Here's a tease to get them warmed up. This is from my own factory PM's. Good luck with that.

Hey, I need the name and number of that German name place off rt. 61 Diewechter??? If you're going north on 61 it's on the right. Probably a few (5?) miles north of rt. 78 and cabella's,etc....

My wishes: Faust in Allentown,although I can be persuaded to blow by it if I get a negative report (Subarus were across the new highway being built which was two feet of mud last time we were there). they had a Gen I BRAT and some other oldies,not a bad yard at all. the Rt. 61 places (and those just off 61) then Harry's Thinking early April. Kick it around.

Must not stop by thet much,eh??? We fella,if you ever see this maybe consider the Carlisle show. again...nice BRAT !!! especially for CT

working on it...

Glad you wanted to be in charge. But seriously,I'll do my best to help out with money or effort.

I'll pass along the info to wagonsonly. He needs an engine kind of bad. edit,just did....he should see it later. I'll be down that way pretty soon. Just got a JDM tranny from a place in Philly. Might make the rounds west on 78, up 61 -81 - to Harry's with all the possiblities along the way.

YOUR the GUY !!! Well,with several of us interested can you post a seperate thread with a picture so we can verify which style it is? I can't help but think that you got the one I was trying to buy. He didn't want to budge on the price back when my money was tight as a frog's you know what.

Good luck!!!!!!!

Seeing no reason at this time why I wouldn't be there. Good year for earplugs? Most likely going to be a Friday arrival this year. Not sure about entire family or just Luc coming. More goodies to give away this year,for sure. Nobody got into the lobster ravioli so pardon me for wolfing down a heap of them before we left. Anyone who knows me well will tell you I hate wasting good food. :cool: So this year I'll come up with something more people actually will eat. Always like having something unique. Might show up with some West Indian vegetarian and some Hungarian meat products. Both ends of the spectrum. Clotter and reamer.

Cool,I sure will,Dave.

Hey,if you zoom in you can see the X-Terra still stuck there. I think I saw one of my mudflaps too. :-p Yes,we're anxious to get in the woods. We'll be seeing you soon,I just know it. No sence waiting for a group as long as we have at least two vehicles. There's usually a third guy who jumps in....we'll see who pops out of the cabin and who stays in the cave. Luc says hi. He's asking and asking........ :cool:

Stage I 4WD !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry,but that is NOT a 1978. Please check and see if its a '75

Rustfree turbo wagon up here if you want to talk to me. Currently upstate awaiting headgasket job.

Still trying to make it work but that weekend so far doesn't look good for me.

Hey bud,saw you on the Merrit/Wilbur Cross Pkwy. on Tuesday around 2:30 or so. You said you were a USMB member..... I've seen you before,coming down Rt. 8 if I'm correct. Nice BRAT. Is that the one from an older guy in Trumbull? Oh,your BRAT was blowing some dark smoke...just a bit,but I think you were going up hill....might want to check that distributor/timing. Watch for those plastic silencers melting chunks into the carb. too. Sorry I couldn't chat at the time. Hope to see you around. Paul

Right on,Mike !!! Hope to see you again sometime....like maybe VA Beach or better yet,OBX !!!!

1979 manual shift cars that are not 4WD According to the FPM it does NOT interchange with those previous. I have no idea why. Also the older rads. apparently do not interchange forward into '79.

It's up to the poster to notify a moderator if changes are needed. So far I think one person in all this time has contacted me to make a change. This thread is nice and trim,or it was. It's kept that way for ease of printing. So please understand if you see one of us clean up and toss posts like this one out. Questions are fine but let's try to keep this post trim and ask questions to the moderators of this forum through PM's. Thanks very much for your understanding. If you see you can help people out then I'd get to sending PM's and/or emails if I were you.

Bad weekend for us.

We are. Will try to get a list of good weekends and bad weekends to work from.

PM sent. My friend Charlie says these seats are outstanding. I'll get plenty of pics later this week.

Would you like to buy some of those exact seats in really nice condition? Came from this car: Should be going back there later this week. I can verify condition and get pics. Another low mileage car.

You mean 3.9 ?? There weren't many "5's" around these parts at all. Funny to see that old style tranny come out of that car. With only 30-some-odd K on the tranny I'm going to use this one to see how easy or not it is for myself. Luckily I have Charlie who,like "maudsland" lived the whole deal with swapping 1100/1300/1400/1600 stuff around. I don't see too much difficulty but I have been warned by Charlie that it is NOT drop in and go by any means.

We just crushed a GLF-5 which up here was a rather rare car. It was a 1980 with a 1600,top starter fivespeed. Sure is one small tranny/diff. and we kept all the linkage to try to fit it up to my '74 DL 4door. Most people think once 1980 came here in the USA that only the Brat continued with the 1600,external voltage regulator,and top center starter. We didn't get a lot of the 1600's after 1980 up here. At that time most everyone wanted the bigger engine. Does anyone have a 1980,81,or 82 FPM handy? I'd like to know if that tranny is like the FE fivespeed of '78 and '79. Several cars in the early 80's are designated as "FE" or fuel efficient through the early 80's but do not carry the FE badge. I packed most of my FPM's away,so thanks for any help.
