  1. Damn I was alittle jealous you got that '73, but now I know it is in better hands!! I say you put the Subaru in front of the other projects, and keep us all posted on its progress!!
  2. Yeah, just replace whatever layers you would have added in clearcoat, with additional layers of paint. Ive only used clearcoat once on rims, and that is cause I masked them after a few coats, and when i lifted the tape it ruined the finish of the paint. So i added a couple coats of clear to bring the gloss back.
  3. You know the saying, you get what you pay for. I will continue to search and report back here.
  4. YEah as soon as I installed it, i heard some fizzling and then saw smoke comming from inside the unit. It was an extremely cheap piece. There were no RCA pre-amp outputs. No RMS rating and entire stereo felt cheap and ready to break. I sent it back for a full refund, and now my truck is without a stereo
  5. Tell the parts guy you have a 1987 RX Turbo. 110% of every RX ever made came from the factory with rear disc brakes. Anything listed in their computer will work for your setup.
  6. I say somewhere off Highway 50, that way its kinda a equal drive for everybody. where was the place you took your Scout? Is that subaru safe?
  7. I tried to put a Gen2 A Bar on my very first Subaru which was a '79. It would not fit. The engine crossmember on the Gen2's are wider.
  8. What does it do to the lower control arm after you pretzel a radius rod like that? I bent one once, and it tweaked the lower control arm and its mount. Even after replacing the radius rod & control arm, the car never drove straight again.
  9. Well, he has only had it for one day. Give him a week...
  10. Here are a couple decent shots recently of the truck with the hood on. You may notice there is a strap that runs behind my grill. That is holding my hood shut. I think I am going to have to invest in a set of hoodpins soon. Soon I will be forced to do something for front & rear bumpers.
  11. Dude andrew! Then you are just the man I need to speak to! Too bad, it looks like you logged off of Yahoo. Im going to hit you up next time I see you log in.
  12. Im eager to see what it looks like. The eBay ad has absolutly no information as far as a make or model. Got the metal I need for the console. Just gotta borrow the propper tool from my buddy and then get it done.
  13. Yeah its my 4Runner. Outside pic for y'all I destroyed my cd player so I found a cheap replacement off ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=110401866369 The new one doesnt look like it has a CD player. Which is good, less moving parts the better. And the cooler. Also USB & SD Cards do not skip
  14. You'll have better results starting off with the coupe. Its 2door already and will look propper.
  15. I have to fold the antenna down or else it hits the top of the garage door when i pull the truck in. I just fold it forward and stuff the tip under the roof of the cab. With the spring installed where it is, it works nicely and nothing takes damage.
  16. Awesome. I have been trying to make a list of stuff to bring. Like a EA81 First Aid kit, since I'm thinking the majority of the crowd will have EA81's & EA81 drivetrain. So far I have: Spare Alternator(s) pair of front wheel bearings, & seals spare CV.... or a BIG hammer Various brake parts belts, lug nuts, etc... Fluids (ATF, 10w30, Water) Mike you remember how to get to my place? Im not sure if I am going to spend the night in Reno just yet, or just shoot up I5 from Sacramento.
  17. Can you find out more about that JB? Isnt the 20th & 21st fathers day weekend? Lets try for the weekend after that.
  18. I have seperated many front CV axles. The tool isnt very special, everyone should have one
  19. Im going to be doing this to my Brat... but 2WD as RWD... not FWD
  20. How are the fire regulations in Nev. vs. California? A campfire is a HUGE bonus, and camping without one sucks.
  21. Jibs has enough property, we can just setup a tent there
