Sure it's possible. Start reading, you have a lot of wiring to do EJ22 Swap Links

That sucks. I'm glad you walked away without being injured.

The RX front air dam and side skirts do fit the EA82/Loyale body. I have them on my 88 Wagon.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

I am glad this all ended well for you. Years ago I built the same FT 4WD 5MT center locking trans for my EJ swapped '83 Wagon. I swapped the 3.9 ring and pinion from an XT6 trans in and also 23 spline stubs so I could retain stock EA81 front axles. I wanted to go with the 1.59 low range set but never made it that far. As it is now it's an awesome car even with the only slightly lower low range.

Take an air chisel or a hammer and a chisel and blast some holes in the rear of the engine for access. It's junk anyway. I've had to do this a number of times and it always works.

That's Awesome! Now if only I could buy a NOS Brat to go with it LOL.

Looks good! I'm not quite ready to commit yet (depends on price) but I am interested.

Nice Find!

Mine is lifted and it still looks "pretty"

Congrats! I just licensed my lifted '83 GL as a collector car in WA also.

Congratulations!

Already bought spare clutch and throttle cables, thanks for the heads up!

So, did you get this resolved?

Nice shop Rob! You have done well

If they made a 2 door variant with the longer bed I would own one by now

Welcome! Looks pretty good, but do enlighten me. Why the KA-24?

Bad connection at the headlight connector? Moisture inside the housing? Just a couple of thoughts.

Looks Great!

Older engines and solid lifter cams still need Zinc among other things - You are so right!

Bad rear wheel bearing?

It wasn't obvious.

I agree ^^^ but in spite of that my 3AT still lasted for 250k! It was still working when I pulled it out to swap it for a 5MT DR.

Those heads look fine. Find a new set of rings and put it back together.

Looking Great! Thanks for the updates.
