jeffx Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I've never really posted any sort of an introduction at usmb, although I've been a registered member for a years--just bought Subaru #5. My 98 OBW scarfed its second set of headgaskets in as many years in December--thought I was out of the game, but I've always wanted an EA82 Wagon with DR 5 speed. I found one in January here in Phoenix. Its an 88 GL in Liberty White. The body is very nice and the interior is pretty cherry for an Arizona car. Ironically, the car was originally a Michigan vehicle, sold in Petoskey. No rust at all. I believe the car was brought out here and only used occasionally, thus the condition. All the electrical works--even the clock! I had a new clutch put in. I have to admit, its definitely harsher in drive quality than my OBW, but I kind of enjoy the peppy buzz - iness of it, it brings back a lot of good, albeit old memories of my other EA Subarus--and no rust (I can't get over it! I lived in MI for 22 years before moving out here and most of my subarus ended up in a series of five-gallon pickle buckets). Oh, and I sold the OBW, couldn't bear to go through with the repairs again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
