    Rarest Old-School Subaru Part or Option?

    in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...

    Posted

    it was an accessory that could be ordered. It was better than nothing, but I thought it could have been a little taller still...

    I've had a set of the sport mirrors (on that page) in the past too, plus I think I may still have one of the walnut shift knobs....

     

    your best bet to get it a right fit, is to test fit it. I don't remember what the padding bas was now. 2x4? anyway, you could use a 4x4 as a base to get it higher, and use some really dense foam.

    in a few weeks I start the part out of this...

     

    Items for sale will be:

     

    Wheels/Tires (missing one ceter cap)

    Vinyl Floor (not sure how good it is)

    EA71 Engine with side mount starter bell housing (coolant blowing into airbox thru PS PCV tube, headgasket leak assumed)

     

    Items I'm keeping:

     

    Round Headlight Set-up

    Fenders

    Doors

    Seat rails

    dome light

     

    I don't think there is much more worth grabbing.

     

    And next in line for Part-out is this: :headbang:

    I'm buying it back from the guy I sold it to 10 years ago...

     

    This pic is 10 years old. the body is now shot. captive nuts and structure that lift blocks are attached to are seperating from body. it's got a weber'd EA81 and D/R in it that I'm keeping, along with the wheels... I don't know if it has the brush guard on it still or not...

    What brand winch is it? I was pretty sure it was not A warn. Do you have any pictures of it, how many pounds is it rated at, and how much money is the right price? Thanks, Kelly

     

    They were and mine is a Yellow Superwinch. There is no rating on it that I could see, but I think they were only rated at 1000 or 1500 pounds.

     

    I remember a guy who used to be on this board many years ago, found a brand new on, still in the box, with all the wiring and instructions...

     

    I'll see if I can get some pictures of mine...

     

    for pure usage, you can probably get a better newer one that not 30 years old :)

    I seen A winch for sale on one of the sites. It had subaru instructions for installation, and from the pictures on the instructions, the winch was A real factory accessory. It was yellow and had an install kit. I didn't have the money to buy it then but I do now. It was all brand new! Anybody got one for sale????

     

    Maybe... if the price is right...

     

    I picked up one of the yellow ones a long time ago. I have it mounted on a 2x6 with some big solenoids I added. I forget what kind of switch I put on it. I have 2 holes drilled in the 2x6, and I have 2 bolts permanently mounted on my car trailer so I can throw it on quickly and run it off a jump pack....

    when you moved it to 3rd, did you just force it while stopped, or try to do it with the engine off? it your clutch wasnt fully adjusted right, this could still happen. if forcing it, the shifter fork could have bent... at this point, I'd pull the engine back out and make sure the clutch and TO bearing arm are okay and not bent.

    Guess I should have stated that mine is an 88 4wd gl. Sorry about that guys

     

    as long as it's the Hatchback with EA81, it should work if it's a gen2 Brat light bar... (assuming you mean a front brushguard with light mounts)

     

    I updated my above post with corrected years...

    Does a Brat front light bar fit? Any mods or does it bolt up? Super new to the sub stuff.

     

    if it was from a 82-87 Brat (GEn2) it should fit any 80-84 4WD Wagon or 80-89 4wd hatch. The GEn1 Brats (78-81) and gen1 4WD wagons (76-79) had the narrower engine compartments, but an ea81 will still fit, however it would be best to use a '81 GL Brat crossmember, which was the only GEn1 to come stock with the EA81, and had a slightly different engine crossmember to move the steering rack access a bit wider to help clear the ea81...

     

    as far as light bars, some may fit differently due to the switch from chrome bumpers to the plastic covered front bumpers...
