tundrabrat

There's an old lady who drives around in a real clean one around here... next time I see it there will be a note on her window. (:

^^^ I remember. That commercial when it was on TV. How the heck do I get 30/40 MPG!?!?

Yep... this happened to me. Replace the alternator and you're golden.

Pics. What year is this?

I'm building this for someone in order to help fund the brat build... hope to have it done this weekend.

Time to put it back together.

This is a great deal and a great solution for rock chips... wish I was in you neck of the woods I'd have my GL in your hands tomorrow

^^^where can I get that airdam?!?! That is awesome

Waterpump water channels looked shallow... all ea81 with hydro lifters do (85+). Just confirming a theory I heard

Is that an '85+ block...

I could use your old front bumper over riders if they're for sale...

Taking blocks to machine shop today... EA81 and EJ25.

The next generation Subaru fanatic...

Thanks... I plan to. Will be nice to drive until the Brat is ready to go then it'll be the GLs turn for a make over My garage looks like a Subaru service dept circa 1985!

I thought it was original... the texture matches the interior plastic perfectly.

Everything about the GL is different from the Brat (engine, dash, styling, etc... doesn't seem like it should be the same era let alone the same year.

Yeah, it has a new fender a Hood as well (thus the black Hood) Head liner is nothing special. I need to find a new bumper and some of the trim.

So here it is... I picked up this 85 GL10 Turbo 4wd sedan (same year as the BRAT) last weekend. I sold my 4runner to fund my Brat project (and get away from that hideous mileage)... came out with enough to to buy the GL and fund both projects! It was stored for the last 16yrs and only has 106k on it and runs awesome! It has rust behind the rear wheels from water getting in the trunk but no rocker or door rust. It has a 3.7 rear different but I can't see any LSD marking. I have RX front springs that will be going in in the next couple of weeks... hopefully take care of the rake that was created when the air suspension was removed by the previous owner. So my question is... is there anything that identifies this as an RX package? Plan is to drive it until the Brat is done then garage it and take care of the body.

'82 BRAT seats... good luck

Did you order the spoiler from Subaru?!?! I purchased a GL10 Turbo 4wd just like this but in lite blue.

Sounds simple but check the tire size... you won't have a problem until you pit it in 4wd. Might as well start with the easy stuff

Could really use the passenger side headlight

Nope... no lights. All is OK...

Wheels choices are limited to Pugeot wheels (same bolt pattern) 14" and 15" available or you can drill out wheels you like or convert your hubs to 5 lug to really open up you choices. SjR Lifts has several choices for lifts and they also sell hubs already converted to 5 lug. Google that paint code and I bet you have your answer in 30 seconds. Good Luck

JB Weld failed... but the EGR Valve Solenoid from a BRAT also works:headbang:
