    Look into a Vermont title.  info is out there and likely mentioned in this forum Not as worrisome as you may think. Best of luck. And congratulations on the solid body find. My opinion: install the D/R 5spd as it is the grand goddess of all the transmissions Subaru threw at us. And from speaking with a master tech years back I recall he mentioned getting an 88 or 89 would be best. Final revisions etc. Enjoy! 

    I've heard the VT title thing or "loophole" has closed.   Not an expert, however.   Others have said Alabama has a "looser" process. If you had been closer, would have given you a killer deal on the '89 DL wagon carcass I finally liquidated.    It had a  title.   Still have near complete new gasket set, plus more new for the EA 82 engines, will make a package deal if interested.  Dave S.    

  2. A southern NM example would not have had any rust on the lower door seams, or rockers.  But theyre all gone now.    The three that were in the Ruidoso area, a while back, as a PACKAGE deal, probably were similar to this one.   In terms of body condition. But was too far from the buyers, to risk it.   

  3. Looked at my three shaft assemblies - that have that carrier bushing.   

    1. one front unit is "shorter" with good bushing and bad front U joint  (guessing five speed?) 

    2. next front unit is "longer" with good bushing and good front U joint (Auto?)

    3. Third Unit is complete assembly, long front shaft, has good U joints (has Subaru Sticker, may be replacement assembly) I did buy it from a Yard, perhaps a Decade ago, as a complete driveshaft assembly 

    Had these loose, for so long, forgot which is Auto and which is Five Speed   

  4. Since you already sprung for the $$ rebuild kit for the Original, I'd find a Carb Guy to fix what you have.  Keeping it all original.  I do know one here in Las Cruces, he was employed by the now defunct Pony Carbs for a spell.    Frankly I'd look for one that has a Japanese focus, or sideline, there has to be more than one out there.   

    The southeast is not a hotbed for these cars, and if you desire to part it out, you'll sell one critical part, and since then the vehicle is disabled, there's no way to sell the rest.   For above Scrap value - say $150 when brought across the Scale.   Shipping and Logistics kill me in southern NM, as pretty much everything I sell in my main focus of 64-81 GM classic has to be shipped out of here.    Would suspect you'll have the same problems, with Subaru parts, in the Southeast.  The areas of interest for the older Subaru tend to be the Pacific NW, the Northeast, and Colorado/Wyoming.  In a very general sense.    There are always exceptions.

    I have done some research on this and it seems the part number 85111GA153 has been discontinued across the board for basically all 1994 leones and older with the analog gauges.

     

    My question (not to steal this thread) is can we adapt a universal fuel sending unit to our tanks? Has anyone used a different make and model part as a replacement?

    I have a flushed / cleaned  tank from an '89 wagon.  sender/float is clean.  Research seems to be that it fits '87 to '89 only.  Any reason why this same setup wasn't used in the "carry-over" '90 - '94 Loyale Wagon models?    

  6. Not trying to Hi-Jack, but have an '89 Wagon 650 miles south, in Las Cruces NM area.   5 speed 4 x 4.   Weathered paint and sun damaged interior plastics, vinyls, etc.   Very Clean underneath.   Maybe both of these Cars can be put together?  Will Sell it for $400 without the Engine and Five Speed or $600 with.    With All remaining '85 - '94 Compatible parts - $1000.    There is a Title.

  7. If you had had this vehicle 24 plus months ago, the local yard had several donors that could have been cut up.  But they crushed out in Oct '20.   Closed. Done. The pick a parts down in El Paso do not allow saws, for most part, and to most individuals.  Liability issues.  And these cars have dried up, even down here.
