March 26, 201214 yr Where was it mounted? It looks like it could be cruise. It looks similar to the fuel pump control unit that is mounted by the hood release cable...
March 26, 201214 yr Author Where was it mounted? It looks like it could be cruise. It looks similar to the fuel pump control unit that is mounted by the hood release cable... That is where it was mounted, uses one of the two 10mm bolts for the hood release. Thank you
March 26, 201214 yr Damn dude. How can you get 500 posts in a tread with only a month and a half. Anyway, car is looking awesome! Sucks you can't get the axles off the diff. I have the same problem on my 89. I spent a lot of time beating on it and spraying it with PB. I sprayed PB blaster at the thing every day for almost 6 months. And the cups still won't come off the diff. I've given up.
March 26, 201214 yr So nobody knows what this is? Need to know if this is for the CC or not That's the FP relay. IIRC Black wire = ground Yellow wire = Tach signal Blue= 12v ig. switched Blue/black= 12v to choke and anti-diesel solenoid, and bowl vent solenoid. Blue/red= 12v out to Fuel pump
March 27, 201214 yr Author Thanks for the color break down! That sure helps, or may help for future ref. That's the FP relay.

March 27, 201214 yr Heads up - stopped by Sturtevant Auto Salvage today. There is a gorgeous 1981 Hatch in there. Almost rust free. The Engine looks like it hasn't been run since a rebuild. D/R 4wd. Can't figure out why it was there. Must have been an abandoned project that was tossed out. It's really a shame it ended up there. Anyhow, great part source for the Ski car if you're still needing any parts.
March 27, 201214 yr Author Have seen that Sunday, I am going to take some more stuff off it. I kinda want the whole car and rebuild it, cause its a waste of such a rust free car... Its from So Cal.
March 27, 201214 yr Sounds good. I was considering buying it myself today. Just too nice of a car to scrap.
March 27, 201214 yr Author Sounds good. I was considering buying it myself today. Just too nice of a car to scrap. Did they give you a price for the whole car?
March 27, 201214 yr Nah. I mentioned it in passing to the one sales guy and he said they don't sell whole cars. I didn't get any further than that. Figured I might call and try and talk to the boss man - whoever that may be. Depending what you end up doing, if you don't mind asking what they would charge for the trans and diff out of that car. I'm starting to give serious thought to putting a dual range in my Impreza. Edited March 27, 201214 yr by AdventureSubaru

I'm starting to give serious thought to putting a dual range in my Impreza. you don't want the 4 speed dual range that one has. you need the 85-89 5 speed dual range.
March 27, 201214 yr Author Agreed, the 4spd is not a good match for an EJ. The diff in the car is a 3.900, which should be what you have in the Impreza.
March 27, 201214 yr Author I snagged these goodies today from the Pick N Pull for $100. I forced my the guys hand to give me the wheel for free. Will clean up nicely with a little polish. Original Bumper I will need to replace the front Rad support structure. Somebody beat me back to the car, and removed the Passing Light bracket and center piece, But they forgot one key part, the Passing Lamp Push switch (Which I now have and is for sale to anyone who wants it)
March 27, 201214 yr I'm mad jealous of that front bumper. The 82 4x4 bumpers are so hard to find, hence me making my own for mine. Nice score for 100 bucks that hood looks perfect.
March 27, 201214 yr Author This is an '81 4WD bumper I can't wait to clean it up, and then add some blinkers (Since there are non on this style) Should I get factory color matched paint and do the hood White again, or should I paint it Semi-gloss black? I think the white would look better, but would be harder and more costly to do. Hmm..
March 28, 201214 yr Author The big rubber things in front of the bumper? Sure, I could sell them if you need them PM me what their worth to you and a Postal code and I'll see what shipping a 2lb box would run. Cheers! -Tom
March 29, 201214 yr Author Some updates: I have now removed the rear trailing arm to de-rust and repaint. I cleaned and polished the new front bumper. Looks reeeal good now. The '81 4WD bumper came with another one of these bars, BUT there are major differences between the 1981 and the 1983 version - Top is 1983, bottom is 1981. The 1981 version is thicker and twice as heavy as the 1983 version, it also has an extra reinforcement stamping on each side. 1981 1983 Pretty interesting eh!? Here is the Midpipe/Cat flange. I am also on the look out for another set of these. Non ripped, with metal brackets/Screws. These are from a 1981 4WD bumper. (Do not need Lights) Anybody want this bumper?

March 29, 201214 yr Author I think my neighbors are getting worried. Everyday, I take something else off the car, and never put anything back on. A Fuel tank would be really nice right about now Hopefully I might have it by next week or so!!
March 30, 201214 yr Author I've started with the stainless bolts already on this car! I actually started with stainless the same way as I did on my Loyale, first replaced the hood latch bolts.
March 30, 201214 yr Author I'm not sure on where you can buy the 15" Allied Armament wheels that a lot of USMBers run? I can't fine their web site, I assume they have one, yeah? I wouldn't mind getting onto a set of those wheels.
