Oh this was the 80 dl 2wd wagon she was cherry but no more... thats ok it was kindof cool to watch tho.

Well the subaru is totaled........ had it parked out at a recreation area (helping a buddy of mine fix is Unimog that broke down) and the front half got ran over by a lifted ford super duty crew cab (44's and all) the good news is the guy is going to pay me 1200 for the car the bad news is there is literaly no good sheet metal left to it. (car got hung up on his lift and folded around the rear tires) He did't see the sand colored subaru at the botom of the hill untill it was too late. (glad I was under the Unimog at the time) The ru did not give up with out a fight though. It took out 2 44" boggers and a drive shaft. He was not too happy about that and at first tried to say it was my fault. The Police were called and they wrote him a ticket and I got a ride home in a nice unimog. So now I have a truck (bought a chevy crew cab dually from a friend for little change) I might get some pics of the car later this week.

My 80 dl wagon has the bosses in the pillar. Does your pillar have a covering? (mine is metal) It might be there under the covering....

Thanks for the kind words. I am still going to go back to the gym (after I get rid of my cold) I have a goal that I am going to complete someday. (I already have competed in a few local events a few years ago) I want to be in a worlds strongman contest. So I guess a little misguided criticism is ok every once and a while. But I do agree about the usual snobbery from that type. Oh and my car had a nice backfire on the way out (choke on and fast letoff of the throttle) I think she spilled her coffee tho

YAVOL just had to tell some one about it. (wife was asleep)

Ok so here I go, I walked out of this coffie shop tonight to my ru (the 80 wagon that is cherry) and pop open the door. There in front of the coffie shop sits these skinny (like anorexic(SP?)) girls there that are like staring at me (me 6'5" 350lbs not in the greatest of shape but I have seen alot worse than me) so I do my usual squish contortionist thing to get in and the skinniest one almost chokes on her coffie. (I mean it was totaly going out her nose) the other ones just laugh looking at me and she regains composure and said that was disgusting looking right at me....... So I say thanks..... She just says whatever and I drive off..... Brused ego and all. So now I have a complex about driving the subaru.. Stupid anorexic people. Anyhow anyone have a Legacy wagon they want to trade me now....... Or how about buy this thing from me for oh $1000...... Damn it now I want to eat something.... lol oh well need to go to bed. Adam

buy mine anyhow I have been driving my ea71 gen 2 wagon and it is like driving a sewing machine just keeps on trucking along. let me know if you want info on it.

ok so what would be the "best" of the EA82 as far as all round vehicle. (keep in mind I have a turbo motor that I can get for cheap)

Junk yard parts here are not a problem I have sourced many just parts for a conversion. I just would hate to butcher a low mile car you know. (the jeep thing is only a last resort) I took my ru to "Red Sands" on my way to the airport. WEEEEEE. It did fine but I would have had more fun in 4wd with a little more suspention travel. has any one here lifted a 2wd yet? kinda thinking a pre runner.

Ok here is my perdicament. I have 1 cherry 1980 dl wagon with 69k on the clock, I want a 4x4, now should I.... A) Perform a complete motor/driveline swap find a cheap 4x4 ru and do the same C) Sell the ****ing thing and get a nice 4x4 D) just bite the bullit and get a jeep E) Quit waisting your time and just be ahppy with what I have I might be interested in a trade for a good running/driving 4x4 (would prefer some mods and maybe a lift) I am also not too scared of a little rust (I can always source a good body to stuff the guts in).

Yep. they both are sitting on the rotors... There is another one there that looks like it is a 4x4 wagon.... single headlight.

I will get some pics (if my camera holds up)....

Oh and what kind of mechanic are you going to be in the Air Force? I just got out from being a jet engine mechanic.....

Yep I got nuts...... oops I mean the nuts (ok bad humor but I am tired)

I don't know if it is factory but there is a Gen 1 in a yard here with 1.....
