yup,just gimme some time to get thru May and June should be a lot better.....Just had those clips in my hand the other day,whole package of them.

Couple of things. One,I did sell on eBay,a set of blue door panels that had a VERY nice example of that sticker on it. Two,I was going to contact a board member -SubaruTex and see if his company can produce a contact sheet with all those old decals the FHI and SOA folks stick on before they hit the showroom/lot. "Caution Fan" , E-brake adjustment , "Do not let idle stick...." and the whole lot.. I think guys like you and myself would gladly pay the big ticket for the set up. You know how it is,set up is the cost,running them off is peanuts. And,only about 6 people here would actually buy a set. :-\ Meanwhile,I'll try to carry the camera and see if I can get a nice example for you.

I just had new sets in my hands yesterday. I'll be back at my storage later today or tomorrow and will try to bring a set or two home. Tiny clips,springs,shims,all that cool stuff. Send me your shipping address and notate WHAT IT IS I'm shipping ,your real name and your board name,please and I'll send a set out. Toss me the shipping and a few bucks,we'll work it out later. Just be patient,please. I'm way over my head right now with having to move storage,etc.etc....Thanks

nah,I'm calling rust on the wheels. nice score. look for some sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet merchandise to hit the internet real soon to buff out those cars of yours.

...and then add some pics of that project. Ditching lots of EA81/Gen II Brat parts,Brad. Let me know if you need something. Not much pertaining to the rear half with me,but you never know.

Hey,save the cluster just like it is now,for my restoration.

360 club Ed Parsil founder is a member here but not so active. subaru360nut I believe is his board name.

They'd have done a much better job just showing up at one location here in CT. Pretty sure a couple board members would agree. Should be some pics of the place back in my gallery. ff-1 ,70's Stage I , 70's Stage II ,70's 4WD ,Gen I BRAT ,Hatchbacks ,EA81 wagons ,EA82's ,RX ,XT's ,Legacys -both 90's styles and several stuffed with PARTS FROM SUBARUS FROM THE 360 thru ff-1 thru the 70's and 80's. Even some New Old Stock pieces in a couple. :cool: AND Connecticut strokes the film industry these days with incentives and tax breaks. Sorry guys,close but no cigar. Like I said earlier. Gassed up just now.How about you? Hmm,mine was $3.89 for regular 87. High-test was $4.09.Pretty sure down in Greenwich and Darien it'll be $4.89 or so for 92 octane. Those are towns I make sure I won't have to stop for gas in. I need 17" wheels and all wheel drive on dry pavement 90% of the time? gimme a break.

nipper,you're about 10 years behind several of us who've tried to email,etc.....heck,we even have an SOA guy here , and not the guy who sweeps the floors either. He's very busy,and his dad is ailing last I heard so he's not on here much at all. He knows the deal too. He even owns a Gen I BRAT.....so why don't the other people at Cherry Hill or wherever the heck it is now take notice?? You got lucky and had someone who replied without a form letter,apparently. eMail schmeemail,they don't give a rats arse about us or going backwards with horsepower and housewife magnets like AWD or 17" wheels they DON'T NEED. Not laughing at you but ...... :lol: we've been down this road before.

Wood steering wheel or wood shift knob if it has them. Probably can add some more little bits 'n pieces. Like the rubber retainers for the seatbelts on the mid-pillars. Got a camera to take with you?

Bad timing. Charlie has or had several of those,old,removed from cars,but still good enough to use if no other existed. I'll see if he managed to save any,I'm sure he tucked them away somewhere. If he has one not worth using we'll cut that one for a cross section to match up new stock to.

OK now the real deal begins. We wish you well,and hope for the best. But,at this point you are at the very meaning of the words "basket case". Good luck. Too many projects lay in boxes. I'm sure several older guys here will attest to that. Me,I'm going on my 20th year of my Ducati restoraion. But raising a family is more important. Kids are straight A students. So my MAIN PROJECT is a success. Go get 'em !

Happy Birthday,Ed. !!

Oh gosh,Galen you want the manual I have for $5 rather than that one for $15+ Steve,I probably have another in my buried stock of mannies....don't waste your money ,they show up cheaper than that one you listed.

It's here,I can send it along real soon. Didn't you win that woodgrain vent from me on eBay? I've got that boxed and ready. Send an extra $5 and I'll send that '75 manual along. It's in great shape,BTW. Pardon the hijack.

blah blah blah ..... somewhat cute,but that's where it ends for me. Consider the way the industry has gone and that Subaru is just another cog in the big machine. They ditched their old fuel saving cars, they neglected the vintage owners from the moment they hit big in the 80's, they don't make any effort to support the vintage or enthusiast crowd here unless you're buying STi parts. When they bring back something like a 1600 or 1400 I'll appreciate them showing those cars. Hey Fuji H.I., I dare you to make a dual range on demand 4WD fuel injected 1600 or 1400 for the entire western hemisphere. Punks! Give us what we NEED. NOT what advertising mindwarps us into believing we WANT.

Which 1975 FSM do you have? Mine says 4.125,that's why I originally posted the other thread. MSA-105 page 1-7 check it out. Also,that same manual shows the engines with two port exhaust and mentions the advent of the EA63E for the 4WD on page 4-3 Previous page explains the new two-port heads for 1975.

That's a shot shifter bushing.

good luck. '72-79 vehicles mentioned above. up to '81 for the BRAT

I have NEW gaskets that were just produced within the last two years...or less. We did a group purchase awhile back and had them made up before the mold goes to scrap. To answer your question the same gasket fits sedans and wagons as well as your BRAT. But not the Coupes. You'll see another seller on eBay with them in a package for a lot more than my price. And he's overseas,and who knows when those were made. My remainders are currently going for $60 plus $12 shipping. Contact me through PM or email if you want to get one going your way. I am once again in the middle of moving my storage so please bear with me. I will be all done by June,or should be,so the gaskets will turn up soon. I do not have them handy,but they aren't too buried either. I just have a LOT going on and cannot go searching for them at this time. If you commit to one I'll surely get it to you before the end of May.

You mean those grey front seats I thought I had lined up? :-\

Indeed! Great info and no fluff. Glad you guys had a good time. Got my hands full up here for the next couple of months but once things break open I'm coming down for a romp.

Am I wrong by saying the Stage I manual shift trannies are 4.125 final drive? I knew it wasn't 3.7 but couldn't recall the number. Assumed it was 3.90 like the later years. But according to what I've been reading they seem to be 4.125 Probably why they have that "trucky" feeling.

I will also take the cores I have around for pricing on whatever amount they'll give a discount on. Right now things are a bit crazy as I've been told I need to vacate my rental. One good thing from this is that I'm now having my eyes and hands on parts like the Stage I and Stage II heaters,etc.... Infact,I had the notion today to take them both out....so soon enough I will. Need to get a new rental and hump out the migration. Probably going to be 99.5 % me doing it,like last time,so bear with me over these next 6 weeks or so. Good thing its springtime.:-p At least we have some time to work on this before anyone's toes go numb.

Cool. If I may advise you,please...take the fenders off , remove the foam strip crap that will be found on the back side of the fender where it meets the unibody. You can see the start of that rust that occurs on the top of the fenders on your driver's side.
