Nice picture Ed.Looks like great weather too!I will have to make it out there sometime.

Dang thats not too far from where I work I will have to keep an eye out for it.I would love to see one.

That rig will be sweet Scott!What size tires and lift size ect are you planning on using?Also I hope you will have some antlers off of a deer on the front hood to plow trees out of the way. Just kidding.I really can't wait to see it under way.

In some cases that is totally true when you go to a certain area like: Boulder,Co and see quite a few of them driving around and I am not just making this up cause they usually display things very openly.Or if you are in Alaska and you are in Homer it is nearly the same case.

What color rally paint job?WRB and yellow graffics?Or is it more oldschool?

Nice pictures.Looks like a nice trail too!Nice job!

Duplicolor makes some good stuff.I like their hight temp stuff(rated at over 1000deg F)Just use their high tem primer and then the high temp color you choose.Then if you want you can hit it with some high temp clear.I have done this on ea81 valve covers and oil pans and it seems to be pretty durable.I would just recomend scuffing the surface up with steel wool or a green scotchbrite pad prior to paint.

I have my rear diff apart since I am doing the lsd swap to 3.9.Just wondered if there is another option for the rear tapered bearings inside the diff other than a dealer item.The bearings on the LSD unit are not worn or showing excessive play,but I thought it might be worth my time to change them out.I was quoted $80 each per side for them! Maybe I am a cheapskate but I was planning on only spending maybe $40 for both.BTW I am redoing the seals also.Thanks

Make sure you have enough fluid in the master cylinder.Also bleed the front brakes also just to be sure.I had to do the same thing when I did my conversion.

Sounds good.Depending on miles you may want to weasel on down towards the 500-600 dollar range.

A little tricky especially on a hill,but can be done especially if you are fast.

I am pretty sure this doesn't top it but when I lived in Alaska a guy I heard of had 550,000 on his ea81 wagon.Never a rebuild just rebuild oil pump and water pump and kept on going.

This evening while traveling on kipling right around oak street I spotted a very nice looking yellow '74 or '75 2dr coupe at the stop light.Really looked like someone loved it and took care of it.Anyone seen the same car?I just wanted to give the owner a big thumbs up! I really have been paying more attention that I used to on the Gen 1's.Really want to own one some day. (BTW-The year of the car I am only guessing.)

Looks pretty cool!I would tint the sides probly.

Thats exactly right.A friend of mine worked up there this summer and said it was pretty scorchin' hot.I know for a fact that the winters are alot of -30 to -40deg F.

There is alot of good pictures on that site!Wish there was an srx hatch in there too.Man that brat has such a nice paint job!

Nice job! What size Jackmans are those?I know Mick was looking for a couple of 14" ones if that is what they are.Nice that it came with a spare engine too!

Probly the highest I would go is 600 cash since you said he advertised it for 800.I think 500-600 would be reasonable.I think it is a good idea to save that one if you can.I also may be getting a welder soon so I could help you there.

I would go over there again and look closely at where they cut it.There have been a couple gen 1 brats at pns lately and if there is enough metal left on there to weld on to it I think it's worth it saving and just cutting the rear area off of another brat. I really thought it looked nice and I would probly settle between 350-400 if he could work with you.I would just emphasise on the fact that you will have to do alot of work to get the brakes right and also to weld in a new piece in the back.See if that works.I will help push it back over to your house if you get it.Also I have a set of gen1 alloys that I will give you if you get that one.

Looks well worth it!Nice score!

Man,thats too bad!I was really hoping to see a smokin' ea82t.I think the EJ22 na would be a good choice and plenty of power.But what about a ej22t?Still can get reliable power in the mid 200's.

I'll take the pugs off your hands!I have some 15's already so that would be perfect to have an extra rim or 2. Pm me with your location please.I want to come peak at your car anyway.Thanks -Jerry

Looks really nice!Will be a great lookin' sube when its done! I really like the white on that one.I probly would have painted it the same.

Unless you are going to do a power flush like above described I would recomend using the specific seafoam stuff for auto transmissions before you change your fluid.Gets rid of deposites and varnish ect.

That thing looks terrific!I love it!Some day I will have a nice gen 1 like that!Too bad so far away.
