January 6, 200917 yr Check out what I picked up for under, well under 200 bucks As you can see this loyal had some pretty good smashes in the front.....nothing we couldn't handle Aint perfect but sure is a lot better than before. This bad boy runs perfect too!! Jeff
January 6, 200917 yr Author I wish I would have got a pic of the white one in the begining, It head light had smashed through the battery, the hood fender, head light, marker light and grill where all gone. I wish I had a White parts car but I had a grey one instead so I replace all that stuff. Jeff Edited January 6, 200917 yr by one eye
January 6, 200917 yr Author I'm going to try and straighten out the head light a little more, but this is what the fender looked like once we got it off. Jeff
January 6, 200917 yr Author Are you gonna flip these or make wheelers? -Bill The maroon one may become my new Wheeler but I hope to sell the white one for a reasonable price. It runs like a top! Jeff
January 6, 200917 yr Author Nice. Loyales, or GLs? The white one is a 91 loyal and the maroon one is an 88 gl D/R:banana: Jeff
January 6, 200917 yr whats wrong with the marron one? I would make the damaged car the wheeler, especially since it runs good -Bill
January 6, 200917 yr Author whats wrong with the marron one? I would make the damaged car the wheeler, especially since it runs good -Bill Rear window is plastic and I think the TPS is TU. I havn't done any thing with it yet. The guy I got it from said it ran real crappy, so he parked both of them and started driving a mid 80's 4 banger mustang, I got 12 motors so if worst comes to worst........ SPFI EA81!! Jeff
January 6, 200917 yr The guy I got it from said it ran real crappy, so he parked both of them and started driving a mid 80's 4 banger mustang. Jeff No accounting for tastes... My '85 GL wagon was crushed by someone who decided to drive a '90 Mustang that ran on about 6 out of the 8 cylinders (and the 5 speed had been reduced to a 3 speed.....). Okay.. I sold it to him, but still....
January 6, 200917 yr ...I got 12 motors ... 12 Motors! That is really Spare keeping! Both Subies Looks Like they can Be Real Good Wheelers!
January 6, 200917 yr IF it were me i would keep em both, BUT thats me I cling to cars like a fat kid on a cupcake. I would be more willing to bash up a car thats already been bashed though, just swap the D/R from the maroon one into the white beater and lift it a little and bam. A days work at best, but you already know that -Bill

I think there is a guy that wants the white one already....so if it went that quick I won't worry about it. As for the Maroon one it is going to get lifted, I might put my SJR Maroon Wagon for sale after I get the lift and everything else done on the other one, I just replaced the drivers side doors and hatch on it, it needed it, but now it looks like the car of many colors. 8 cans of flat black will make er look just like new! Jeff
January 6, 200917 yr As for the Maroon one it is going to get lifted, Jeff you got 13 days to get it ready for Rieter:eek:
January 6, 200917 yr Author you got 13 days to get it ready for Rieter:eek: Probably not on this run, I'm going to go 4" instead of 2, the big tires just rub to much. Or maybe 6" then I can run 31" tires!! like Bill does on the Beast. I replaced all the wheelbearings on the Wheeler wagon and now the LF tire rubs like never before. Jeff
January 6, 200917 yr them 31's are way nice offroad, lots of clearance I would suggest maybe 9.50 wide instead the 10.50s i have now, might rub less on the inner fender area down by the door. I need to go beat my inner fenders some more, I still get rub at full lock when turning. -Bill

January 7, 200917 yr Don't you have an EA81 in yours too? Jeff Yep I likes no timing belts and no smokescreen goin sideways on hills, my previous EA82 powerplants both burned oil horribly goin through hard curves or sideways on a hill. -Bill
January 7, 200917 yr Author I got an EA81 in my Maroon Wheeler wagon too. I used an EA82 intake on it though so there are a few thing different. I should have just used the EA81 intake, but It gave me a little practice an how to do an EA81 SPFI swap. Is your carbed or injected? Jeff

Jeff I have a EA82 intake with a 32/36 Weber on mine, I had to make spacers for the manifold to clear the block though, but I think my manifold is the exception, Jerry has done umpteen EA82 manifolds on EA81 motors and had no clearance problems like I did (figures). The EA82 manifold has slightly larger diameter intake runners and flows a bit better, but you HAVE to have a Hitachi distributor to make it fit, or modify the little plate the disty bolts to. Im actually running an EA71 Ditsy filled with EA81 internals that I pieced together from 4 distributors I never did reattach my power steering though, some days I wish I had, but I just strong arm it, its funny when my buddy tries to drive it off road cuz when the wheel kicks back from a rock he aint ready and it always kicks his a$$ -Bill
January 7, 200917 yr No I hear ya, I'm on a mission to own every subaru in Skagit county, I got 17 again and I think that's about 5 too many.Jeff Wow... I don't feel so bad about having 4 then. Maybe I'll get some more
