  1. What she said!!!!! Great pics!!! That's one clean Brat Jealous, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester
  2. I had the same question as everybody else??? What's an SRX ? Is this a Hatch or Wagon or Sedan with another name? http://usmb.net/gallery/album72 Is it similar to any of these??? Welcome to the board, Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester
  3. Mark, Good to hear from you. Sounds like a score to me! Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester
  4. I think you guys have way too much time on your hands...
  5. They want $127 each for those tires.... I paid $52 for mine... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=4968&sort=1&cat=500&page=1

  7. I had a similar experience last week in the Forester. Driving on the freeway...as soon as I get off the car starts to pickup heat. Smells like antifreeze. The overflow tank is full. The gauge is going up and down in the middle to the hot zone. Fans are both going. The problem continues until I get back on the freeway and starts again when I get off the freeway. Usually the gauge just stays on the first mark and doesnt' move... I'm puzzled? Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester
  8. It's easy enough to undo the oil pan drain plug for 2 seconds. No more over fill! Just a thought...
  9. Welcome to the board! I'd suggest a set of ATV tires and a sawzall? The bigger the better! Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester
  10. An EA81 (early 80's brat, hatch, wagon...) will have a filter next to the fuel pump in the back ( just forward of the tank). The will also have one under the hood.--My Hatch's was attached the the firewall on the drivers side. What car are we talking about?
  11. I have always found my glove box latch way strong! If your worried about it popping open under the extra weight of some cups, Try locking it? I'd think you'd be ok with the original latch? Good Luck, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer--complete with glove box. 01 Forester--of course it has one too.
  12. When I transplanted the wiring harness and motor to the buggy, I had the same issue. My problem was a toasted flasher unit and rusty horn wires. They worked before I messed with them but not after. You need to trace the power to those units??? Good Luck, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester
  13. Did you change both filters? My EA81 has a front and rear filter. If you have two then you'd better think about giving that second one a quick change... I'd keep an eye on the filter and see just how fast they are getting dirty before I'd mess with cleaning a tank... Good Luck, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester
  14. I found one (Sammi) this weekend for $400 said it looked clean and ran good. I didn't buy it because I have no place to put it and can't justify another off-road toy taking up space... If I had my way my house would look like Sanford & Son
  15. ...how good does an axle have to be? A Bucking Bronco II has still got to have stronger axles than a Subaru! It would be a upgrade and a solid axle. For $20 I wouldn't pass it up either. What about the transfer case? It may save some fab time to reuse the Bronco drivelines and transfer case then fab up a connection for the tranny? My .02 Glenn 82 SubaruHummer ?? Mystery car--soon to appear? 01 Forester
  16. I had the same problem.... Do a search....Ok I did one for you http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=14124&highlight=forester+clock+issues This is the problem and the fix! Good Luck, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer--clock still works. 01 Forester--clock works again.

    $$$$

    Worth is in the eye of the beholder... If your gonna raise it you should also gear it... Mudrat79 could tell you what it would cost? How much of this are you willing to do yourself? Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester
  18. Northwet is right, it seems it might be a professional Navel Jelly type product. The "professional" stuff has all kinds of warnings but it seems like it should work the same, just a question of strength (phosphoric acid). I'll take a look when I get home and see if I can still read the writing on the bottle. I remember it being called Metal Primer by 3M or Dupont. It was not packaged for consumers. For what it's worth, I have had mixed success with this stuff. On some projects it worked and some the rust reappeared a year or two later although that could have been attributed to my painting?
  19. Any EASY way to put SPFI or MPFI on a older D/R vehicle. Is it worth it?
  20. Or you could, follow some of the tubes comming out of the tank and you'll find the pump and the first filter together hiding under a plate. Good Luck. Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester
  21. What he said, Make one trip, go a little slower and save the equipment. Check your bearings on the trailer and make sure you have a good spare--with air
  22. Rust Converters.... I use a phosphoric acid (could be spelled wrong). I think it's made by Dupont and is sold at auto body supply stores as a metal primer. It's a green liquid that converts rust to shiny metal or a black color depending on the extent of the rust. It etches the metal and is ready for priming/painting in about 10 minutes... Is this what your talking about? Good Luck, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester
