August 28, 201312 yr Thought I would put some pics up of my wagon. Ausubaru members would have seen this already. I bought from an elderly one owner. it has 147000 kms on the clock. am currently rebuilding the stock ea81 and giving it a freshen up. Will stay stock and just use as a weekend cruiser. Its in too good condition to mess with. All I have done is paint up the white 13s I got and put some chrome wheel trim on them.]
August 28, 201312 yr Author I should probably explain it is the australian version of the touring wagon.
August 29, 201312 yr Author yeah that sunvisor was added by the dealer as an aftermarket option for the original owner. pretty cool
September 2, 201312 yr Author Yeah I rarely see them where I am in adelaide Australia and if I do they are rough as anything!!
September 9, 201312 yr Author I wanted to get an overall idea of what it was going to looklike so I slapped the parts on. Apart from that alternator im pretty happy withthe blue I chose. The heads will soon be sent off and the carby is currently getting rebuilt
September 9, 201312 yr Author It's just a UHT engine enamel blue. I will see if it has a code for the colour when I'm out in the shed next.
September 10, 201312 yr Looks awesome! What color blue is that? It's just a UHT engine enamel blue. I will see if it has a code for the colour when I'm out in the shed next. Looks a lot like Ford engine blue to me. Dan
September 13, 201312 yr wow its immaculate,, wise to keep it original, Had these in NZ as well, very rare to see them now as most of them dissolved with rust, as anything of that vintage did. had one of these as my first subaru 20 years ago a great car
September 15, 201312 yr That Subaru is Very Beautiful, I Like it! Only for sharing information: The LADM (Latin American Domestic Market) is full of Touring Wagons, because people here prefered them over standard wagons; so you can see Touring Wagons of those EA81 (Leone) the EA82 (Loyale) and even Legacy. What are your Plans with that Nice Touring Wagon? Kind Regards.
September 16, 201312 yr Author Well currently rebuilding the engine. The carb is getting rebuilt as we speak and the heads are at the machine shop... Just keep it mostly stock and enjoy her
October 16, 201312 yr I don't know what it is about Astrial Gold met. and white wagon wheels that makes these wagons look so good. Another color possibility for the proper type of engine enamel in spray can form for the valve covers/water pump pully is from this company in the states called Bill Hirsch Automotive: http://www.hirschauto.com/prodinfo.asp?number=EEA-SPRAY&variation=BUI%20TURQ The color: Buick Turquoise 1942-52 & 53 Specials This color is really close and gives the stock appearance. If you have a compressor and paint gun here is some in AUS: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Buick-Turquoise-1942-52-Engine-Enamel-Bill-Hirsch-Hitep-/230685541114 For the air cleaner, seen a few people use this and it looks great! http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/DPLG/DE1610/N0487.oap?ck=Search_N0487_DPL_-1_-1&mn=Dupli-Color®&mc=DPL&pt=N0487&ppt=C0171
December 18, 201411 yr Ugg I can't wait to finish up my Civic so I can pull the engine on my EA82 and rebuild it...
