Possibly going to PA to pick up the turbo wagon...Sunday.Details may or may not follow.Can't do Saturday and I'm slummin' for dough for the yards anyway.

I'll gladly retrieve it in NJ at the docks. somebody just pay for it for me.........waaaaaagh!!!!

Hatchsub, I was just in Guilford yesterday and will probably go back up this week,maybe even tomorrow night. There's a free '87 EA82 but it has the carb.,not SPFI.If you'd like anything that I don't want you're welcome to it.Can't yank the engine or tranny unless you're superquick.My tow guy friend hates to waste time.Outside chance you could follow us back and get anything large out of it,but we can't do it in Guilford. The car is an '87 GL wagon with the D/R 5spd.Engine runs but was a little oily and not what I'd call excellent....but it ran.Exhaust leaks,interior had wicked mildew smell.

I'll be tossing something together for an EA82 wagon soon. Check dumpsters at office parks for drawer slides,pulls,etc. if you're looking for ultra cheap/free materials. Personally,I'm going to make a pull out work bench that'll have a fold down support leg and be able to handle a miter saw.I'm going to make the rear cargo area pretty much all wood with side boxes,etc......someday.

The Wagon,save the wagon!!!

The engine would be nice for any 76-79 owner!! There might be a slight change from '78 to '79 since there's a different part number for the '79. FE's are a fine example of what the industry SHOULD have been doing for the last 25 years. The engine is an EA71,for sure. Is the carpet blue too?

Anyone even remotely interested who has space to keep it should serously look into this.Fuel Efficient,simple to work on,brakes are same as EA81,the list goes on.And the engine can always be passed on to any other vintage owner. Thanks for posting,Shawn.

Shriner Cars.

Yup,that's him.Tom in VA got the wagon.Not sure where it is now.

Coolski,thanks!! As for the turbo wagon,I'd need to do it on the weekend for sure.I'll even drive up and meet the car,then call the next AAA haul out and drive along with them to B'port. Talk to you soon.

Wondering if your so toast on your birthday that you forgot about this one. Where's Rory these days?Did you run into him at his shop? Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also,there is a guy who still sometimes pops in on the board who had a Subaru engined trike built here in CT.I believe the guy who built it also comes by this board once in a great while,or has at least once.Kind of like Jerry's friend where they used an EA81 but I think this one used a 2WD Automatic,if I recall correctly. Here's his avatar- "dritchie" is his board name.He'd have some advice for you too. Here's the full size shot: Here's some post threads Don (dritchie) started: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24179 http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=19011 Good luck.Let us know how you do with it.

:cool:

There's an elderly man who does drive his sedan here.Other than people reporting of them,I doubt there's any 360 driver's here on this board.

Rory is a board member and an excellent guy!! He lifted an '84 wagon before ever even finding this board.He's a true Suba-rebel.And he throws one heck of an annual bash!!!Connie can probably hear it from her house. Connie,I was right by your house twice lately and still didn't come by to get the fender.But it was getting late so I didn't want to disturb you.Last night I was in Bethel untill 2:30AM helping my buddy get the baby's room ready.Mom and baby come home today!!!I hung some doors and helped out with little details. It's a little too late and money too tight to give Rory some work right now,but for sure I'll be thinking about him as the man to go to come springtime. Connie,I'm wondering if I/we can ask a favor of you.Once upon a time,Andrew and I went to retrieve a car from PA.Andrew balked and the car is in Scranton.We'd like to have AAA pick it up and drop in at your place for just a few hours.(within the 100 miles my AAA Plus account allows).Then we'll call AAA for the second run down to my house.I meant to call you but I was sick most of yesterday and then life got in the way. If your place isn't good,maybe you can recommend a spot.We need to cover that 100miles and Danbury is right about the limit.Talk to you soon.

Well,that Datsun sure is nice but it's a tough choice.If your 360 to trade was not a van or pickup the Datsun would rule.Having a 360 van is something mighty special.How many other people have an oversized toaster that rolls? Seriously,it's a tough choice,to me.Good luck.

Hmm,the diet part I'm almost a twin to.But I need to actually workout instead of calling working hard all day a workout.And I can see myself getting into the vino soon.For now,only on occassion.No hard liquor for me either. We have buffalo,looks great,only had it a couple of times.Is most buffalo grass fed?? Sorry to go off thread,really. My friend recently took the Quiznos plunge (opened a franchise).Better menu than most places,for sure. OK,what the heck was this thread about again??? http://www.statravel.com/Statravel/...x?MenuID=1003S3 Yeah,check them folks out,Bubba,you'll git yer arse out of Memphis yet. 20 more years to 62.Hope I'm half as cool as Smitty at that age.Kawabunga!

George,Would you mind telling us what your diet and fitness routines are?I want to be shredding when I'm 62 as well. Of all the folks I've met and gotten to know through this board I'd have to put you as #1 of folks who's lifestyle I appreciate the most.You ski,you shred,you love life and it shows.Good for you,man!!!! Cheers!

I asked a long time Subaru mechanic who said lots of soaking,sometimes heat,and almost always a pain in the butt.

Somewhere in the archives should be my post on doing the EA82 heatercore swap.You'll love it if you need it.You can do the whole deal in 4 hours if you follow my directions.I hope it's an easier fix than that but should you need the swap....... If there's no leak,don't swap it,flush it.

It's been around for awhile,but thanks for posting it.There's a lot of new folks in the old school now.Probably at least a couple who haven't seen the rising sun racer.

Wow,that's a nice score.Any others around? Something with a really hard glossy coat.I guess an epoxy paint thinned out some.I doubt using it straight would be easy.I think it'll be a lot easier to spread around thinned out.And you'll avoid creating a resistance around the drain holes...just my thought.The reason my Zeibart'd '78 is still around is because they did the drain holes right.Too many cars held water,well,you know that,who am I talking to here?

Right on!!!

Yeah,they're all worth more to us because we're whacked out on Subaru,man. Seriously,my touring wagon cost $200 needing timing belts and an axle.That car has taken us on family vacations,gone off roading several times including the infamous nose in the air photo.. ...then it's helped move people,including myself,and still runs excellent even though my sister inlaw drives it. So,I'd say any SPFI wagon with dual range 4WD is worth the $500 or so. Hey,how about that one on eBay right now??Shooooey,boy,tell you what,that'd be for me if I had the green.Sccccccchhhhhhhhwwwwwweeeeeeeet!!!!!! There's been quite a few folks over the years that have commented favorably about the touring wagons of '89 and '90....because they really are a nice car for a boxy Subaru of the late 80's.

Really not that hard.Now go get that '75 wagon!!
