December 7, 200916 yr Finally got pics of both seats installed. Also swapped tires (again) on the RX. One of the wheels was really bent and I cant get a set of alloys for at least a couple of weeks :-\
December 8, 200916 yr Seats look right on Rob! Oh, I like those rocker panel covers (Says Subaru) With they would have carried that over to the EA82 cars. -Tom
December 8, 200916 yr Got the 15" pugs on today with new Firestone Winter Force 205-70-15's, trimmed the front fenders so it wouldn't rub as well
December 8, 200916 yr If I didn;t know any better I would say that orange car is a VW Type III of some sort...perhaps a squareabck? Got the 15" pugs on today with new Firestone Winter Force 205-70-15's' date=' trimmed the front fenders so it wouldn't rub as well [img']http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/PureDeath12/DSCF1408.jpg[/img]

And type III were my favourite. I have owned 2 sqaures and 1 fast back...along with a number of other V-dubs in my day. But the squares were my fav. Tell your brother to put an EA81 or an EJ22 in it and call it a day.
December 9, 200916 yr :banana:Yeah got my subie running better. fixed most of the exhaust leaks fixed the water pump it runs so much better.. I think though i need a new catalatic converter.... but that is for another day. :banana:
December 10, 200916 yr Well... Got a new to me soob. monstarus 83 gl wagon. Done a few small things and some that were needed. Oil/filter change, halogen blue headlights. Had a rear bumper, big steel plate with hitch. going to take the ends off the stock bumper and put on the corners. the exhaust was hanging down and had a huge glass pack on it, got two new ones 25'' cherry bombs, and cut up the other exhaust and what i had around to make duals... sounds good, breathes real good, maybe too much? just got new front rotors and pads, going to do today. working on a different roof rack. Looking for tires coming up. Pics coming up when i get the tires and rims on, and when my motor comes! Soon. Shes in good hands Brian...

Kennedy makes an adapter kit for ej to vw tranny, I would definitely use a 5 rib bus box to tame the torque. I was a type 1 guy but got tired of not having water in my flat-4. Mainly the lack of heat, and dead #3 cylinders (Texas heat kills the cylinder just below the oil cooler first)
December 10, 200916 yr I did this to the head and intake, not done by a long shot. Did some bleeding along the way:( Edited December 10, 200916 yr by Quidam
December 11, 200916 yr picked up a replacement axle for the rear of my RX today I'll be installing it tomorrow.
December 11, 200916 yr Slapped in another rebuilt alt. tonight. This is number 4 or 5 in 4 years. Lifetime warranties are great.
December 11, 200916 yr My 85' gl wagon has been sitting since july due to a spun bearing. Thanks to a free short block, she is back on the road just in time for some snow, hopefully!:banana: It has been my daily driver for about 10 years. Edited December 11, 200916 yr by james32
December 11, 200916 yr ^^^Are you serious? Piccard face palm, because not even words can describe the epicness of your fail.
