and look right.

That's what I figured, thanks!

I was just given this web site, thought you guys would like to see it, if you hadn't already. http://www.rustrepair.com/repair_panels/onlinecat.htm?r=ru&p=sm-subaru

Hey you're in the land of rust free suby's!! You should be able to find something

I just thought maybe you would want to see this, I saw it on craigslist http://nh.craigslist.org/cto/1054749975.html

I had a friend who hooked up a 2 axle car trailer to his 86 GL EA82 wagon, and then loaded up a Brat and drove it approximately 50 miles. It did just fine, except for hills, he was glad to have lo range:lol:

So I just talked to the guy I bought it from and I won't be getting it until tomorrow. He is trying to get another car on the road before he can give me this one, yeah bad planning, but oh well. So I will try to get pics tomorrow if it's not too dark or I will get them on Monday!

So just a little over 5". Thanks!

ok thanks. So sorry for so many questions but, I have some 1/4" thick pieces of steel that measure like 1" wide, would those work? They don't need any cross bracing or anything? Thanks again, I'm just not familiar with doing it this way, but this would be much easier than the way I have always done it.

So I can just use two separate pieces of steel on each side? I just thought that wouldn't be enough.

roll bar type thingy

Oh I know all about rust!! Unfortunately! Just try to get as much rust off before laying any filler down. It will just keep eating away under the filler:-\ But good luck with it, I have done lots of these jobs and really hate it! If possible, any real holes, definitely weld patches in, they will last much longer!!

Good luck!!! Are there any actual holes?

I was going off of what he sjr has on his web site. He has one plate per side, and it's bent to fit. Here's a pic

bad reception? That would be my guess. If the FM works, I don;t think it's anything to do with the stereo, so I would guess you just aren't getting signal

anyone?

yeah that's what I plan on doing. Thanks again! I also need to know the distance between the two mount bolts on the top, the 17mm ones. Thanks

no kidding! So the rubber plug that goes into the tranny doesn't have a hole in it? That's weird! Is this your car or one you're working on? Maybe take the dash out a little to see if the speedo cable is floating around behind the dash?:confused:I dunno

I was wondering if someone knew, or could find out, how far apart the mounting bolts are on the top mounts of the rear struts. Thanks!!

yes there should be a cable. Is it maybe flopping around in there?

alright, I just looked and he does have the 4" lift plates. So I get the 15* part, but how far out is that offset? Is there a chance you could measure it for me? Thanks again

okay, do you by chance have a pic of this plate? I don't think he has them on his sight anymore. I'll take a look again. Thanks!

This is the pic I'm talking about, it looks like you have to remove the plate off the top of the strut add in the block and then reattach the mounting plate. I thought of you took the mounting plate off the top of the strut, that would allow the spring to release. Is this not the case? Thanks for the help!!

Looks great!! I like the bumper, it looks a little like mine:grin: Great job with it, that thing is gonna be mean!!! Quite the approach angle as well:banana:
