Hi everybody, Called and got the return message. Derek from PRP says to call him back in about 10 days for a better update but he figures they should be in soon.

You're beautiful! I'll dig up what I can for it when I get more settled here.Our stuff is all in storage and we're waiting to sell this place and move before bringing all the boxes back,etc. I'm totally into preserving this car so either way I'll be happy to send you what I can so you can maybe have some fun with it. In the stock that we have there's things like light lenses,heater cover,probably tune up parts,etc. and I think there's grill.Don't forget,these are BRAND NEW parts still in boxes and wrappers. Hopefully that wagon gets buffed out someday.

Red Lion diner is the first one I hit on my way down.....so that's the one. Be there at 9AM,please If you don't make it there then go to the ranger station and just park on the grass to the left of the entrance driveway and we'll meet there before 10:30,give folks a few minutes,then head in for an hour or so. It helps if folks can bring lunch and just take a break in the woods. But if you have to leave,go for it.You might have a hard time finding us after,so maybe score a map at the ranger station. The topographical map is a little costly,like around $15,but I got one and now consider myself nearly an expert on the place. Just can't screw up with the topo.And I'm a map freak. JSYK that other diner probably has cuter waitresses but they have a small parking lot that fills up fast,as we've noticed around breakfast and lunch.

gee,I wish I'd thought of that Hey,here's the latest.Sorry,but delays take time you know. :-p THIS SATURDAY!!!! OCTOBER 14th the day after Friday the 13th! You are invited to join me in the land of the infamous Jersey Devil!!! Woooooo,scary!!!! As of this moment I will have our '89 touring wagon.I'm going into this EXPECTING THE WORST.The car has rot,loosing the carrier bearing makeshift support I put on.Gonna need all the duct tape and coat hangers I can muster up. Meet at the Red Lion Diner?? Intersection of Rt. 206 and rt.70....or down the road there's a diner closer to the ranger station at Atsion WHERE WE MEET BEFORE GOING INTOTHE WOODS.There's a huge grassy area to park on and put the hoods up,etc. wait a bit for the gang to show up. Everyone should bring a tow strap,maybe a shovel,a board,etc. for the possibility that you'll get a little stuck in sand.Nobody is going to call you a nerd for being well prepared. My son and I might camp out the night before.I'll update that info near the end of the week.Anyone else? It's only a little over 2 hours from Bridgeport,CT as long as you leave early. Wharton State Forest-Atsion ranger's station Rt. 206 in Atsion NJ if you can't make the diner..........10 AM -10:30AM Email or PM for cell phone # exchange.

Yes,it's different. Put the car back in the barn and I swear one of us,hopefully ME,will get it. :) Patrick,I've got lots of NEW parts for the ff-1 if you do want to get serious about it.Nothing is handy right now so I can't promise anything.I can tell you that there was a whole carb. somewhere in that mess of new old stock we bought.And there's a carb top and parts and probably a rebuild kit too.There's a lot of ff-1 parts that went to Charlie who chipped in on the lot.He's got a '71 wagon like yours but he put a 1300 into it a long time ago. I'll talk to you some more about it soon.

Maybe a western market GL marker from '72-75.It looks to be the same shape and location from my first view.Just all orange. Not going to be easy but there's got to be a couple out there still.Don't give up just yet.

Hi everybody! Yeah,that's my '78.thanks Jerry for posting those nice finds you came across!! That winch in front has been redone and I should have shown it off by now. It's now yellow,like the original winch that was on it untill a couple days before I got the car. Good luck with the new purchase!! Plenty of help for you,and some parts too. I used to take mine to construction sites for awhile.Gets respect there.Fully functional vintage money maker.:-p

Probably not for us.

Yeah,for 4WD unfortunately that's a case splitter if it's the main shaft seal.Looking at the manual makes me want to rip one apart.Sooner or later I'll be needing mine done too. I'm pretty sure you can search for an '80 1600 4WD too,if you search online.Just have to make sure it's the top starter.

Yeah,but I'm thinking we might not be able to do it untill the following weekend,let me check. That being the case the date would be Saturday October 21st. Would that work for you guys? Nothing set in stone yet,so let me check about the 14th and if that works for us I hope it does for you guys too. 14th or 21st Matt,Dave,other PA people??? Mike in NJ? Frank? CT people?? NY guys??

I was going to ask but it seems you answered.....yours is 4WD already,right? I'm pretty sure Todd meant that if you have the old four speed FWD tranny that an upgrade would be the 5spd FWD from a GL,or Coupe,etc.

This is one of those RARE finds in the northeast.The kind I used to get before I got old and responsible. .....well,old anyway.

You scored!! Hey,I got outbid for your mudflaps......I'll get that engine before winter. Good luck with the new baby!

Time-serts are awsome for this application. You install the insert much like a heli-coil but you now have a permanent thread and can use the proper stud over and over.

It's sandy trail riding.Sometimes the trails have high centers but we never really have a problem.You can always park your car and ride along with someone too.

It'll likely be a somewhat short notice from me as to when we are going. My son's birthday is coming up and we definitely want to go around then and before Thanksgiving. You folks are welcome to post your prefered dates too. Saturdays are best. Holy dukey it's October as I write this!!!! :-\ How about two weeks from now?

Anthony,these are without question,the most rare of all Subarus left in the USA or otherwise. We know of only three or four running or close to running here in the USA.

What kind of troubles is the Brat having?

I'll check on that for you.I also own a '73 1400. Be sure to ask me again in I forget.

Of course he got lucky.He's a Vintage Subaru owner!! Gotta beat the ladies off you with a stick,they swarm you so badly.

None of us have,because they have not arrived yet. Should be in the next couple of weeks.

Camp,drive the trails,have fun.

Brian,you're not the only one waiting,so don't get the understanding that I'm holding out,etc. for leverage or any other reason. I've explained the situation several times now.It's rather unsettling to you,I know,but everyone has to wait on that stuff.We still have not gotten the three of us together again to go over the parts and they are all in storage so my family can have a more decent household.Hang tight,please.You should have let me know you were in NY,that was an excellent opportunity for you to come by,and for me to have an extra set of hands to get the stuff out and go through it. Paypal account has cash so if you can go I'll pay up front this time.

Will pay: $5 for the interior rear door pull handles $30 for rear seat backrest IF it's not torn,etc. or beaten especially on the backside (upper vinyl portion) Please let me know if the carpets are worth the effort.I really need the front but would consider all,even the rear cargo area if they're really nice. More people coming to view our place so hopefully it sells soon and I'll take care of your needs from the NOS stash. How's the steering wheel?

Definitely the last run for the mighty touring wagon,unless some miracle occurs. Could be cool to waste it there,grab the engine and some goodies,and get a ride home from someone.
