Skip Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Welcome aboard EA71 1600 cc would be my guess but the guys here know MUCH more than I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Welcome aboardEA71 1600 cc would be my guess but the guys here know MUCH more than I. Same here. But if you lift the hood there should be a sticker with the info on it. Also,engine has a raised lettering "EA71" up by the distributor. If its not an EA71 1600 then someone did a swap with an '81. If the starter is located at dead center top of the bellhousing it's the EA71 or first edition of the EA81 1800 which was a one year deal,pretty much,with the top starter. After that the EA81 has the starter located on the upper driver's side of the bellhousing. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks and i am going to keep working on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subieguy Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Looks good! Enjoy it. If you ever need parts I am sure ther are several of us here that can help out with that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Wow,really nice base to start from!! That rear bumper....I most copy it!! Or find one,but that's unlikely. Not many of those left. Enjoy,and yes,there's more parts out there than you'd think for this car. But of course,some items are scarce. No problem for brake/tune-up parts,etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
