Thanks Shawn,you're the best ! Rather than spout excuses.....still waiting to hear back about it being able to run or not. Also just got some credit card crap sorted out. Kids,work,no sleep .....ok so I WILL spout excuses

Oh,now I see what the heck you were talking about in that PM "Gimme shock treatment" .... I love it ! Here's my issue with the new stock. The top rearward corner of the front doors. They come to a square corner and factory seals have a nice molded corner to fit. Given that I'm going for as close to 100% as possible with my '78 wagon and '73 Coupe I'm going to try to use some of what Charlie D has laying around firstly. Most likely I'm going to buy at least one cars worth of seals from this new stock for the '79 that I'll probably just abuse for a few years untill it splits in half.:-\ Also,while at Charlie's I started chopping pieces of various seals and gaskets. Hopefully I can shop around and get some really excellent matches.

hmmmm,let me check. Meanwhile he hasn't called back about trying to start it again and see if it'll run somewhat. Can always use 2nd gear with the starter to get it loaded. Thanks guys! I'll buy a freakin tow bar,that's plenty easy enough swing. Man,I know I should fly out and haul it back but there's such little spare time around here lately. I'll post new info as fast as I can.

Mike, I'm holding off for the moment because there's a ton of decent weatherstripping from 1971 through 1979 at my friend's place.

Car in Cour d' Alene,needs to get to CT or near NYC drop off. 1974 DL four door , ran when parked in the springtime but has a knock. Manual shift so it can be 2nd gear/starter engaged moved somewhat with a healthy battery,if needed. Currently sitting covered with snow. Car either needs to be transported or stored kind of soon. The owner has a really nice tow dolley for $900 so if there's someone willing to do it I'd cover the dolley and pay gas up front to have that car and dolley brought here. Or,you buy the dolley if it pleases you. I'll even donate $100 towards it for you , and gas $ of course. Or,storage untill I can get regular transport for it. I'd rather not have to buy a tow dolley right now,but if it works all around I'll do it and turn it over or tuck it away. Guy like me can get himself in serious trouble with one of those things hanging around.:-\ 1974 is really in great shape as far as the body goes. Bumpers look crisp and clean. Would rather see if here in great shape than dinged up,salted to death from coming across the top of the USA in wintertime,like my '73 did. All respect to Pat and his effort that escapes words but if there's an option to store it SAFELY untill spring I'd be all for that. Transport can be arranged fairly quickly. One guy was just by at that same location on Wed. and offered to take it on his next run,probably in 2-3 weeks. If that's the case I probably don't need any help. But I haven't locked that down yet. Thanks for any help.

Wow,really nice base to start from!! That rear bumper....I most copy it!! Or find one,but that's unlikely. Not many of those left. Enjoy,and yes,there's more parts out there than you'd think for this car. But of course,some items are scarce. No problem for brake/tune-up parts,etc.

No sweat,headgaskets show up all the time on eBay. No longer stocked by Subaru of America,but some are still floating around. Most dealers know nothing about this car. That's where this cool little community comes in. Enjoy!

Same here. But if you lift the hood there should be a sticker with the info on it. Also,engine has a raised lettering "EA71" up by the distributor. If its not an EA71 1600 then someone did a swap with an '81. If the starter is located at dead center top of the bellhousing it's the EA71 or first edition of the EA81 1800 which was a one year deal,pretty much,with the top starter. After that the EA81 has the starter located on the upper driver's side of the bellhousing. Enjoy!

Charlie has a new spot just down the road!! That car will be there for you,or someone else. Your car is certainly worth keeping.

Yeeeeeeehaaaaaa!!! Looks sweet. When can I drive it? Good luck with it. Going for undercoating?

:headbang: Hotshot!!!!!!!

Ahh,now I see the two you're talking about. More will show up,you'll see. Don't be surprised if there's one up here in the Boston area. Rumors circulating ......:cool:

Not enough room to store my own crap..... But I'm working on it. I was a little surprised at Charlie's rather high price too. He was covering himself incase he didn't have one sitting around. And,he didn't,so he would have had to pull the tranny for you,etc.. He's a great guy and has taken care of me extremely well. (uncracked dashboard for my '73 Coupe,etc.etc......) Somewhere around here there's a picture of your boy with my kids at Carlisle....it'll show up again. Happy motoring!

Would you like to drive to CT to pick one up? PM if interested.

Glad you got yourself through that. Hope the tranny works well for you.

Can we see the back side of that alternator? I just noticed that is says 150 on the box,so not 360 alt.,I think. But that green label goes WAY back to the 360 era.

THe "accordian" thing is a duct from behind the dash. Looks Subaru to me. I'm sending a PM with some offers. that rad. looks Ea71 to me too. just scored one from a rad. shop's old inventory for $35 so I'll offer you the same. That's at least a benchmark so if someone wants it more they know what to offer you. PM coming

You turkey!!! Good to see you back. Should be making a run down to the Barrens real soon. Family trip to PA over the turkey weekend,so maybe I'll show the wife and daughter what the mom's Legacy wagon can do to get dirty.And if we doo,I'll give you a call.....even though you're never home. Is that Gen I Brat still up the road at that shop on 206?? Hagerty's? Harrity's? something like that... Current needs: running,reliable EA82T and s/r tranny for it Hope to see you soon.

Stage II dual headlights. Mid 70's shock absorber. Alt. looks like a 360 part with the green label. A/C pulley. Radiator looks like the EA71 rad. I just picked up. Yeah,those Brat rear seatbelts..... !!!!

Can you show a picture to verify that?

Fixing bodywork and getting a re-upholstery job is not modification. Same for adding a decent set of Sport Mags from just a couple years later than your car was made. For the record,you would have a hell of a time restoring any unibody car from the bodywork standpoint. So,you just get it made solid by someone with some sense of craftsmanship. It won't look like hell and who's ever going to point at it and say "that's not original sheetmetal!!" ?? Your car is way more solid than MANY that have been successfully restored.

Early Jackman centercap.....I'm about 99% sure on that. Anyone else?

Thanks guys. Just did a quicky clean up with some very mild detergent and water. Took the pic while wet. Charlie saved that Coupe dash because HE is a hardcore Subaru freak and like myself,had all those cars as a young man. Charlie rules. Gotta hook him up bigtime for this one.

Thank you very much.

Sure,when there's so much of a herd you can spare some. An ff-1? Not in my opinion. And,in the end,that's all it is,my opinion. There's a big exception to your rule. Firstly,the ff-1,too rare. Secondly,our beloved 70's cars are quickly disappearing.Or in our case up here,pretty much gone.
