10k = his problem,not the buyer's. Looks like a bit-chin project though. There's a complete fiberglass sheel (Gen II Brat) in Mass. that we've seen.That must have taken some time to make,so that guy thinks his is worth a fortune too.Very nice work.Time is money.But bailing out of a project like these usually costs you a good chunk.

I'll try to take part.Nice roads up that way especially along the CT/NY line. Andrew?? Who's that guy in Georgetown/Ridgefield/Rt. 7 ???

Like Jon said....but thanks for offering.If you can,then sure,but if you can't then we'll have to catch up to Jon pretty soon.I hope to have things in order soon where I can give Connie the GLF back,also need to pick up that car in NY...could use your help,maybe visit Jon on the way....??? Wow,this is one twisted Suba-tale.

Yes,please try to keep negative comments about board members workmanship,cars,etc. from the board.We've all done it,me too.

Well,there you have it.My hopes,my dreams,everything but my money. That car is probably #1 on my list of desired vintage Subarus. I can't believe it's going so low.That's worth 3-4 times as much,and I'm not being sentimental either.Current price at $1500.

:-\ Doh! Sorry Jon,I didn't think you'd do something like that without hearing from Andrew.

Andrew, OK,I've done everything but call Jon. Sending you PM with Jon's number

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.
