I am again in possession of the bright blue '82 DL 2wd wagon... the one that I rescued from one my friends this spring and fixed up again. Then it had stopped running for the last friend I gave it to this summer, and he kind of abandoned it another friend's house. So, I went over and swapped a new distributor in there, timed it by ear, and drove it home tonight. Exhaust is shot too -- sounds like an old john deere tractor. But she runs. I had forgotten how fun the 2wd wagons were.

 

Now... what do with her. The 4th subaru in the yard right now ('89 GL wagon, '82 GL wagon, 91 Justy GL, and the '82 DL wagon). The latest idea is to get the exhaust welded back on and use her as a test bed for some research on a gassification fuel system (running the car on woody debris like this http://freeweb.deltha.hu/zastava.in.hu/wood-gas.htm)

that gassificificic thing is cool. DO IT DO IT DO IT. haha you go to the gas station to buy a bag of fire wood instead of gas and light it off on the top of your car, that would be great.
