November 5, 200916 yr Currently, CAP has a million of the C4C vehicles, but they ditched all the EAs and such to make room for them. So what other junkyards in the area normally carry these cars?
November 5, 200916 yr IIRC, there's a place that specializes in Subaru parts, old and new, in the Denver area called S-Wing's Stuff. I've purchased parts for my '83 from them, good guys to work with. 1196 Bannock St., Denver 303 777-8658 Hope this helps
November 5, 200916 yr Superrupair in Boulder still has some EA parts in storage, but they've shifted mostly to the EJ cars in the last three or four years Whats a C4C vehicle? Edited November 5, 200916 yr by zyewdall
November 5, 200916 yr Colorado auto Recycling has a few of them in the 80's range. didnt see anything older than '85 though. off of Sata Fe and Oxford...ish -Justin
November 5, 200916 yr CAP a year ago http://s405.photobucket.com/albums/pp132/bheinen74/denver%20subie%20junkyard/
November 5, 200916 yr c4c = cash for clunker Oh.... of the 10 vehicles I have, NONE of them get bad enough gas mileage to qualify
November 5, 200916 yr Author Colorado auto Recycling has a few of them in the 80's range. didnt see anything older than '85 though. off of Sata Fe and Oxford...ish -Justin Have you been there recently though? I was there a few weeks ago, and the oldest they had was a Legacy(maybe a Loyale too). CAP is the yard I frequent the most.
November 7, 200916 yr Author I swung by there today. They are starting to get the EAs back in stock. Had a few Loyales, an early 80s coupe, and ~83/84 wagon or two. They still have a million of the C4C trucks though. Almost the entire left side of the lot as you enter is trucks now!
November 7, 200916 yr Speedwagon, The number of yards with the old ones is fewer and fewer every year. This one: http://aurora.upullandpay.com/PriceGuide.aspx is currently the best. there are usually a few ea81 and a bunch of ea82 cars. They recently opened or aquired another in denver: http://www.upullandpay.com/Locations/denver/default.aspx I haven't been to this one yet, let me know what you find if you go. Definately check out the one in Aurora, though. There is also this place: http://www.pullnsave.com/weekendspecials.htm which until a few years ago was the best in all the land. Very few ea cars there these days, but worth a look. It's a shame about CAP. Used to be a great place. last time I was there I think they had one ea81. I gotta get used to the fact that there are not as many of these cars left as when I first got in this game. U pull and pay has a place in Co Springs as well. good luck and let me know what you find. In fact, keep me in mind if you see ANY Gen1 gars at all.

Ima check it out Sunday. http://www.upullandpay.com/Locations/denver/Search.aspx What's the easiest way to pull a junkyard trans? Remove the engine/trans together with one of the A-frame hoists? Or drop just the trans from underneath? Edited November 8, 200916 yr by Speedwagon

Or drop just the trans from underneath? Drop the trans from down unda. Pull the torn up seat out of the car and slide it under the transmission and drop the trans onto that, crude and fast style. last bolts you remove are the crossmember bolts. everything else first. let me know what else you see at that jy.
November 8, 200916 yr last bolts you remove are the crossmember bolts. and KEEP YOUR ARMS OUT OF THE WAY!
November 9, 200916 yr Author I found 3 cars with D/R 5 speeds today. Quite a few EA82s, and a couple EA81s there. Here's some pictures I got from the two yards Denver U-Pull-and-pay: Are the brat seats complete in the picture? Or do they look like they are missing parts? Basically, are they worth grabbing or not? Colorado auto and parts: I'll be going back tomorrow, to pull a 5 speed. If any of the locals are interested in coming along to help, I'll gladly pay your $2 entrance fee. Edited November 9, 200916 yr by Speedwagon
November 10, 200916 yr Brat seats are almost always worth grabbing. Hard to tell from the pics how complete they are, often times the pistol grips are cut off of them because you can't squeeze much more than a child's rump roast between them. Even so, the plastic seats in good condition are almost always worth grabbing as well as those headrests, and be sure to grab them complete with the sliders. From the pics it looks like there is no longer a mounting frame for the seats welded to the bed. Whenever you find rear seatbelts for a brat, they are worth getting. When I say this stuff is worth getting, I mean they are rare enough you can always unload them for a more than you paid. You won't get rich, but these parts are easy to remove and as a subaru fanatic I actually enjoy saving these parts from being crushed. What is the light blue gen 2 car in the pics, and were any of the gen 2 cars you saw in really good shape, inside or outside?

I don't think any of them were spectacular inside or out though. A few were not bad as I recall, but I didn't take great notice of them.
