You're covered !!! Now we expect to see you at Carlisle. http://www.svvscc.org/newpages/new_hvh_page.htm Hillclimb is early May. Carlisle = mid-May.

Third weekend in May,every year. http://www.carsatcarlisle.com/import/index.asp Cheers

Too cool !! and unfortunately a little too far,for me. Glad you had so much fun. Well,maybe next year. Will we see you at Carlisle,Mike?

Joe,I'm very sorry about your situation. I sure do hope things change for the better,and soon. My friend and I just had lunch earlier and were talking about the whole police/corruption/favoritism,etc. ordeal we live with. I'm in the middle of a little situation here too. Need a police report from an incident which happened over a month ago. Getting the run around...etc...I just know there's a connection issue here where the offender must be related or close to a cop. What you said back there,entirely TRUE and I am presonally extremely proud to say I know you. That took balls,and I appreciate you coming out and saying what you did from your point of view. I commend you and applaud you. Downward spiral,we're circling the drain now. Good health to all and peace in your future.

Noooo,it's not 10 years. There'd be people stealing cars left and right and making their own bill of sale slips. The law was "before 1981" no title is required. Pretty sure they made it 20 years now. 20 years for Classic status,that's for sure. I replied to your other post seeking parts. Check it out. Good luck with it. Might not be the fuel pump. Tank might be gooped up and just not drawing like the '74 I just got that has been sitting. Plenty of Factory manuals cheap on eBay. I'm sure I have at least one '79 I could give up. Read my reply on the other post and git on up here next month when the temps warm up over 50.

No sweat. He's a good guy. I have procrastinated on making an offer on a lot of stuff he hasn't listed yet. Pretty much weeded out the 70's items and going to make an offer on that lot alone. he has a heap more of 80's parts too and I think some Legacy too.

Sorry,I guess I read your post wrong. So,what you mean is that there's a seller offering such lenses,correct? 970autoparts has been a really good guy to deal with.

http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=49973 That's what you need. Enjoy! * Read it first and think it out. Spend a minute or two looking it over with the instructions. You can bang this out quicker than I did. Good luck,and yes,you will smile really big and for a long time when that heat warms your toes.

engine is in the cargo area,but thanks for offering. Son changed his mind.....mentioned it,started raising the humidity in the house....sharpening chisel.

Well,thanks Jerry...I've called you a God before and I'll surely keep that impression going. Geez,I'm kind of weak in the gut right now. Just looked over the photos from the first post. That's certainly a VERY workable piece of machinery. As for the west coast trip....going to need to work on it. Wasn't too thrilled about my son overhearing the whole conversation and then telling me he'd rather not fly out west.....:-\ . So,with that and knowing the wife's stance on flying these days....going to have to sharpen the chisel and swing the hammer more swiftly to make this happen. stay tuned

Not to me. You keep the bodystyle going and be realistic about functionality. Screw automatics unless you need to sit in traffic. No biggie,it's a rare bird and certainly vintage at this point. For some time now my feelings have been that we need to subdivide the Historic Forum into Vintage pre-80 (Gen I Brat included) and vintage EA81. Maybe now we can kick it around. Not trying to offend,but we've added everything from Vanagons (again,not poking at you,etc.) to Vendors,Trail runs,beer runs,etc..... so one more little change shouldn't be too big a deal....I hope. We'll see what the "Vintage Resistance" squalks about. Oh,I am the vintage resistance....nevermind.:-p ok,back on subject... Dress it up! You can always put stock wheels on if you hear enough noise from the .....whatever they are.

Stage I is different from Stage II by virtue of one little stinkin pipe being at a different angle. Same location,different exit angle. There are two p/n's for the Stage II. One is for Stage II 1977 and 1978. And one is for '79. The FPM shows them NOT being interchangable. Why? I'm not sure right now but will investigate. So,if the '79 is different I'll need one of those,one of the Stage II '77-8,and at least two of the Stage I. So I'm up to 4 now.

Good for him.

Whatever we find count me in for three.

:lol: Thanks Skipper !! Hey,there's good sized pickerrel (sp?) in that river. Bring a pole and hook a monster. My son caught one a couple of years ago.

First two weekends in March are out. Third weekend ...that Friday is my B'day...not sure but most likely skip that weekend. Still need a little more time to nail down a good date. Thinking first weekend in April might be better. But,I'd go for one of the last two weekends in March as long as the family plans work out. At this time of the year it might be worth the money to stay in a motel. I've camped at the Batso campground which is part of the State land. It's around back of the area we start off at (Ranger station of Rt. 206 in Atsion). Plenty of maps available. http://www.pineypower.com/geninfopbpg10.html Lodging: http://www.pineypower.com/lodging.htm Offroading : http://www.pineypower.com/offroading.htm And its all part of the Wharton state Forest : http://www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/parks/wharton.html Hope you can make it. Should be a much better year for us. I'm guessing we're going to make the run at least two times this year,maybe three or ?? We'll be at the Carlisle Import show the third weekend in may and will probably make another dash through the Barrens on the way home like last year.

Welcome and Cheers ! Paul

Yes,come on over. We've had folks come down 11 hours from Maine. Itching bigtime !! Weather typically bottoms out right about now.

Skip,damned if you don't look as devilish as the little fellow on the hood.... pardon the switcherooney but I just happened to have a curiousity about our old pal just this AM and did a quick Google. Obviously he's gotten shy here not being on since sometime in 2006.... ....but apparently he's into a bi-plane now. Could not find him listed with his said employer but I didn't bother looking too hard there for fear of guys showing up at my door in black suits and sunglasses. Well,again,sorry,but that guy does have a dedicated website for the BRAT and all..... but kind of glad he's elsewhere now. Let's see those BRATs !!

I've got you,Dave,Melissa,Keith,and I think Jon on my cell phone. I'll be sure to call when the blessed day arrives should you not reply here.

Unfortunately you won't find it over here in this forum. You need to check the Older Generation of Subarus and maybe post in the Subaru Stuff Wanted forum as well. This is the Historic Forum. Dedicated to the pre-80's car for now. Exception being the '80 and '81 Brat and some folks with 1600's who stop in. This is one heck of a task,to me. If you do it I'll pay for a set even though I own every FPM,FSM,pricing guide,and several other pieces of dealer/service dept. literature from the begining of SOA in 1968 thru the mid 80's and then some. My books are old,heavy,and moldy smelling which can give me a wicked migraine/sinus headache. So far CD's haven't done that to me. Well,there was that time somebody put on a Pearl Jam CD and I got sick ......blargh!!!!! :-p

Yes,I need a place to work first. Also need to invest in some equipment to do it right or work with someone. I've made some really cool ducts and cowls/scoops but they aren't a real serious product. I'm still learning but when i get space to work things will really start to happen. So far I've screwed around and made some cool tube stock,rod stock,flat sheet stock,some interesting shapes including really cool superlight-weight funnels,some door panels from my friend's Lotus Elan....

oh yeah early april is probably a reasonable guestimate...

G-man,it's for a stage II 77 or 78 4WD wagon only. enjoy!
