Another member with a convertible

Two companies....one out west and one here in the east. -
so my exhaust rusted out....LOUD
moosens replied to hatchsub's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Wow! Talk about Karma :-p Uhh,weren't we just talking about loud exhausts. I'd say you cursed yourself that day. I have to laugh because you told me then that you were fairly unfamiliar with Subarus having loud exhausts. I was thinking you were the only one on the planet. Welcome to the club. Glad you're all set now. -
Yo , give up a good report. Sorry,can't make it soon. But I do think September will yield a good weekend. Plan is to take the son,camp,hit Pine Barrens,and the Yards of PA up 61 to Harry's and the northern run home,probably I-84. Friday night to Sunday afternoon/evening.....when Harry's closes. AND,probably in the '78 or '79 if I register it like I want to,soon. Have fun,safe ride.

:slobber: ... infinity........ Wow. I have a hard time finding the appropriate words. You were blessed,consider that to be fact. Oh well,so it's got a single carb. We'll forgive you. You've got one sweet little buzzbomb there. We had plenty of them -the 1400's- and although problematic with the headgaskets they are one of the greatest "Fun Per Dollar" vehicles I've ever owned. I should have a complete bonnet cable assy. for you. Make your list,communicate with me,and I'll do my best for you. Power door locks ???? !!!!!!!!!! That'll be one item I can't help you with. Can't recall when we fist saw those here but it wasn't in our EA71 cars,not any that we ever had,let alone an EA63 car.!! Man,I'm so tickled,sorry but I probably have a million things to say but just can't. Congratulations once again!

'74 - '75 2 door coupes?
moosens replied to TheSubaruJunkie's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Yes,from '72 on there's a Coupe or Hardtop of some sort. Or a 2door sedan from '70 on up several years. If you can find a 1300,you'd be the man. No 25+ year laws? Could you get by with a '78 FE? My '73 Coupe is back there in my gallery. Andrew's '73 wagon too. -
Oh ok,and I'm not supposed to get excited. chrome covers? !! You're killing me. Japanese collector?? One dollar? I just hit the floor,call the men in the white coats! If we had a Vintage Subaru newpaper this'd be front page material.
-
Ignoring you....... Seriously,I know there's several of us very excited about your steal of a deal. Pics please!!!!!

Those copper rings are shims.They came in various thickness. I have some NOS of those so keep it in mind. Most oldtimers here say because the 1300 was punched out to make the 1400 that the walls of the cylinders were just too thin and allowed more heat to transfer to the heads. The 1300 has the same liners. Same for the 1000 and 1100. But yes,the twin carbs don't help the heat. I'm not 100% sure about this yet but I might just be installing a 1600 in my '73 GL1400 Coupe Does the GSR have a fivespeed?

Rotordyne introduces Gen 1 weatherstrip
moosens replied to RenaissanceMan's topic in Products for your Subaru
I couldn't see the weatherstripping on the website. -
Score of the Year! GSR = disk front brakes,twin carbs If it is rotting out you still have one excellent parts car. I'd buy the twin carb set up as long as its complete for way more than what you paid for the car. BTW,please help me out and send some pictures. Mostly want the twin carb set up and all the brackets,linkage,etc. associated with it. And in turn,keep in mind that I have some new old stock for early 70's Subarus.

Who'd be interested in buying a copy of this?
moosens replied to moosens's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
That's a front air dam. Just curious to see who'd spend for one. I can't jump into producing these just yet,but I'm going to try my best to learn to make,and produce copies of this air dam and assorted items. It's going to take some time and machinery before I can really get started. In the meantime I'm looking into established businesses doing the same to do some brain picking,maybe shop out a batch of them. Also have a friend who is a writer and editor for a sailing magazine who is due to go visit a high end sailing products mfg. to write an article. He's going to score lots of info for me.Maybe even bring me along. Where I work I see the process,but I need to see how I can take a small time approach to it in a smaller setting. -
Headgaskets tend to soak along the lower edge when old Subarus sit a long time. But I doubt you'll see any problems,just keep an eye on the headgaskets too. Consider getting a good engine cleaning done and that'll make it easier notice any leaks. The Gen I Brat you have is becoming more and more accpeted in the world of vintage automobiles,there's no doubt about that. I hope you enjoy it and keep it healthy. Exhaust systems tend to rot out where condensation is an issue,and the car sits for too long. Probably not a problem for you out there. Expect the brakes to be rough,you know the deal. But most of all,show us some pictures! We just did our second group purchase of windshield gaskets. For around $50-60 total,shipping included,we all have security from leaks.And they all leak eventually regardless of climate,location,etc. I'm pretty sure I can swing one more out of the remainders I have here if you need one. Give it a good walk around and make a "Wish List" and please add yours to our "Wish List" in the Historic Forum,right here: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=39656 Good luck with it!

NE (NJ, CT, NY, PA, DE, MD) Pine Barrens, NJ Trail Run Sat. Aug 18th
moosens replied to njdrsubaru's topic in Off Road
Oh yeah,that's why I always mention that people bring dust protection. I'll always remember us running in the back of the group that wicked dry day we were there.Cough! Cough! Well,we absolutely NEED to go down there. My son and I will probably camp overnight Firday. We might ask our neighbor to join us in his lifted Ford. -
Sounds like a plan to me. Thanks for the report!
-
Can we get a report from Harry's,please? At least maybe over the next couple of weeks,if possible. I'm mostly looking for items for my '92 - with '93 features- Legacy wagon. So if someone goes by soon,please let me know what you see there. Would like to find a nice grey interior to pick pieces from,for starters. Would love to meet up with the usual enthusiasts,maybe even hit the Off Road park there too if I can come down with something 4WD.

A few pics from Deals Gap (The Dragon)
moosens replied to Turbone's topic in Non Soob Cars and Bikes Discussion
Hey Rob,just saw this while checking out the newer forums.. Yeah,that'd be me. Infact....I'm fighting my former comments that I'd never have another Ducati as my commuter. But,the Monster sure makes it a tough decision. Easy to work on,like a Subaru. And with Italian valve adjustments you need that easy access because you're doing it a lot. And,the Monster is the Harley of all other bikes. the typical owner instantly adds something to set it apart from stock and individualize it. I don't know.Part of me wants to go yuppie and get a BMW K1100 or 1200LT for commuting and wife. My back is telling me no more sport bikes. But no,I'm not ready for a Hawg. Buell,maybe. Wouldn't mind either of the two current hot sellers for Ducati. The Hypermotard and the 1098. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :-p http://www.ducati.com/en/bikes/my2007/ModelPage.jhtml?family=Hypermotard&model=HM1100S-08 http://www.ducati.com/en/bikes/my2007/ModelPage.jhtml?family=Superbike&model=SBK1098STRICOLORE-07 1098: Hypermotard: Shoooooey,boy! That dang Ducati done took off into the woods.... Tought to resist. -
