You're very welcome for the tag.I was hoping it didn't offend you at all,so thanks for accepting it so kindly. Nice effort,and never mind about perfect restorations.You're keeping that particular body style on the road,that is the best you can do within reason.To spend what it takes to make it a perfect restoration would be insane.I've seen people poor money you can't imagine into things like an Alfa Romeo GTV6 and the work costs about 5-10 times the value of the car-IF-you can find a buyer purchasing at top level.Good job of keeping your head on your shoulders,and keeping a realistic time frame. Marshmallows don't have stripes....but if you were to stripe it I'd say go blue and match the interior. And,I'm Paul Cheers!

Tasty marshmallow!!!!!Looks sweet!

Hood and fender no problem,maybe even right here on the board. Floorpans I'm not sure of.Mill Supply used to carry them,maybe another company too. Gas tank-maybe a fuel cell instead?Maybe get one from the west coast/southwest?I had one for ya,sorry to say it's not around right now.Maybe our man Charlie took it,maybe Andrew,can't remember but I doubt I kept it and put it in with my storage. Good luck with it.

Still interested but have to see if we can manage the vacation time. EdRach being there now makes me want to just drive down NOW.

East coast is tough for your Brat but you have to hunt and make lots of calls or check online. Your hub isn't going to be on eBay,most likely,but you'll either find a board member with one or you can search one of those carparts dot com sites. Oh,wait,there's a guy who's got some '78 Brat parts on eBay and says he's parting it out.Try him.Search '78 Subaru on eBay and you'll see it.

Yes,they came in black and silver during the early 70's.We just grabbed some of each in that stock we got.I'll try to get a shot of them when I get together with Charlie.There's 4 in. wheels and 4 1/2's and 5's all X 13" Not sure but I'd guess the black ones were 4 1/2"

Hey,can you guys make it so you all get to meet Andrew?He'll be back out there....soon I think. Have fun.

Gee,not much response here on this one. Any knowledge of all the other parts and their location would be helpful....you knew that.

Yes,I have those,but I don't have time right now,sorry.Everything got put away and has left my home and gone back to storage.Still have to get the other two guys together,but they know already that I was setting a set aside for you.I don't think anyone here understands exactly how hard it is to get Andrew,let alone Charlie and Andrew to show up somewhere at the same time.Haven't been able to make it happen since Carlisle in May!!! If you can wait then when I get settled into our next home I'll gladly hook you up.If you really need them soon I just can't help you right now,sorry.

:slobber: If an excellent match in carpet supply comes along,please considerinquiring about a group buy. Black,from '72-79 would sell big I'm guessing.Colors a lot less

Yes,and unfortunately the owner is in poor health.I was talking to Charlie who took home some of the parts,etc. and he was reading in the guy's paperwork that he/they were getting way behind on credit before they bailed. From the looks of it they closed their doors in early 1980....does that sound right?

He's at one of the bases in GA or SC if I remember right. How far north are you willing to travel?

I'll have to hunt through the service memorandums,etc. that I have and see if the instructions are around.I brought home just one package and emptied it out.I did not see any instructions with the package,so I'm sure the dealers must have gotten some nomenclature of this. Pretty cool,no pun intended.It's the carb shield that we're all familiar with from the EA81. Here's the postmark and label from the package: September 1979.... PCV stepdown: Vacuum Hose connection sticker comes with it. Let me try to find some more info on them.Meanwhile if somebody wants to add info please do so.

Any other years or models? I'm going to check the FPM's to see if I can tell that way.

Looks like all 4spds are the same from the drawings. If you go from 4 to 5spd I think it's best to grab the crossmember,clutch cable,etc. too,just to make sure it'll all go.

I'm pretty sure the '73 and '76 are both 4spds and both the same.I'll check later.

we've got a solid 15 paid for! Russell wants two as well.....that WagonsOnly should pay for :lol: just kidding. There's one other guy who contacted Todd,then spoke to me,who is sending money for I think one more,maybe two. As far as I'm concerned we're pretty much done. We up here have spoken for at least 6 pieces and my intention was to keep a couple.Don't bother adding things up,the last two are for a couple of stragglers... Derek from PRP called me on Saturday and all is on the go.Should be another month he said. Thanks for all your efforts in sending funds quickly.Don't forget,some of you have credit towards shipping,some owe.We'll settle up when the order comes in and I begin sending them out.Don't forget to tip the waiter

Contact the guy to be sure it's what you want.He's pretty cool.Go for it.

No,they sit lower,unless that's what you want. The guy has a limited stock but claims his supllier has more. Here's what he's said to me: Paul; It's good to hear from you.I have 1 pair of 1972-75 1400 2wd front inserts and 2 pairs of 1976-79 2wd front inserts. My supplier has a pair of rears for the 1972-79 2wd and 2 pairs of 1972-75 2wd fronts. Also, I have 1 pair each of the 1980-84 2wd & 4wd front inserts. They also fit the Hatchback to 1989 and maybe Brat. And I have 1 pair each of the sedan/coupe/hatchback rears and wagon rears. Shocks and inserts are $49 a pair plus shipping. I can make a deal on quantity. here's his email addy: charliet@ netreach.net But as you can see he'll make a deal for quantity....so,if you're ready to buy maybe we should get together and save some money.I was hoping we'd get some response here for the 2wd's.

I've held off just because I'm kind of cash poor right now and because I'd rather get the lot he has and save some money too. They aren't going anywhere,I'm sure.If you're really interested in getting them soon let me know.I'll pass along the guy's info or maybe break down and get my set(s) now.

Andrew's wagon has the same tach,or at least one much like it and in the same spot. I have yet to come across a picture in my FPM's that shows a '73 wagon dash looking like yours and Andrew's.I'll keep looking.

Thanks Connie.Let me get some coffee,unload the car,and see what the day looks like.Lots to do here today.Still have to empty out the car,etc.

Just a couple of months ago this young gentleman is on the highway with Michigan plates on an EA82 woody wagon.....looks over at me in my '78 and just about goes bananas bouncing up and down and smiling,waving,giving my car the thumbs up. Remember guys,I'm still wanting the border trim for those woody kits. If you send it to me I will do my best to copy the pieces and give you a set for the price of material.The set will be REAL wood either mahogony or something cheaper but good for outdoors. The original sets are applique with plastic simulated wood border. I'd gladly cover shipping both ways and like I said,offer you a real wood border set for cost of material. Meanwhile,when I get back to work I'm going to start my own border for an EA82 wagon.

Sweet!!

OK,now I really fell out of favor with the gang...:-\ Drove down Rt.7 coming from the mountains passing the metal bridge in New Milford at 8PM with kids that just needed to get home.Sorry guys. Hope you all had a good time.If anyone stayed over gimme a call on Sunday if you're hanging around.
