  1. That's what I needed to know,thanks. Yes,I'm aware of needing the hotter cam,etc.
  2. The real question here is - what are you going to do with these vehicles when you are all done with them? Will you folks look for the closest yard to dump them all in or actually make some sort of effort to market these? Good luck. Too bad you folks aren't taking advantage of Connecticut's tax breaks which has a flood of film industry production happening all over our little state. We just sent many 70's Subarus to the crusher this past winter that were all in one location. There's still a few more scattered that need to be crushed if you folks find yourselves doing any work out our way.
  3. Thierry, Up here,come 1974,Subarus began with the squared bumper (with rubber end pieces) and 5mph shock absorbers. Was it the same down there? If you look at the pics one guy posted of three Coupes in the weeds you can clearly see the difference. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=86251
  4. Tanks all yuze gize 45 for those counting. Cranked up plenty of Ramones at work. Guinness on standby but with my work schedule and nasty sleep pattern (or attempt at one) I need a good night's sleep before I can drink these days.
  5. Haven't registered yet,but that's not a big deal. Friend of mine might bring his '67 Lotus Elan this year. Or the Alfa GTV6 he turned over to his sister. Outside chance we can talk his dad into bringing this beauty: 1952 MG TD Bring whatever,just leave the attitudes aside in the bushes by the gate.
  6. Looking to maybe have some fun with one of the d/c setups I have. What's been done with dual carbs?
  7. Hey,keep this one out of jail,will ya?? Plenty of parts here too,but I am probably a good month away from begining the great purge of 2008. For sure I have bumpers - probably even new or rechromed I bought.
  8. From first sight these look good for me: From orange coupe pictured first: Grill and/or the "Subaru" badge on the grill. Front bumper if straight Chrome window trim if not pitted. Rear windshield glass White Coupe: (looks to be a '74 or '75) Driver's side mirror Seats **** Even if you just got the white center portions with the little "star" pattern in it. But it most be 100% Third coupe looks rough,but see what the interior looks like,please. I'm not rich but I do take care of people for their efforts. Nice part of NC you're in. Might be down to the VIR track later this year which is right on the NC border. By that time the weeds should have the cars covered,so let me know if you can help me out. If you do try to make one of those a runner I can help you out with engines,etc.. Would be fun to make a sleeper out of one of them.
  9. Good luck. I own a '73 Coupe Would pay for some parts. Contact me if you actually make some moves on these.
  10. 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.
  11. Third weekend in May,every year. http://www.carsatcarlisle.com/import/index.asp Cheers
  12. 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?
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
