Not from me. That's happened before where a board member or two think the other person is taunting. Happened to me,gonna happen to you too. Let's get back to group buys of parts we all need. Yes,I mentioned fiberglass panels but only because it'll be easier to make glass panels than make them from sheetmetal. In this case something that seems more exotic actually isn't and is most likely the least expensive way to make a new fender,etc.That is if we get things moving and have one shop produce a batch. It'd be nice to have simple old sheetmetal but now we're at a point of needing reproduction panels since originals and aftermarkets are extremely hard to come by.

Kick around thread. Hoping to spurn individual posts pertaining to but not limited to such items as: The existing threads for rubber/weatherstripping and Heater cores Suspension/engine/tranny mounting rubber Carpet We have some decal repro folks right here. Can we maybe get our heads together and have produced one or two stripe kits (white and black?) for 72-79? Give the maker a good number of buyers - them passing along a discount - keep the money in the family here. Anything else? Fiberglass panels? Pre-formed hoses kits? Brake lines? Tight year for money for lots of folks,I know. But it's also a good year to wheel 'n deal with shops. Think about how long you hope to keep your car on the road. Kick it around.

Both - prices and acquiring the parts so I can get the repairs done. Already submitted info to car-parts so now I'll try the other one too. Subaruparts dot com showed that it might be in stock. I'd need to actually submit an order to find out for sure. Yes,I think this car will be saved even if I have to go thru the dreaded inspection process for Salvaged Vehicles. If they give me the right price this car will be mostly stripped and the body sent off for repairs to the unibody. If it works out that way I'll have the shop hack out the repairs to the spare tire deck and firewall,and driver's floor near the wall where "Flintstoning" has begun. yabba dabba doo !

A mile from your house,eh? Gotta love that. Indy sprouting up and over,my thought too. Same issue here,my son wants the Gen I Brat AND my beloved '78 wagon.:-\ Enjoy it!

Please read from the begining.

Now the other side. We have windshield gaskets. There's at least 4 windshields here in CT and more elsewhere. I've used my '78 wagon as a daily driver at times for the last eight years with absolutely NO major repairs. For the money its been my best car,hands down. Once was our only runner in the dead of winter with one infant and a toddler,for about 5 weeks. Our other cars had issues pop up and an accident so there was the old stand by workhorse that it is. You won't find a more reliable engine. Regardless of listed hp you can get some zip out of your car and enjoy not being a nuisance like the hp hungry mouthbreathers. The factory service manuals can be had for peanuts on eBay. There's a healthy support group. Most of us have found these cars extremely easy to maintain. Cheers

The Holy Grail?

Yeah,I hear ya. But one never knows untill one tries. We scored a Stage I wagon rear quarter in our big load. So maybe one of you nice folks will cut a quarter out for me then.

Couple of you guys work at dealers and have stated you can research parts existing in stock. Anyone reading this with access to Subaru's stock I need p/n: 6511 98500 or 6511 98501 Those are original p/n's and most likely have an updated number. FPM description: Outer Panel Rear LH Would surely appreciate all help with this for my claim on our '79 4WD wagon. 6513 20691 6511 03610 or 6511 0362 6510 42310 6521 80390 6521 80330 or 6521 80331 All body related metal for stage 2 and/or '79 Thanks for any help.

Sounds like it needs a windshield gasket. Get a moderator to move this thread to the Historic Forum. Good luck with it.

I came across the two units today -Stage I and Stage II Stage I comes out the opposite side and from the quick look I gave I'd say they will not flip flop over. Parts manual says "Not interchangable". :-\ Todd-it's your lucky day !

Yes those shims are for the wet liner sleeves. Gotcha now,I must have blipped out on the use of the EA71 .... but that's the way to go for reliabilitly. My friend has 1400 heads off an engine and probably a set off too. But he's had some serious medical issues arise and I haven't heard from him since Monday. :-\ Annoying New England ice/snow show right now. Give me a few more days now before I can get moving on anything.

Thanks Mike ! Too cool.... !!! Cheesecake and drifts ! hot dang!!! I'm swinging a broom around right now ..... trying to keep the 360 bug away ....help !!! help!!!!

I'll double check for you later but I think they have the in/otlets of the wrong side.

If it comes down to your not finding one at all I'll help you out with whatever I can. I think I have two new heads....I know I have at least one good engine that you'd be able to drop in but at this point you'd be smarter to break down and inspect. I do have a new 1400 4-port but as you know I also have a '74 DL 4door that I went thru a lot of trouble to get here so for now I've got save that new block for that car.....but,me being sympathetic toward this ff-1 you might talk me into some sort of deal. Dang that Dennis didn't have that engine. But maybe that guy Dave Powers in SoCal still has his. I'll dig thru my contacts here and try to find his number. There'll be a couple more ATK rebuilds out there,I'm sure. Finding an SOA crate engine will be just about impossible. And,I do have some shims new and used for the cylinder liners. Thought of the moment: Can you take the stock wheels to someone and see if they can somehow cut and rebuild them? I know nothing about doing such so pardon me if I'm way off base. Or at least then they can copy the proper offset onto a more suitable design.

Size looks great ! I'm in for at least two.

Sounds like you found them. Those are cylindrical,right? Round would be a ball. And yes,undo all grounds you can find. Clean the area of contact and all corrosion and use some dielectric grease when you set them back on.

Haven't done it yet but but I've brought the same subject up before. Older Mikunis would be really cool. But my cut off would be the EA71 cars,personally. I can't see the EA81's with that old English/European sports car look under the hood.

That was my first thought. If it's like the EA82 cars it'll be up under the dash above the driver's left knee ...in the US market. The EA81 folks will know. Metalic cylinder - four wires - one will be larger diameter (blue?) ....IF I'm not mistaken. Pull off the connector and check for blued or burnt post.

Are you going to be up in the corner near Morgantown or ?? Not likely that you'll get to meet me this time around but you never know. There's been discussion of a possible trip to see our friends in Frederick MD. Good luck on your trip.

Wow,that's like Chuck freakin' Barris'...... Grampa Munster's hot rod quality. Yummy ! Now get back into the laboratory Igor and make those carbs match in luster !! Chrome plate the air cleaner box? Hmmmmm .....

Wait a minute .... he's been telling everyone its was sitting INSIDE at Carter's .... Either way its sweet but getting $5K for it now will be tough.

Thanks Todd ! Gimme a call sometime if you're up late.
