Glad to hear the kid and dad are doing ok on yet another insano-Suba-retrieval. ff-1 !!!!

Yes,ladies and gentlemen,they have arrived.

The body of '72-'77 Stage I cars has and indentation,or crease running through the fender,door(s),and rear quarter. Stage II has the turn signal rim on the outer corner.Like this: Here's a Stage I beauty from down under.The GSR! Sorry to hijack.

Sounds right to me.Back then cars ran a little longer before the new production year.My '78 was made in the summer of '78. Let me know if that rear bumper ever becomes available.

Looks it to me.That's '77 stage II or an early '78. If the rear bumper is slightly rounded with shorter bumper ends than the later '78 and '79 then that's the style I'm looking for. edit:just checked again,that's them! That makes it a definite '77 or early '78.After May of '78 I think it is,they switched to the more squared bumper with longer endcaps. Dammit! just looked down and saw I'm wearing the Flappy's shirt!!!! aaaaaarrrrrgggg!!!!!

Bump for the viewing.....talk to you all soon.

Derek from PRP called and said the windshield gaskets are in and will be on their way to my place. Sit tight and I'll be in touch.

You might want to take the "oil sump pipe O ring challenge". Pain to get off most of the time. Old oil doesn't look too hideous.I've had some that were running fine looked that just like that.

Hey,I like that description alot! You guys have to drive around in an old 1600 with no power anything for awhile.Then when you get into the otherwise slightly lame EA82 you'll feel like you went from a tractor to a late 60's Caddy. Yeah,lots of people rag on the EA82 but it's been mighty kind to me. SPFI is fine enough for this poorboy.Add the D/R fivespeed and life is good.

That's it!!,my Flappy's Print Shop shirt just became a shop rag.:-p Nice score and welcome to the FrEaK house.

Gee,thanks If that's the case then why keep this thread going??????? Sometimes people DO search and find it too time consuming for too little of a reward. Here's the reward from the exact search you just suggested to me: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/search.php?searchid=338063 Look familiar? Like I was going to say,let's keep this thread going and add all you can that pertains to the swap then it'll be THE thread to keep. Good day.

Can we archive this thread? I know I'm going to be doing the same swap so I'm going to print this when it's time. Good thread,good info.

Awsome. And a Ducati 996 to boot!!!!!!!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh.......I wish I was able to break away today. Beautiful weather for parts hounding!! Talk to you later.

You too can have fun like this.:-p

Ended up wasting the center exhaust section on the touring wagon,but it was worth it. My car is making more noise than any band I ever played in. :lol: But it's holding together nicely,so far.I'm surprised it didn't take any real damage underneath except the exhaust.Well,the right rear kind of cambers out now....and the left rear is kind of squashed....and the dents on the doors and fender.....but hey,I got the plant life growing on the bumper off easily enough. Gave it a good washing and it's back in action as a daily abuser. I'm up and down about another run in November.I'll have to see what happens.Work is DEAD slow and I might be laid off soon. IF we do go in Nov. I'll get an earlier start,leave with fuel,and not stop three times like this past weekend.AND,I'll hopefully not have to leave PB early too.Don't forget though,it'll be light out early,but dark really so plan accordingly. Ciao!

Yikes,you gave the board five hours and one minute before you got upset??? Personally,my '78 does 90mph with the same engine and tranny you have.It also gets around 30mph right now but does even better when tuned up and no exhaust problems. Good luck.I don't recall any other gearing from the 70's available.If you find an FE tranny and want to go FWD only then you're all set.You'll get the mpg and go a little faster.

Cool time,great conditions,just too short! Next time,MORE time. YOU CAUGHT ONE OF THOSE LIZARDS ??!!!!!!????!! Have to hear how,please. We hit the Shamong Diner just up the road,went back with the clock against us so we attempted fishing for a few mintes then blew out of there.Made good time going back straight through NYC.Made the party JUST in time. I'll have to see what we can do for November.I'm all for it,but can't confirm just yet. Gas is CHEAP!!! in south Jersey. Thanks again for the tug out!! And thanks for the pictures.I never even took out my camera.:-\ My passenger rear wheel now sits noticably cambered out.Car looks well beaten,so we completed the mission. I also have a stuck caliper,I believe,but it was most likely already bad.Car made all sorts of noises and vibrations but was smooth at 65-75+ mph going up the Pike and on the Hutchinson/Merrit pkwys.

OK,checked in for the last time.See you there unless you're square. If you have my phone number please don't call untill closer to 7AM,thanks.

I'll check the computer before I leave in the AM if you guys want to exchange numbers.Otherwise see you at the diner.

Nice score!!!!!!! Can you scan the original purchase document for us? I think it'd be pretty cool to look one over. Good luck with it.

I'll try to get Andrew to go,maybe another guy too. Andrew,if you see this.......GO!

I received glass in a plain box,nothing special just a little padding.It survived.

I'll see what happens but as of right now I'd have to say you might have to contact PRP to see if they're stocking any.They should.The salesman said they'd probably stock at least a half dozen.

I need to leave there to come home around 4PM the latest. Is anyone else coming from the north?Especially CT or the NY/CT line region.It'd be nice to have a backup,just incase. So what's our count at? 3?? Maybe svxpert can stop by or maybe so other will chime in now that we're so organized. To those interested but still skeptical,it's fairly light duty sandy trails.We won't punish your car,but it'll have oportunities to "exercise" it's rite.No disasters yet in many runs made.
