Is there an easy way to replace frost plugs. Need to do two in 75DL1400 and &72GSR. Do I need to take the engine out. I have undone the mounts and lifted the motor but not enough room to tap plugs in. Ideas and suggestions thanks.

Thanks for the advice, I will replace with new frost plugs. Cheers Kevin.

Thanks for that. I took the covers off each side and there was a plug blown on both sides. Found the plugs lying in the head. Can these be put back in or would it be better to replace with new ones. Thanks again.

Hj guys been along time since i was on. Have an issue with my GSR. Got it out for the first time in along time. Cleaned it, put water in radiator which seemed to take along time. Cranked her over and oil was coming out the oil filler pipe. Drained oil which was more water. Filled radiator and water came out sump plug. Any ideas as to what may be happening. Cheers Kevin

EA63 to give away to someone in NZ. Came out of a 74 GFT. My email is waikaia@woosh.co.nz.

awesome car looks like a minter. Makes me want to get stuck into my 75DL and finish it.

Been along time since I have been on the board. Yeh if I had the money I would by it and have two 72 GSR's

Thanks for loading the photo's. The yellow GSR at the top is mine. I have to pick it up. The gold GSR is in pretty good nick. The car at the bottom in primer is a 74 GFT. The guy who owns the gold GSR and the GFT owns his own wrecking yard and specialises in old subarus. There is also a FFI in his work shop.

Thanks for that. It is for sale at the moment on www.trademe.co.nz. That is an awesome collection of early Subaru's. Do you know Elad. His brother was over here and I took him for a drive in the GSR.

I think I might pack up and move to israel. It as close to heaven I will get.

haven't thought that far yet.

Thanks ELAD. How is your brother. Hope he enjoyed his stay. when are you coming over. And james well I don't know if to make it 4wd but it will be fast (very fast)

Is the dl1400 on trademe yours? I have one the same. But intend to keep it and restore it as well. the other GSR is a 74. We plan to hot it up. Not keep it standard. Maybe put a EJ20 in if it will fit.

Have another GSR to restore. And no sorry I don't have a spare badge. Will catch up with you oneday James. I just bought a Subaru Omega coupe for my daughter. She picked it up from CHCH yesterday.

For those interested my GSR is on www.trademe.co.nz.

oops I said it had been along time, Getting mixed up. Oh well how about Wellington one day. A bit further for me but its been along time since I was in the North Island. Anyway the car still looks awesome and hope to have mine parked beside it oneday.I wiiltry and not get you two mixed up again.

Hi James long time since we talk. I got a new booster for my GSR no problem. I also got new rack ends as well. You shouldn't have any worries getting them from your local subie dealer. Or Repco. They are the same as the 1600 models. Your GSR is looking really good. Must meet one day in Dunedin(halfway)and get some photo's of our cars together. You have a DL1400 as well don't you. I am about to start restoring mine. When I get it finished it would look awesome to have both GSR's and DL's together.

Hi elad. Where are they and who owns them?

Did you try that one in Cromwell. Get your dad to try and get it. It is a 74. It was in going condition when I saw it last. It come with trident mags as well.

might have to start a GSR, GL and GFT club after seeing Wiamaks coupe.

We have had one for about 5 yrs now. It was in storage in Invers and is now in a shed on a local farm waiting to be fixed up. I have to finish the Brumdy first. I have put a lift kit in the rear and I am working on the front end at the moment. The DL we have was owned by an eldrly couple and the old fella died and they where going to take it to the wreckers. I gave the old lady $200. The back seat has never been sat in. It does have some rust. We get it out every six months or so and go for a cruise. No cops up here as it isn't reg or warrented. Cheers Kevin

No sorry the GSR is staying at home. Might get stolen in CHCH. I have a yellow DL1400 exactly the same as yours. There is a wrecker in invers who has two in his yard the same colour. Alot of salvageable parts on them. Cheers Kevin

Hi James been along time. Car looks awesome. Email your address again so I can visit you the next time I am in ChCh. I should be up there before chrismas. Cheers Kevin

I am putting in a 2" lift into my brat. I assume that I have to alter the linkage for the hi lo lever. Has anyone got photos of this alteration or any photos of lift kits being put in. I have the rear end done and am about to start on the engine. Anything I should watch out for? Thanks for any help!
