  1. A local company makes carpets for these, friend of mine has his done in his 88 GL Wagon but it was pricey around $200.
  2. Well I just have a carpet I pulled from a GL thats so so. Will some rubber undercoating stick to the bottom of it?
  3. They are quite nice! Any tips to bring them back to life?
  4. I just picked up an 86 GL10 with some wheels on it. Id like to know if they are stock or not. They say Subaru in the center and have a bunch of silver dollar size round holes in them lol:)
  5. Absolutely the tape is just being your mold so you can at least get a little shape to it. After the fiberglass dries I removed my tape entirely but you can just leave it if you like, it serves no purpose other than to support it while it hardens. BTW Caramanos is a Greek last name, pure coinsidence I also live in Puerto Ricoooo I can post some pics of my finished repair and materials if you like
  6. Hey man I just rebuilt the floor on the trunk of my dads GL with Fiberglass. its really easy to work with just follow the directions. I had the same problem you did with a supuersized whole with no good support but I did this and its solid as a rock now Bought a Fiberglass Repair kit from Autozone $19.99 Used Aluminum Tape for Ducting $8 Sheet metal screws $3 Fiberglass drywall joint roll $5 I built an inner support like a mold with the tape on the trunk so the fiberglass would have something to hold its shape while it dries. I did 3 layers of fiberglass over the foil tape and to give it more strength I used the fiberglass joint roll because its really thick. I laid one layer of fiberglass mat down, then one of the joint stuff and then a final layer of mat. After it cured for 3 hours and was solid I held it in place even more with some sheet metal screws along the edges:grin: Quick tip- The woven mat is much easier to work with than the strand mat. USE GLOVES! After I was done I sprayed some rubber undercoating over it and good as new. Still need to paint the edges white again:) If you can reach the opposite side of your repair you can use some screws with a locking nut on the other side.
  7. Well in his guide it shows big before and after results:)
  8. Is this relay mod really worth it? I mean is the difference as much as is seen in the pics? Figure I can do this while I do Loyales swap of interior relays. Do relays come in six packs?
  9. Some MMO, seafoam, premium gas, new air filter and some maf cleaner
  10. Not yet, tomorow I give it a rough wetsand with 800 and keep on going with painting at the end it will be wetsanded at 1500, 2000 and then buffed.
  11. Well its kinda cool I guess, you can drive and roast marshmallows at the same time
  12. Lenses are clean and grounding kit is installed. However my alternator is crap at idle all my lights dim like crazy.. Should I swap the alternator or the relays first? How much would a shop charge me to change out the relays? What kind of shop does it have to be?
  13. I have gained quite a few mpg by doing the following: Swapped Auto to 5 spd Over inflated tires by 1-2psi 2" exhaust with cherry bomb use MMO in fuel and in oil replaced pcv replaced air filter Seafoamed the engine cleaned all the intake tubbing replaced o2 sensor Use ngk plugs or Autozone +4 plugs Installed MSD Blaster 2 coil
  14. The $70 HID kits are universal, 1yr warranty and I can choose the color temp. Please elaborate, you have my attention. I was planning on GD alternator swap
  15. Y purchased a Kyo set 100/80W with a temp of 4,500k, they were only $16 shipped so we will see. I will post pics of these verus the sylvania I have.
  16. This is the thing for meee Simple and no dimming lights at idle. I have no fancy lighting or stereo should I still upgrade my wiring?
  17. Im going to be removing the rear tail lights on my GL wagon and was wondering if there was anything I need to look out for? Are they held on by that black gooey stuff? Were do I get this stuff to re-seal them when I put them back on?
  18. The silverstar ultras are $50 and a HID kit bought locally is $70, what do you guys think?
  19. Im looking into a local 1990 Legacy Wagon with 114k and a 5spd with a new clutch. Is this car AWD? I know how to find out once its infront of me lol Im just wondering if it came with AWD or not. Hes asking $2,000 in mint condition.
