Subaru_dude Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Jefferson county tags. Actually stopped and talked to her. Said she's been into Subarus for a while but didn't specify how she got the convertible. Had some rust in front of the rear wheel well but that's all that was visible. Had the top down, said she was working on getting a new top off the internet. Can't help but wonder if she's aware of this site, should have asked... It seemed to be in fairly decent shape. Said she was going to do a full restoration on it sooner or later. Had access to a welder and knew how to work with sheet metal pretty well. For those of you who don't know, there was a dealership in California that did convertible conversions on some of EA81 coupes. I don't know how many they produced exactly but I do know they are rare even in Subaru territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to have one. Jacob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2manetoys Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Yes, it was.I miss it sometimes :-\ +1. the Floor board was shot the one I had and I had neither the know how, time or $$ to get it fixed. Finally got hauled off to the junkyard. ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Mine was in pretty good shape. It did have the bottoms of the quarter panels behind the doors rusted out, but its a easy fix. It had a brand new top and other goodies. Won Peoples Choice-Sedan/Coupe last year at WCSS11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
