I'll try to get an estimate but will probably need to wait untill after the holidays.

Drain that intake and all using the large Allen head plug underside the passenger side before removing the intake. Let is drain good. Then you can more easily inspect the intake gasket.

same here , check the rotor. what'd ya find???

I'd gladly hook you up with a full set , maybe less the tailgate piece. Outside chance I may still have a good tailgate piece. "ctsuba" has that tailgate piece , I'm dead sure of that. Do you need the corners too? I've got those too. Feel free to do a walk around of your Brat and give me a list. Between myself and ctsuba we have just about anything you'll need for those. Long distance and large package for those trim pieces but I'd be happy to send if you (and I if I have time) research shipping and get the lowest possible. Measure the longest piece and figure a couple more inches. "drivesubies" has a good amount of NOS if you're interested in perfect parts. I've yet to hear of him having that trim , but hey if he does its going to be the best on the planet so expect to pay well.

Forget more power from that turbo. Sounds like you could do well with a simple JDM replacement engine which is what I just did on my now former turbo wagon. Hang in there. I heard they're going to set up GD for a big accident soon anyways.

Aww geez , you're not going to make it look like a black guy's Honda Goldwing , are you?

Heart stopper ! Yes ,that's a '73 with the small delicious bumpers. Wow ! Hats off to that owner. Thanks for the pics,Mike!

Watching from way over here ..... hey , that 5spd in the lady's yard , is that an FE ? Or a GF ? FE drivetrains get great gas mileage.

Rob, as stated , its a 3.90 front and a 3.70 in the rear. You need to swap the rear diff I gave you. These guys weren't the ones dealing with it so trust me,please. Throw out that chart and all .... it's a single range elect. operated 4WD which came in both 25 spline for turbo and 23 spline for N/A cars. My Factory Parts Manual will show you my info is correct. That was Charlie that test drove it for a few second over gravel. Didn't have time to bind nor the solid traction so no worries on either end. Talk to you soon.

Wow ,not what I was thinking.... I actually have a real original version of those hats without the fluffy fur lining. Just a vintage leather "skull wrapper" like some WW I flying ace. Got it from some old guy. Pretty sure it dates back to the 1920's.

All those carbs are about the same from the base. Variations exist after the 70's. All these kits and they all vary slightly. We'll get it sorted out.

I hope so. Anyone want to do the legwork with searching out a company to work with?

Save me the search and clue me in as to what a unibomber hat looks like , please. I got lucky , sort of. The wind was west , not northwest. But I couldn't hang there long anyways. :-\ to be continued ...

Glad you're not lifting it actually. I just put "Build" and "lift" together. Lots of that going on as you'll notice in other forums. Tail light and turn signal complete , I have both sitting right here. I have some carb. rebuild kits too , but I'm trying to figure out what a couple of them go to for sure. You'll notice those somewhere in the Parts For Sale Forum. Pics included. I'll be digging up more carb kits I'm pretty sure , and am pretty sure there's the late 70's 1600 version in there. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=116562&highlight=carb+rebuild You might have a spider web in the "blow back" or whatever its called .... don't mind me I'm pretty hurtin right now ....its called the fuel seperator or something like that , sits in the rear quarter well , green hose I think....Sounds hokey but what I'm getting at is blow out all those lines. Yes , I realize your real problem is varnished old gas. This car I'm working on now might have a good tank for you. I know for sure it has a really nice fuel feed tube. This guy really took care of this wagon ,aircraft engineer , very cool guy , one of us. He went out of his way to hit yards all over for parts for this car way back when. If I fail to keep track here you're welcome to contact me , Paul , at moosens at yahoo dot com. Cheers!

My kind of guy. You'll want just good used parts fairly cheap , so you'll likely reap the benefits of my cleaning storage and blowing out old stock. Do a walk around and make a list. I've got tail lights - Earl ,you'll get yours too - and all sorts of bits. Lift kits you'll find from a couple guys here , I'm pretty sure. That is if that's what you mean by "build". If you want to make it a street looker I've got fenders and one of us has a hatch I'm sure. Plenty of glass and I might have a windshild gasket too. I've got a '78 4WD wagon. Very precious to me.

I will try my best while going thru ice cold storage with a 25mph northwest wind , to find .....stuff you want.

Ciao Jacopo! What year did Subaru begin to sell in Italia? What region are you in? Nice STi !

Don't forget to get a good set of tires. Car sat way too long so I expect the gas gauge float ,etc. are gummed up somewhat. Charge light , probably needs an alternator. I know I swapped on in recently. Maybe it wasn't that good. Oil pressure - bothered me too but I always had pressure when I pressed tha gas pedal. I did replace at least the pump gaskets if not the whole pump. Heat - refer to that manual in the glove box. Plenty of those control units out there. I know I had extras but "ctsuba" should have all that stuff now. Buttons can be removed and replaced. Enjoy!

Welcome Rob! Windshield frame , don't neglect that. And make sure water drains out !!! Every corner , what goes under the cowl , etc. etc ..... Spray it with oil if you want to just sustain its condition untill a springtime reconditioning. Really hoping to see this car and my former '74 at Carlisle this year. You guys are carrying my torches. We get Danny Williams there too and its going to be a "vintage get down" ! Hot dang!

Hi Pat. Thanks , I'll spend some time on it ..... ???? soon I hope. But most likely I'll suffer thru the winter with the overload already presented in the form of storage.

Yes , that sounds exactly right. Unless you took the fuse out and pulled on the endcap you'd probably never know it was blown.

Sounds good , thanks! I have noticed it gets super hot , especially the lower two fuses it seems. Could use brighter bulbs too.

No sweat ... hey check these out. Amazing , eh? Who'd have thought there were Fuji fuses. They all check out OK.

Air filter box means its a carby .... :-\ Not terrible , just give it a good spraying with carb cleaner and see what its like after that. Still looks white , just filthy dusty... but you know better than me being there. good luck with it! What's your 2 wheeler?

If you guys would do a little favor and flip over some rocks and tree branches (the ones on the ground) and locate a lizard - and catch it , I'll gladly meet up with you guys later in the evening or Sunday and pay you some cash for your help. We had a death in the pet family yesterday , and that little sucker was so damn cool. Smallest one we've ever seen , caught it in August down in the Pinelands , over by the spot Neo knows well , where there's a pond with usually very blue water from high calcium or something like that. Not far from the former "All We'll Drive" location. I'm really hoping to get down there but I've got so much work to do with storage and my home its unlikely. The little critters are going into their dormant stage now so you might see one motionless and turning black-ish if you do see one. Of course , you guys are probably leaving now ... wake up Nip!!!
