  1. One more clutch cable possibility , I was given a 82 wagon a few years ago , because after installing a new clutch and cable , the guy forgot to reconnect a ground wire from the body to the motor . VIP ! the car used the clutch cable as a ground - it melted and started a fire that did enough damage to send it to the scrap yard , after i grabbed a few parts . Anybody ever heard of this before ? thanks , all the best , Murph
  2. My 2 cents - I wouldn't suggest a used windshield , I currently have two that are cracked , from age and the florida sun . The way I see it , it's just not worth the cost to put in a used one and have it crack on you after a short while .... go new !
  3. Hey Miles , was that you calling on Coast to Coast (the late night radio program ) i thought that sounded like i imagine you sound like ? or have i heard you speak on one of your video's ? probably... just curious ? all the best , Murph

  4. +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
  5. 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
  6. 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 ?
  7. why did they run over the alien ?
  8. very cool ! hope it works out well for you . where is greenacres fl ? i'm in pt. charlotte southwest - little south of sarasota
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. :wow that is beautiful eek::slobber::slobber::slobber::slobber:
  12. 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
  13. 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 )
  14. oh yeah , sweet looking ride summer is the best time of year !
  15. i have no idea about your seat question , just curious why your wagons' refered to as murphy ? all the best , murph

  17. :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
  18. 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
  19. welcome to usmb , i am originally from buffalo , still lots of family there - freezeing their butts off . stay warm , happy new year , cheers , murph

  20. 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
  21. 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
  22. 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 !
  23. the smiley on the horse cracks me up everytime i see it ! too funny ! thanks , happy new year , murph

  24. 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
  25. 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 !
