Good to know.Thanks!

Good luck on the haul.Thanks for updating.

Sushi anybody? So,you have a grill going?

So soon,after that miraculous journey!!! I'll choke you!! Seriously though,like Mary said...project cars don't have to be done overnight.Look at my fine examples. (gut busting-going to the looney bin-laughter!!!)The 15 year Ducati project???,the 4? year '78 wagon project??My turbo wagon sitting since just about one year ago???? I know how it feels.Just ride it or you only be paddling back out for more sooner. **

Thanks guys! Milt,we'd love to....hopefully later in the season.May is shot,and we put away our winter gear already... What's up with this weather?Personally,I like it like this.But seeing 43 degrees on the big bank clock/temp....yikes,it was 5 in the evening.I heard 48 on the news,so maybe the clock was off,still not summer weather yet,and none in sight. As for Todd's post....highlight,right click,dump in new Word doc.,PRINT. Words to keep reading every so often.Thanks Todd! Dave,make it up by bringing some good beer. ....you've done MORE than your share for all the times you drove up. Cheers

With virtually no other stock representations of similar year Subarus up here I'd like to see him keep it as it came from Fuji.Personal opinion. You guys out there might yank another one out from some old ladies garage,but around here there's nothing like that to be found. I might do the naughty on my '73 and drop in a 1600 dual carb.My car is far from the condition of this wagon.It wouldn't be such a sin.

Thanks again guys! Took the kids out for the good ol' kids meals (not McCrap),Duchess,our local fresh food served quick joint,then we hit the beach for a long walk and shell collecting.Just what you need.Just me and the kids,since my wife works down the traffic corridor.:-\ Watched some planes take off before the clouds blew over.We had dark clouds over one shoulder and breaking cumlulous (sp?) clouds with shafts of sunlight on the other shoulder.Never got a drop.A nice time. Don't worry about me.We got through today,the rest will be easier,excepting the wake and funeral. Thomas W. Swanson Sr. SWANSON Thomas W.

Published in the Connecticut Post from 5/23/2005 - 5/24/2005 It was indeed a massive heart attack.He was gone in a flash. Thanks again for all the support!!!

Thanks guys.I'm just about to head off to work.I don't usually do computer in the AM and the coffee is just setting in... My friend Tom died while singing on stage with another band for just one song,to close out a set.There was a break for a guitar solo/lead and he dropped as he was taking a step back.He hit something of the drummer's with his head on the way down,but it was probably not what took him.He was probably gone before he hit the floor. Tom was just one of those guy EVERYONE describes as a stand up guy.Coached kids in Pop Warner football for years. His pride is knowing that Dan Orlovsky(sp?) is now with the Detroit Lions,and Tom coached him as a youth.Watch for Dan,(QB)he's not going to be starting just yet but he's got the talent to be a starter.Tom died knowing he helped Dan get to the big show.He also died doing what he loved best. Saturday,we worked together and he said something like "Man,if I could just hit those notes like I used to and use all my range I know I still have in me....." Well,my friend Glenn said Tom was hitting that song straight on and was sounding.....like an angel. Yet another closed chapter this week. We'd been getting along like brothers lately instead of co-workers.It just sucks right now.But,I've been through these things before,just going to suck for a while. Thanks again everybody.

Thank you.My stash is a little difficult to get to right now.

Report from the front?

Get underneath and look good at the trailing arm that holds the wheel/spindle.Especially where it bolts up,but I've also had the arm just rot out through the box section so bad it nearly folded the wheel.I didn't care as much back then so I kept letting it go.Luckily I made it home and had it swapped out soon after. Or if it's a slight lean it could just be worn wheel bearings.See if the wheel has any play in it.

Pics yet?

The OFFICIAL closing of the First Subaru Church of the Resurection. Thanks again to everyone who ever stopped by.The friendships have been mostly all great. Thanks also to the folks who helped with the move. Hey guys,I'm going to have a tough time tomorrow,Monday.Please forgive me if I'm not quite the same over the next ??? couple of days or so.My friend and boss died last night.It's going to be a rough Monday at work.My friend was like a son to the company's owner.He was THE guy who really ran the show,so it's really going to be crazy the next few days.Thanks for your understanding. Sorry for all the sadness here.It seems to be a year of closing chapters and writing new ones for me/us here. We had some great times at the workshop.Lots of great memories.Thanks again for all the story swapping,company you kept,help on repairs,purchases of parts,comments on the amount of stuff that was there.... ,etc.... Chapter closed.

OK,But I'm wanting to know if I can put the dual carb intake on the revised,two port 1400 as well. When you're talking about the 4port engine,well that's the one I'd remove.I have a two port 1400 ready to use,exhaust too.I realize that asking if the two 1400 heads would swap is a dumb question.I forgot about the inverted valve train,sorry.

Did you folks get the 2 port exhaust 1400 in '74,5,and 6 like we did?That's the engine I'd like to put the dual carb on.Are you telling me that the 2port 1400 is still not the same size as the EA71?That's one thing I'd like to know for sure. Thanks for your help.

And more.......

Now if this next one doesn't say "I just drove all night through mountains for 1400 miles in a 1973 vehicle",then I just don't know what does. Best of luck with it!!!! *****

That's right!!!

Daze home now........Just met them around noon off of I-84 in Waterbury.For some reason I'm having trouble getting my pictures into my gallery.Otherwise you'd be seeing one hell of a nice 1973 vehicle!!!!!

Oh!!,hot dang,I'd forgottten I gave a heap of the heap of them to you....sure,send him what you can please,and I'll even let you use my FedEx Ground account.I'll make up the rest with what I know I have here.....er,uh,up there.I'm sure about the dash and some door panels.

They're passing through PA right now. ...............for those of you remotely interested......

Ahh,pictures....looks like an east coast Brat. By chance,I apparently will be having a tan dashboard available.You can have it but just cover shipping on it.You did a great favor by bringing the '73 across the country.I should also have a lot of interior parts.I founf a small heap of tan interior stuff I had forgotten about,near the end of my move. I'll be in touch.

A friend of mine use to do the cargo runs for small pay,but lots of hours logged toward getting his commercial license.He'd bring a person somewhere every once in a while,but I don't think the company policy really allowed that. Infact his run went something like Stratford,CT to Danbury,CT to western PA,to Ohio,back to PA,Albany,NY,and then back towards CT...alll overnight within like 7-8 hours!!

Trudy,you RULE!!! See,it must be good karma from the '82 wagon deal you gave.
