+1 on the routing , very important - had the same issue on my 1st attempt +1 on the lube also , makes a big difference . good luck , all the best , Murph

Man , you really have a way with cars and cameras , that wagon is very nice and you catch some great angles . Great eye for whats cool ! all the best , Murph

i saw a tranporter go by my jobsite today , looked for your brat - not on that one ! i wish you all the best with your new toy . do you see any older subaru's around west palm ?

why did they run over the alien ?

very cool ! hope it works out well for you . where is greenacres fl ? i'm in pt. charlotte southwest - little south of sarasota

you are doing what i wish i could do to my xt6 , i'll be watching this thread closely , best of luck with the swap . i love to shift , i drive my 81 gl wagon for that reason , more than my 88xt6 . all the best , murph

very cool , good luck with it . will probably rust to pieces before that motor quits. make sure you keep some oil on the dipstick ! i kinda liked the eddy van halen guitar paint job on the front end . all the best , murph

:wow that is beautiful eek::slobber::slobber::slobber::slobber:

i've had an axle nut come loose before on my 81 gl wagon , turned out to be a combination of a stripped out nut - and a poorly re- manufactured axle from discount auto . i don't go there anymore for important parts - check the threads and nut real good

hope those seats can work out for you , my xt has really nice seats - good for distance driveing . i am all too familiar with Murphy's Law . i live it everyday all the best , murph ( paul j. murphy )

oh yeah , sweet looking ride summer is the best time of year !

i have no idea about your seat question , just curious why your wagons' refered to as murphy ? all the best , murph

welcome to the usmb , lots of really cool people here and plenty of knowledge for sure . all the best , murph . not real hip on the performance stuff , just happy to keep my subies running down the road .

:headbang:welcome - welcome - welcome , lot's of cool people in here , plenty of great info and tons of experience ! best of luck with the legacy , murph

so ....it is a 5 speed ? mine is an automatic - lots of fun to drive - but i really like to shift myself ! let me know what u find on the rust , hope it's not too bad . no matter what you should do ok on your investment ! keep me informed please , thanks , murph

did u say it's a 5 speed ? uuuummmm , where did u say this car was ? yeah , probabley not what your looking for . maybe a nice wagon or hatchback ! keep looking - lots of good deals out there . where did u say that xt6 was ? just a thought . cheers , murph

wow , just found this thread - you really get into your restorations ! beautiful work man , looking forward to more updates and pictures . love those older subaru's - best of luck in the new year ! cheers murph

uuuuummmmmmmmm , yeah ......... i'm pretty sure that they make chainsaws for takeing down trees , subarus are for driveing from place to place . not that you can't have fun with your subaru , but ..... you might want to rethink the vehicle abuse thing , hope thats not your daily driver !

whats up tampa ? i'm just a little south of you in pt. charlotte ! good luck finding subaru stuff around these parts , not too much in the junk yards around me . from what i've seen there is some unique fabrication involved to put a subaru motor in a vw - good luck , happy new year ! cheers murph

with the right attitude - knowhow - and of course money ... anything is "fixable" . try to think of this as an oppertunity to modify / customize ! good luck , hope you can bring it back to life !

best of luck with the new subaru , ...and in the new 2010 year ! cheers murph

greetings from sunny florida ! what year is your xt6 ? any pictures available ?is that springfield , mo ? i used to kick around those parts years ago ! welcome to the usmb , lots of real cool folks in here who can answer just about anything you can come up with . cheers , happy new year ! murph

please PM me when the "parting out" begins , i'm still looking for a few things for my 88 xt6 , thanks so much , murph

i have one in my garage , someday it will make it into my 81 gl wagon ...125 ?

i had high oil pressure one time because the wire from the sending unit grounded itself out on the crankshft pully ( i didn't route it properly ) i know now the sending unit wire grounded out will max out the gauge . maybe this info will help you ? good luck , happy holidays ! murph
