Grill,still in my car,in a box,ready to go. I just had a short trip.I'll get it going this week. Nice score!

Thanks DAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Andrew and I are on our way.Should make Pottsville around 1-2PM

Thanks Matt and everybody.Hershey is old news to me.That's why we're going back.Great place for the kids.Much less "yo,bling" attutude and the free little chocolates...oh boy!

Aye young laddy,but I need to sail the ship to port less the third sheet to the wind me boy.Arrrrrgh.I just don't want to reach my destination too late.I'll already be distracted by Harry's or Faust,etc... But THANKS for thinking of that.Certainly in the future on a Harry's run!!...which maybe you could join in.

Why not???? Still not sure I'll make it now.We'll see.

Also,my son and I might branch off from my wife and daughter and hit South Jersey for some Trail driving at Pine Barrens on Monday,if things work out that way.If we do we'll be there untill late afternoon,maybe head for home around 5-6PM the latest. I'll be in the infamous '89 touring wagon.The one that showed a good 18+ inches of air under the front when I barreled up the bank of the river.Somebody got the shot....was it the Pastor of Muppets,Trogdor!?

WagonsOnly and I will be heading down to Frackville just near Pottsville.Yup,right up the road from our man Dave. Trip should start out around 6-7AM from Bridgeport,CT.Taking 95 south to 287 south/west to either 80 or 78.If we go 80 we'll probably get distracted by Harry's.....oh boy....If we go 78 I'm sure I'll stop at Faust in Allentown. Trip back from Frackville for wagonsOnly that day,turning around and heading home to CT with my future Turbo wagon from Mike.He'll hopefully NOT need contacts for Friday adventures from around noon through the afternoon.He'll need sedation after going through NYC,but that's another dilema. I'll be heading out after Frackville follies to Frederick,MD probably through Hagerstown and down 70 to F'burg. Return trip for me will be Sunday early AM to Hershey for fun and wetness!!!,then Sunday night we might crank it out home or chill out and go home Monday AM,just after 9AM leaving Hershey or wherever we stay somewhere east of Hershey. You can skip the Hershey highway jokes..... Thanks everybody!

If you go back please let me know what it is.Thanks. You might be able to make a few bucks if there's something worth getting.I need a really nice radiator for a 1600 (EA71),and some other goodies.

Wurth,not wurst,sorry about that. Here it is: http://www.wurthusa.com/project/en/topnavi/home/startpage_1.html

Cool. As mentioned,I'll be camping with Luc at the Batso camping area.If you go north of the ranger station on 206 to the next right turn,follow that to the end and go right,the camping area is on the left. I'd normally cook breakfast but the diner is best this year. oK,date set,we'll be there or my son will hate me.

No sweat,but I only click on about 5% of the posts out there these days. Pat,I think I've held your tools hostage long enough.Sorry about that.I'll get them going either later this week or early next week. Cheers

Oh boy,now I want to go digging and fine what I have from my youth as a Subathusiast. That sure looks like PA in the background.When are you coming back?

Yup,sorry about that......HEATER CORE. The A/C would have been another malady. I got all excited because I also fixed the A/C yesterday.Dang near peed the passenger side floor .........again.

Sorry Pat,I had no idea and my crystal ball is on the blink.

OK,you've just gotten a set off absolutely known to be working switches and relay.You go to install them,still no power windows on your EA82 car. Well,if you're like me and have a car that once pee peed it's coolant all over the passenger side front floor from a rupture in the ***heater core*** then you might want to lift the carpet and check for shorted/coroded wires. I knew I'd find the problem in the wires but it took getting Wagon78 involved to make me lift that carpet today and finally get my power windows going.Today,like much of the last two weeks here,was something like 99 degrees and probably near 95% humidity.The A/C was NOT working either,but I fixed that with a good tensioner pulley from Subafreak. Hats off to both those guys.Freak is a good quick mechanic with a great work ethic.Turn around and he's gotten three more things done.'78 is the guy for diagnostics on the electrical side.I knew once I presented my problem to him I'd have that problem solved in no time. GOING HOME IN AN AIR CONDITIONED CAR FOR WAS SOOOOOOOOOO FREAKIN' AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used the power windows to hold my head out and scream at the yuppies heading back from the Cape,so my repairs were all timely,indeed.

Wurst carries them,that's who I got mine from. Expensive,yes,but excellent.You'll not want a heli-coil again for exhaust studs,etc. where you may have to remove the stud/bolt in the future for repairs,etc.. Cost was borderline "no friggin way",I think I paid like $63 for a set plus shipping.Comes with a drill bit,tap,chamfer bit,insert tool and I think 5 inserts when you order the size for exhaust studs. Pay more,but you get the best results.My experienced opinion.

Oh gosh,another guy named Skip...welcome! Enjoy the swim. Paul

I am planning on whipping up a nice one for my '73 coupe.Other than dreaming I'm as curious as you are to see some gen I tower bracing.

Looking at the last weekend this month,just before school goes back to session.

Late 80's SPFI is good enough for basic driving and simple,simple,simple!!!!! My '89 touring wagon is our family truck.It just won't die,much like the Subarus of the 70's when things were simple,simple,simple......

Hal's is a great place.I can't say I've sent them much money at all but their reputation is up and down the east coast,and then some.Long time Subaru people.

Wow,you guys are going to be RIGHT near my friend's house just of Mt.Zion rd. Balenger Park is on Rt.351,right? Tim,I'll give you a call next weekend sometime,probably later in the day so mabe you'll be off work.

Brad,you bailed out on the hybrid? Got trailer pics?

My son wants to hit the Barrens to see if we can snag one of those lizards we saw last year.I'll be going for an overnight camping stay in the Batso camping area. I'll have to check the calender but for sure we'll be doing an entire Saturday of trail driving and if there's company along we'll do some water action too. Who'd be up for a run either this weekend(doubtful,but still being considered),or the weekends of Aug. 27/28th? Google search Pine Barrens and check it out if you're interested.I'll post links and add some info later.Just getting the twigs in the pit.I'll torch the big logs later.Ciao.

Nah,wish I could but just too much to do to get my place on the market and start moving our home items into storage. I'll be there next Thursday night but late,very late.Friday and Saturday will be the days to get together. Still got my cell phone number?Send me a number to reach you at if you don't mind.
