sleddogg Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Hey gang, I have been lurking for a while, and posted a couple times but got ahead of myself and never said "hi" first. My name is Jesse, I live in Salem, Or. I have a '86 GL Wagon that I picked up last year for cheap and have put very little money into, and transformed (so far) into a fun reliable rig. I used to be into the VW scene pretty much, so it was a natural progression over to the Subaru camp. The more I mess with these things, the more of those old warm fuzzy VW feelings I get in my belly. Cheap, reliable, simple transportation. I have experience in the auto technician world, I used to make my living in an underbody shop doing brakes, suspension, custom exhaust and all that jazz. Now, I have a desk type job, which is the most uninteresting thing I could be doing...but in these times...I don't dare leave it. So far, the wagon is the only Sube in my yard...that will change I am sure. As a matter of fact, an EA81 swap into my '68 VW Bus sounds really interesting, so maybe a half and half in the works. I really, really like this board and love reading the posts here, I was having trouble with my Weber conversion...and got a lot of help from the folks here, of course, my troubles turned out to be something silly and simple...but I am aware of some of the troubles with the EA82 Weber conversions now, particularly the not-so-hot engineering on the adapters.. So that's pretty much it! Take care and hope to get to know all of you soon! Jesse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
