  1. Got that same leak. Going to buy the rad. Anyways because I'm on my way back in the middle of a 1000 mile run with family. I'll be covered but will try to get home with Barr's. That square head plug is correct. You backfill the rad. That way or you'll overheat. I'm very surprised nobody told you that.
  2. Hey Frank , Welcome Back! Is that a Brighton with roll down windows? We had a '96 , loved it! A little heavy but supports confidence in the winter.
  3. Went to pick up a free shred stick in Sherman yesterday. Saw a good group of you young guys in Subars doing a cruise. REally sweet GOLD Impreza - WRX? I'm guessing. Didn't have time to look for long. They were going up Rt.7 and west onto Rt.37 towards the hills.
  4. Go George , GO!!! Talk to you soon. Happy pedalling !!

  5. Nice but use grey primer for painting white. Not too big a deal for what you're doing but I'll bet if you use grey primer the other wheels will show a little more white. Keep at it , you're doing good! Gotta check that CT site soon.
  6. NC !!! '70's Subarus !!! You're welcome here , that's for sure! OBX and the western hills ! I'd be happy to help you find a '70's Subaru. But you can't have mine , sorry.
  7. Did you remove the square head plug on the passenger side top of the radiator and backfill the radiator that way when the thermostat was replaced? If not , you need to.
  8. Aww man , I was hoping on seeing stuff popping out of the hood , car snorting like a bull , that sort of thing.
  9. Idealy - have a glass hood laid up and cut out for the stacks , make a scoop. Sounds like a lot and its not cheap but possibly worth investigating given the need for work in many shops these days. I'm thinking around $300 - 400 gets you the hood ready for you to do the rest and paint. That's a hood blank , you'd apply hinges ,etc. Just a thought. You're going to be sporting a semi hotted up rig (compared to stock) , a little extra mustard on it would look pretty cool. Good luck and of course we're all behind you on this.
  10. FedEx Ground - much better. Mark , there's a few of us with those trunk lids out there. Between Subaru3 , drivesubies , ctsuba , and wagonsonly .... and myself , there's probably another half dozen out there.
  11. Whoa ! It's not only super dry in the spare well it even dried up the 2 inches that was in the driver's side "jackstand/water bottle" well. No drain hole there so it must have evaporated with the sun's heat. So I must have gotten it with the last dab of sealer I used on that bumper stud hole. I was expecting to at least see water there that I'd left the other day. We had a blast of a storm last night so if it didn't get wet last night I should be good to go. - I hope.
  12. yup , flat ground. Seals looked good. Possible T-showers today. I'll see what I can accomplish today.
  13. Roof rack - yes. Checked it pretty good and no trace of water running down a window , etc. I dd a hose down with the panel off on that side and saw nothing but for what I mentioned where the bumper wraps around and bolts onto the rear quarter. Might be that I just didn't see something but the roof rack was my first thouht too. The water consistantly comes in from the same corner so if it were the rack I'd guess its that left rear mounting base. Here's one for laughs - just 5 months ago. Yeeeooooww!! Anyhow , I was looking for a pic of my car with the rack but I don't have a good one handy. I'm wondering if that left rear mount is really that far back and that far to the side that the water would only go to that corner.Ceiling liner looks fine - no water spots - just well abused from ladders ,etc. No rust around the glass. All seals look fine.
  14. Taking on water. Looks like left side. Tail light (left) I sealed like a madman. Did it a second time and water tested it. All looked good but I could see one tiny hole where the bumper side (wrap around) anchors into the rear quarter panel. That hole comes into the car jack/washer fluid bottle well directly. To me this this looked like too small of a leak to take on so much water. Anyone else have such an issue? Water after strong rain equals about 2-3 inches in the jack well and about the same in the spare tire well. It manages to get into the rearmost portion of the "tool/junk tray" that sits over the spare tire. Checked the hatch door seal and all over pretty good. Next thing I do if no answer here is to take all the panels off and lay in the back while somebody hoses it down. Thanks for any help.
  15. Hunting season for you. This happens often. People order rear struts and for Gen I and get Gen II. I could be wrong but that's my guess , that you got 2nd Gen. They were just on eBay not long ago if that helps. :-\ Hey , that's not Brownsville up here near NYC is it?
