Oooo,lemme know if you still have the info.A camera,tape measure,paper and pencil and I'm all set!!! Did they ever say who did it? I'm thinking it was a dealer small batch deal.

When he's my sidekick on adventures he's known from town to town as "Howmuchyouwantforthatwagon?":) He'll be getting it,don't worry.Then off to therapy. There's a '71 ff1 wagon here that belongs to my friend,a non boardmember.We've got to get the two together.The melding of Subarus earliest markets,New England and the PNW.Right on.

Yeah,I've got a few of those too.One of these days we'll get Mick or someone to run some off. thanks!!!! Talk to you soon....

Getting up in the morning is a risk too but we all get up and face what lies ahead. Like you said,plus he talked to Patrick,the current owner.So from that I think he paid at least fair,if not just a little overpaid for it.But I don't think there's anything that can't be handled.The main thing is that the body will roll on,even if it needs some patchwork,etc. I don't think anyone will be disappointed in the end. Now,the thing to do would be to have it dropped off where labor is cheap and quality acceptable.When it come here and it's time to pay some shop for the work......ouch!There's some of the best restoration shops in the world right here but I don't think Andrew wants to dump $30,000 into it. Rotisserie!!! I might be owning one later this year.It'll be partly owned and the other guy will be using it first if things go as planned.They aren't that much,really.But when I put it to the northeast group to go in on one I got no response. Hopefully we'll all put our differences aside and help each other by sharing such an investment.By that I mean sharing transport cost to save money....splitting a rotisserie....and whatever else we can combine efforts on.That might even include shopping out the bodywork to one shop that would give us a better deal as a threesome,or more,instead of being soaked one at a time. I'm begining to think we need a winter meeting to discuss all this.Everyone sit down and discuss their outlook on expected projects.If we all get a good idea of what each one wants then we'll not step on each other's toes and the effort should be minimized from an individual's personal budget/time allowance.We can also try to talk to shops and see if we can get a deal from a good quality shop.

This is the one. Is that the one you were thinking of?

Firstly,who was it that won the border kit off of eBay awhile back?the guy wouldn't loan it to me even though I offered a set in mahogany if he'd let me copy it.....not cool.If anyone has a set PLEASE loan it to me and I'll send it right back. Secondly,I'd like to dress up an EA82 wagon.(above mentioned set is for pre '80 wagons).I'm not familiar with any woody package for the EA82 so it'll be hand drawn templates to get it going. #3-Are there EA81 wagon's with the woody package still around?Anyone have that set to lend? #4-Your ideas?????

Of course,don't be silly.... Gotta keep in mind though,Brian and I had talked about his wagon,then wagons,coming my way years ago.....Andrew won his '73 outright...and the ff1 was kind of weird because Patrick actually contacted me first,saved the email just incase,but our hero Andrew has the dough and we talked things out.We're both happy,he moreso than I...but I wish him the best with it.To me,an ff1 is interesting but '72 and later is more for me.We had like one ff1 in our backyard when I was young but we had dozens of '72 and later Subies. Well,I think we're chock full 'o vintage Subarus right now so you watch and see,the best one will show up now and you'll be all set. We'll get you hooked up Jon.We appreciate your enthusiasm and would love to see more vintage owners up here.

Hey,that's real pretty....thanks.I see my thinking isn't so strange after all. But I've got a twist on that,for sure.they and others have probably taken the same road and turned back.I'll have to try and hit the wall of stubborness full force.

For an EA82 Turbo wagon..... We'd like to try our hand at making one...NOT TO SELL....for personal use only. Not saying we wouldn't think about trying to upgrade a design if possible,but we would never produce what someone else is already. So,gimme something to look over,please. Has anyone used tube stock vertically between plates?Or are they mostly all box type flatstock?I've got an idea I'd like to try using the tube stock and some crossbracing for both excellent vertical strength and hopefully less flex than flatstock boxes horizontally.

Andrew will be taking care of the tailgate wagons for me.We'll see where it all falls when the fan hits the ground...or something like that. I think we need a group pow wow....we all sit down and before getting drunk,try to settle out our vintage vehicles. Problem is we all want too many. This is getting a little too thick on my end.Thankfully Andrew's dad is totally cool about storing the Tailgates for me.Otherwise I'd have to pass or take out a loan for parking. When I get settled into our next home I'll know better what I can keep and what has to go.Hoping to keep all the '73's and the '78 and get rid of the 80's cars except for one. Well,I don't have to sell one of my Ducatis this month! Thanks for that,Andrew.

