There you are!! Wish I could have had you down there to help out and fill my wallet. YES , I have that iron 2x4 front bumper/protector with the loop that protects the lights and grill - somewhat. You want black or white? Carpet - I have some gold - or did - from a '76 GF with 56K on it. Floormats - see Danny W. "drivesubies" , he has them new.

No , but I think I have two NOS original lugnuts in my stash. I asked for these a long time ago and people kind of laughed and said "you just get any with the correct angle ...blah blah blah". But I always knew there were a certain style for these wheels , and I'm pretty sure I was right. When I find them again I'll post a pic and hope we can all come up with some. Been waiting a long time to use those wheels. They do deserve a Stage I Coupe. Centercap I have a couple , maybe a set since Mick says he sent me a set ....but they're all not too pretty.

All glass is I have is fine. Not sandblasted or chipped. Those taxes kill shipping on your end. I've had nothing but trouble using UPS or FedEx to Canada. If you want to look into shipping I'll follow through. Right now I really don't have time to do the legwork on shipping. My zipcode is 06604 - Bridgeport CT - but I also use FedEx Ground at the Stratford CT customer center if that helps. UPS is right around the corner from them too. ABF and other trucking companies also nearby.

For me it was always the coolant temperature sending unit. (CTS) -
Is this worth worrying about? Fix? Replace?
moosens replied to moosens's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
I guess I'll take a shot at punching out an old one from one of the engines I have , or my existing one. I know I'm going to need to heat the surrounding area and tap with a brass or soft metal drift. Thanks. -
Pete !!! (RUST Pete , not the other guy) I guess you don't get text messages on that phone. Call me ASAP. I'm going to my storage NOW for a huge day of err...... fun. :-p As for your EA82 - sometimes you have to rev the pisss out ouf it to get that oil all the way to the last lifter with enough pressure to fill it. Done it , trust me. Even after new pump , seals ,etc..... still gotta get that pressure up to make that last lifter inline suck up enough oil to fill it. Didn't read the whole thread so pardon me if I'm off.... Cheers! Call me !!! Front end bars !!! etc. etc. etc ........ !!! TODAY !!!

moosens replied to Legacy RallyGuy's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Looks like a dash plaque given to entrants/competitors. oh , forgot ...FTW !! LOL -
heck no , those valves were talking to me for months ...neglect on that issue. Thanks for the experiment. I have no tach - yet - but when I go over my car I'm going to add the '79 e'tron ignition and tacho. Going to explain a little once more :-\ -Early morning , sleep deprived , no coffee , and too anxious to catch up to the Ferrari , and Lotus' (plural) that we were with. Damn those guys for making me chase them !!! Driving While Toast ! Thanks to Subafreak for trying to get me back on the road !

Older Generation Becoming Historic?
moosens replied to Loyale 2.7 Turbo's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
After 1980 it's just another Subaru. You can look at is as all before a certain cut off are historic , i.e. the 20 year or 25 year criteria many states here have. But to those of us involved for more that 35 years the historic tag seems more well placed on the cars that got Subaru going here in the US. Once the 80's came around SOA got rather viscious to its mom and pop dealers and the volume increased dramatcally. Then began the end of the "good old days" to many of us. Might be able to talk me into EA81's , but no way EA82's and later.- 70 replies

Yeah , more than likely even an authentic "old lady" low mileage Loyale up here is going to be spotty underside. Pay the $900 - or so for shipping and get one from eastern WA , northern ID , or western MT and it'll be plenty worth using. There's some buy/sell/trade paper/internet site I can't remember but its great for finding cars to bring back east because you'll be dealing with private owners. We've gotten a few among us here in CT and around NE. Every once in a while there's that exception to the rule. Notice my '78 wagon - always right here local to me. Properly rustproofed with Zeibart. I got lucky ! Beware Rusty Jones of the 80's and early 90's. Good luck. Enjoy the board. Still locals with parts and parts cars for you - "ctsuba" is THE MAN !! He's in eastern CT.

Yeah , time to dump stuff off !! Earl , I'll get them to you , just no time at all lately. My storage is packed. I need a whole day to get it sorted out. But your seats aren't buried away. Time and big boxes , that's all I need.

Well , uhh , guess you're offering. Damn distance .... I've got an offer from my bro. up in Naugy , about a half hour drive. So far he's in the lead , but I sure do appreciate your offering and you never know , you might be hearing from me on this anyways. If you've got some space I could grab a couple of weekends with that might be something to consider. I'd do things like swap the doors , or maybe just comfortably finish the engine and tranny swap without major stress. Camping in the back a possiblility? Is that where we're talking? Could do a nice long Saturday and Sunday a few extras. That'd assure a completed job. Plus having THE MAN (that's you) there ... but I would expect you have your own buggy to wrench , so space alone would get you reduced favors due my way . Talk to you soon So what's everbody expecting from this adventure when I do finally crack it open? Pretty sure I want to totally investigate and salvage whatever I can being this is the original engine and still under 100k. Damn ! Kills me to say that. :-\
