About an hour out of seattle. Im going to look for a re-built ea81 but i will keep checking the junk yards to see if they get one in. If anyone comes across one in this area please let me know! thank you

I was planning on rebuilding the motor soon. but now im not sure if i should (or if its even worth it) Or if i should look for a new motor. Any body in Washington have a motor? Or can point me in the direction of a good place to get one? Thanks guys

Ok so I know I could have avoided this by running coolant. So really i just let the cold kill my car.. But my radiator has had a mean leak so I've been topping it off with water almost daily. It's a ea81 82' GL. Below freezing temps hit and froze all the water. Yesterday it happened aswell I started it up and the belt was squeeling on the water pump pulley so I shut it off then topped off the radiator with warm water and let it sit for a minute. I turned the pulley by hand to make sure it was not frozen and started it up. Warmed up fine and drive me to work and back. Today I start it up and same thing, all frozen. I let it run for about 30 seconds with the belt slipping on the frozen water pump pulley. Shut it off and added some warm water to melt the ice. It took a LOT of water this time. All the ice seemed to be melted. Turned it over again and it ran very rough the while motor was vibrating like it never has. I shut it off for a minute and turned it over again to have it start very rough and make one or two terrible knocking/clanking noises then die. Then it just wouldn't turn over at all like its seized/locked up. I pop the hood to find oil/water mixture oozing out of the intake!?? Into the air cleaner box. The water in the radiator had oil mixed in aswell. I know this is bad but my question to you is what's my damage?? I'm fairly new to cars so please bare with me. Thanks in advance !

Also a few times before this happened when I turned the key off to kill the motor it would sputter out and not turn off right away. like it wanted to keep firing. thought that was kinda weird if that would have anything to do with it?

all of the sudden I started my 82 gl yesterday and the tac was viciously jumping up and down but it wasn't revving the motor all the way. I could kind of hear something under the hood making kind of a slipping/skipping noise. I thought it could have been frozen coolant because its mostly straight water and it was freezing outside. so I let it warm up while doing this then went on my way. it would stop for a little bit but even once warmed up and driving it was still fluttering even in 4th gear going 55. its really not wanting to stay idling now either. when I put the clutch in to come to a stop it idles down and dies if I don't rev it in time. Anybody ever experienced this? Please help! THANKYOU!

just got 4 brand new KYB shocks for the 82 GL wagon. Is there anything els i should look for? any easy upgrades while im doing the shocks? The front shocks were pretty much completely blown so just the new ones alone are going to improve the ride a lot more. Thanks!

Where you from ?
-
Oh I see. Way to go! Really diggin' what you have here! Thanks for sharing! :-)
-
Ahh I see. They look good! I got a set of what I'm pretty sure are the same wheels today for 80$ from the junkyard. I'm planning on just drilling two holes in them to fit on to the 4x140 pattern. But they are going to be a bit heavier and bigger circumference so I want to wait until I put the webber on and tune it up. Did you notice that it took a little more to push these rims ?
-
Did you re drill these and they just bolt right up to the stock hub?
-
Right on good to know thanks! Another question? Have you dealt with swapping a webber onto the ea81? Where the stock carb bolts onto my intake Manifold is apparently two studs and the gasket is oval shaped where the webber is a rectangular base with four holes for bolts. Is there an adapter for this manifold or would i need a different one?
-
While driving home today my voltage was reading low. 8-10. What should I check out first to figure it out?
-
Ahh that makes sense. Thank you! I went to the yard today and looked at an 88 hatch but it was the ea82. Was going to get the back bumper but it mounts differently.
-
Haha nice what size tires are you running on them?
-
Did you order these? If so where from? Would you mind sharing the link?

Basically I'm wondering what radiators will work in my 82 gl wagon. With ea81. The junkyard has an 85 , 87 and an 88. Do these have the same radiator? Is there any parts from these cars that are the same from 82? Rear bumper possibly? What about turning lights and brake lights ? If any parts would swap right over with bolt in ease?
-
This thing is RAD! What kind of wheels are those?
-
Ya that wagon is sitting real nice ! Stock suspension? And what size wheels are those?

Do they make a KYB gas adjust shock for my 1982 gl 4x4 wagon? I can't seem to find them searching in google. Does anybody know the part number if they are out there? I'm planning in running the KYB excel g/gr2 in the front and i want to run the gas adjusts in the rear. And any suggestions on where to order from? Thanks!

Got a 82 GL 4x4 wagon about a month ago. Im really stoked on it its a good runner for the most part. the CV axel went out on it and i had it replaced. Im looking for a new radiator because mine is cracked so i have to keep topping it off. im also looking for some external body parts; rear bumper, front mud flap. maybe a whole new front grill assembly. If anybody is around snohomish county area and has alot of experience with the old gens i would like to meet up and have someone take a look at this wagon and point me in the right direction of what i should do next on this thing. and maybe go rally around (; cheers and thankyou!