Yup,was feeling the same way about it.My '78 still has a foil tape patch over the spot I wanted to cover to go to Carlisle....nearly two years ago!! Now that the big boss is gone for vacation I'm going to try to get Lucky inside as much as possible during lunch and as I can after working hours and get some of that work done.It might be just patchwork but it'll be done well.I really don't do much hack work.Check out my latest project at work: That's Jesus in the background....you know,a Honduran guy ...Hayzoose. Concave,mitered angles are my favorite......yeah right!But I promise,the wood will look perfect when I'm done with it.I'll do my best on the car too.Need to get some practice first.I want to do as much as I can myself,but i've got a good guy welding for me right now just incase I can't get as much free time as he can. BTW,we'll be making roll bars,bumpers,and probably some form of lift kit at least for personal use. Double tube bumper for Bucky would get those Mercedes moving over for you.

Congrats to Andrew.....and I don't think I'll be calling now.:-p

Nah,but it can smell really great when it's all sealed up underside.Right now on a rainy day it'll get some dampness in the rear carpets because of a couple of really small holes just in from the rockers.I spary some Febreeze and it dries the moisture/moldy smell right out.Once it's dry it has no odor at all,really. This is the second car I've run with such low mileage.The first one was a '76 DL that now resides in Sweeden with around 35k

Unfortunately Dunkin spead themselves further,and firstly throughout the northeast.Long before KKKrispyKreme. To me,Starbucks stinks,and is yuppie infested... Krispy has decent donuts,but not a big item on my list.Kind of like one guy said,a couple of times a year is enough. Dunkin isn't all that great either,but certainly convenient. The best donut shops up here are the few mom 'n pop places or some small chains like the Doughnut Inn,which I believe just busted up or sold out....:-\ My brother owned a dognut shop and I actually helped him get going...yup,I went in at 2:30AM and made dognuts,etc.. for a little while.The best places use veggie lard,not the crap that the big names use...critter lard,not nearly as healthy. As for coffee,once you've been to Italy it's all just a replica here.I hit my local small store to support small business and forget about trying to get "the best" or a certain "feel" for a coffee.Get it,drink it,and get to work!!Arrrrrrrrrrr. so what's this about a Subaru in a commercial?????

Tim Horton's is great while in Canada,but the good old DINER of the northeastern variety is the place to be after the bars close....well,that is if hunger is the priority.

you turkey!!! Back atcha sweety....:cool:

I'll be calling around 5:30 your time...

They worked pretty good after tossing in your master switch...but now they are a little slow,and sometimes some of them just don't budge,then maybe on a good day they'll spring to life and do something like get stuck down with a stiff nothwesterly on a 20 degree morning. But that's life,nodoby can ever expect these things to work perfectly for long.Come springtime I'll pull the switch go over it,as with the whole system.Probably a bad ground. The driver's window...knock on wood,has been perfect. Thanks for looking everybody!

Hood River??? Windsurfing!!!!!!!!!!!! Doooooooooooooooooooooood!!! August what????

Not yet.He said he'd keep trying.He was having trouble uploading them.

Loving taking care of this car.I really hope Connie gets it back and one day can fix the body flaws.For those not knowing,this car is in my possesion but will eventually go back to Connie,a.k.a. Bucky92. Snugged up the exhaust today....happy,very happy. Did some brake work this past weekend.Tranny dealt with a while back....all better. Sorry to brag.It's just been a minor roller coaster ride but now things are really starting to iron out. I actually enjoy an automatic Subaru!!!.....presently. Just turned 37k.....interior is nearly flawless. Kids love the sunroof.They're really into riding around in something that is unique.My son just doesn't understand why people drive newer "tanks" when they can drive an old Subaru.....what can I say? Here you go,Connie!! Keeping it nice for you honey!

Not true. As I've posted a few times,there's one right here in CT.My friend owns it. thanks for the email.....looking forward to pics.

Yup,,,cough,,,,what he said....cough.... Todd says they stink,so to me there's no more discussion.:cool: I do have a blue dash that I'm very proud of.Still would like the mythical perfect dash.Mary found her's so who knows.

Yeah,let's bring this post back around to the ff-1....thanks for contacting me.We'll talk more,soon. I'm begining to think that an ff-1 is the most rare of all older Subarus now.Those Subarus from just after the 360 through the Stage II '77 and beyond are the toughest to find.And the pre-1300 stuff has to be near impossible to find now in this country.
