I was just so happy that I had to share. After being off the road (actually, parked on the side of my house for the past 4 years) I've finally gotten my '87 GL back on the road. Over the years I've slowly worked on it I've done the following:

 

Complete FI & harness swap from an '88 GL

Power windows and locks (was all manual)

Rear inertia belts from a late model loyale

 

It's running great. The last exhaust issues have just been fixed. It's time to start *using* the car again!

 

 

 

 

 

 

It Looks Very Nice, Congratulations!

 

Could I Ask about the Front Cover, is Custom Made?

 

Kind Regards.

congrats! great looking car.

Beautiful wagon.

Awesome steering wheel, don't see that see to often.

To Loyale 2.7 Turbo:

 

The front cover is a standard issue LeBra front cover, it's been on the car ever since I bought it. The car looks quite strange to me without it on!

 

The part number is 55242-01. I picked a spare one up on ebay for $20 a few years ago and I still see them occasionally. The manufacturer also still lists them available as new.

Ah, it has the Cruise control buttons on the side. Didn't see that before

Thank you for your Kind Answer.

 

What are the Plans for your Subie?

Boy, I don't really know. It's certainly not daily transportation at this point but I've had this car since college and I'm stupidly attached to it - I just couldn't let it sit and rot anymore plus I was getting sick and tired of people just coming up to the front door asking if I wanted to sell it. I've had the car for close to 20 years. I just stopped driving it because it wouldn't pass its emissions test - The emission control system with all of those one way valves on the Hitachi carb failed and I got tired of doing the smog waiver every other year. I'm a huge FI fan and it's so much easer for me to debug those systems than a carb so now it's old enough, I swapped the whole setup & it runs so much better for it.

 

It's not my primary means of transportation - and in fact, it's not even my secondary. I'll just keep it maintained and enjoy it for the memories mostly.

 

Man, I have too many cars - but heck, they keep me out of trouble

Haha the people asking if you'd sell it were probably some people from here, real nice wagon...you ever thought about selling it? Just kiddding.
