  1. Thanks for the link to the original post. I'm glad to get the skinny on where this car came from and what the situation was before you got it. Needless to say I'm still very interested. I'll try calling you tomorrow evening to talk logistics of the sale.

  2. No rust issues. It's an Oregon car - we don't experience rust here. They don't have the salt mine resources to use salt on the roads... It doesn't have a sunroof but I could have one installed for you. And anything else you might like for that matter. I have a partnership with a body shop that does amazing custom work, etc.

     

    I'll snap some pictures of it currently but there are some from the previous post when it was for sale:

    I'll get started on putting the finishing touches on the wiring I need to do. I pulled out it's OBD-I harness that was hacked and very poorly done and replaced it with a '95 OBD-II manual transmission harness and manifold that I prepped myself. I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to mechanical and electrical and the way it was done was completely unacceptable.

  3. Excellent! This sounds like it may be just the car I have been seeking. The minor body damage and mechanical issues are no big deal to me. I am hoping to get a car with no rust issues, especially in the sub-frame. If you have pics, please send them to jonathan d hart at hotmail dot com. One question, does it have a sunroof? Not a deal breaker if not, just curious. The price you are asking is very fair. I have been watching this board for just over 8 years now and I appreciate just what this car is. Provided it does not have rust issues, consider it sold!

     

    Thanks,

  4. Yes I do have an '85 GL-10 wagon that's very clean and EJ22 swapped already. It's white with nicely tinted windows, etc. It's also got the rare red velour interior (the "pimp" interior) as well as a working digi-dash, etc. It was originally a 2WD 5 speed car but has been converted to 4WD 5 speed with dual-range.

     

    It's running a '95 EJ22 with OBD-II. The engine has 95k miles on it and runs great. It was resealed and dressed with timing belts, etc when it was installed.

     

    I have some wiring to do yet but it's almost ready for sale.

     

    It has some parking dings and the front drivers corner could use a little work on the fender and hood or they could easily be swapped out for stock white replacements or repaired.

  5. I'm likely going to ask $3k for it. It's quite nice and will make a great reliable car for many years. There's some things that it could use like struts and some rear disc brakes, etc but overall it's a really clean platform to start with and you don't find these GL-10's with the red interior - let alone EJ swapped.

     

    Let me know if you want pictures, etc. My number is 5o3-88o-4o84

  6. Hello,

     

    I am looking for an EA82 wagon with a clean body to keep and drive forever. My plan is to do the EJ22 swap at some point and keep it looking and running good for the rest of my days. These wagons have been very good to me over the last 10 years and I am quite in love with them.

     

    92 rugby subie mentioned you might have a clean gl-10 that has already been through the EJ swap. Is this car something you would sell? How much would you want for it?

     

    Many thanks!

  7. Sent you an email about those parts, also included my phone number. That's the best way to reach me. Many thanks!

  8. Hey, so since your new and haven't posted i can't send you a PM, i got the hinges, struts for trunk (were good and held it up) and also found a right side corner light. Email me and i can send you pictures etc. shortysayhi@yahoo.com - Martin

  9. I have a 1992 loyale that also suffered from "mysterious" coolant lose. The original owner sold it to me dirt cheap because someone told him it was the common subaru head gasket failure problem. It compression tested great, ran strong and seemed fine except needing coolant top-offs on a reguilar basis. Turns out the problem was a very small leak in one of the little coolant bypass hoses in the back of the engine. It was leaking so slowly that it evaporated right there on top of the engine instead of leaking onto the ground. A coupel dollars worth of hose and some new clamps fixed the problem. That was 22,000 miles ago and no further coolant has been lost. I hope you are as lucky as I was. It's worth checking, at least!
