OK,just had a conversation with the wife.We are indeed getting a storage place and going to start taking our personal items out of the aleged workshop.She wants me to go get the stoage place ASAP,so hopefully I'll have even more room very soon. You guys come up and help,take some stuff,and hopefully the rest of the keeper stuff will fit in storage untill we are in our next home. Yes,I'm home sick today for those wondering.Feeling a little better now,thank you.

Right Dave.Everyone should bring a vehicle with space for parts and maybe some blankets,tie downs,etc....... Early start this time.We attack at dawn!I'll be all coffee'd up and rocking.Hopefully I'll have a huge amount outside before folks show up. Smoke outside you stinkin smokers!!!!!! Cig. butt in my bathroon....shame,shame.....you guys know how I feel about this.Besides the annoyance,there's way too much at stake of losing.Guilt-family pictures-gulit-all our camping stuff,kids stuff,some old family furniture items-guilt......please smoke outside,thank you. I'm sure you girls can find other ways of annoying me. For the love of God!

I figure we'd be a bit more organized if we 70's through '80 owners got ourselves a contact list now before the mid 80's folks turn vintage too. Our cars are a breed all their own.Beyond the original series,yet pre-computer excepting the '80-81 Brats etc. Anybody up for compiling the info? I think if we linked the user name we can all have each others contact info,if filled out.Just add what vehicle(s) we own. I'm borrowing a Mac laptop and have no idea how to cut and paste with this thing,sorry. Maybe as a group we might also have some buying power for the last of what's out there for stock.But that's a distant dream right now.

EXACTLY,what Graig said. Heat the driver blade,insert,let cool,turn out,done. And then you'll need my which you can't find in any store at any price.Don't i wish. Most of us 70's owners have those around.I've got at least one complete radiator in excellent shape and another in very good condition.Good to boil them out at the age they're at.Go for the new cock plug and clean up the thermo sensor with some 0000 steel wool.Clean up the grounding point.Good for another 5 years with a good core. Cheers.

Date to be determined but count on it being in December. Location: 230 Woodmont Rd. Unit 41-C Milford,CT 06460 Santa has already left a ton of parts to give away.

Sorry,I thought he wanted to pull the dash,didn't realize he can just swap the vent. Personally I've done plenty of dash removals and it's a breeze.For a car that old it'd be smart to swap cores now before winter really kicks in.I'm doing one later this week.

Raven,if you need a cock I have one. Be sure to pull yours out first. Then you can insert the one I have. OK,that was all funny,but I really do have a drain cock if you need one. Cheers.

I swear it was a workshop before it became a storage space. Got me some more room thanks to Dave. Next round-the Holiday Extraveganza!!! Santa gives out gifts to all.....side molding,DL dashboard,rear cargo area panels,roof liners,13" hubcaps......everything and elf can stuff in your ...............car! Jesse,better add that Brat to your signature before enough parts fall off. :-p

You'd be smart to spend the $45 on the new heater core too while the dash is out.Just a thought,if you've got the spare dough.

No Todd,they're still under the part of the mess that hasn't moved yet. Waiting for you to come up and help out...LOL. With a drive like Dave had at that hour I'd have grabbed 2 coffees,M&M's,and anything else to keep me company.Especially when the navigator gets to sleep.

Glad you could make it down. Now see,wasn't that worth the trip?

I caught just a few raindrops on the way home,around 1:20.Worked out just right.THANKS guys!!!! Dave and the candle crack dealer stayed and hooked me up with some serious candle and soap,yo!....oh and Dave and Melis helped by bringing stuff in and re-stacking.....I have an aisle!!!!!!!! Thanks guys part II !!!! Thanks Mary! Nice to meet you and Tim.

OK so you be sure to come down,Mary and I'll be sure to meet you there,rain or moonglow.It's having a herd of folks in a place with absolutley no floorspace right now with rain outside that I'm worried about. So listen up folks,the rest of you call or if you travel a long way I garuntee I'll take the time for you.Some folks might have to wait out in their cars if it's raining.I just don't have the floorspace.I really need good weather to open the o/h door and take crap out so we can set up the band and dance the night away. Geez,it'll be like a freakin drive in with curb service.You lucky S.O.B.'s get your Subaru parts brought out to your car!!!There's just no sense to having folks attempt to wade through. Yikes,gotta sleep,later.

Looking totally thumbs up,good to go. Please be sure to call around 3-4PM just to make sure.I'll make coffee or there's Dunkin Donuts next door.

Oh,I also want to thank ALL the wonderful people who've crossed paths with me this past year.Lots of great new friendships and associations.Camping at Milt's place all stemmed from this board.It was such a nice place to be we did it twice this summer. Thanks guys!

Thanks for all the efforts behind the scene.Mods,that goes for you guys as well. Hope you guys had a great day. Shawn,I got the dash cover,thanks again. oh,I'm wearing my favorite t-shirt today.Native Americans pictured,saying around pic says "Homeland Security""Fighting Terrorism Since 1492". Cheers!

Which side oh youthful offender? I just got a Gen I for parting out and I know one of the tail lights was excellent.The other was cracked but functional.

Saturday night seems like a go for a little gathering. You folks who can't make it don't worry.You can still make it up sometime but don't wait too long.At this point I could find myself closing up soon.I only need to leave 30 days notice so when we close on our house we'll be wrapping up the shop.Depending on the market and what's worth jumping into in the middle of winter,it might not happen untill spring but I really hope it doesn't drag out that long. OK,so let's review.Poor working class dog and his family,loveable guy ,moving soon,needs the extra dough and REALLY could use the extra friends to help out.....at least with the workshop/Subaru stuff. I'm just a couple,maybe few hundred bucks away from getting my '73 tranportation funds together.If folks could swing by and get some stuff,at great prices I might add,it'd help the cause.

Hey!!! Not one of you little boneheads complimented Rob on his bitchin black beauty!! Schuuuuuuuuwwweeeeeeeeeet! First Subaru that I owned I think was a '74 coupe or '76 DL.....or was it.....

Motorhead and Ramones gets the jobs done faster.Any good punk from AOD to X and all the "The" bands. Sunday nights are dedicated to the New Age shows.Ambient stuff.

This Saturday is out as of this moment.But if folks want to drive up for a night time blast they're welcome to make arrangements.I figure to be available Saturday night sometime after 6PM 'till ????? :cool: Otherwise let's go for a group day so folks can meet each other and annoy each other or whatever it is we do. December______????

Let's hope there's never a vintage car odometer checkpoint in the future.Mine is just barely used these days but the trip to Carlsile alone eats a good chunk of the allowed mileage....if I were to pay attention to that. :cool: So,once the model year has hit the showrooms it's considered 25 years old?Or do you have to wait untill the year turns?I never looked into that,but I'd expect to get an '80 registered as classic after September/October of this year.

Pardon my lack of spellcheck on "commaradety"/whatever...where the heck did I pull that one from ??? Yup,it's 25 years here and you get away with freakin murder.When my '78 roars into Carlisle this year it'll likely have straightpipes.At the very least I'll have the pipes for non-show.Since I now own most of the original exhaust system new I might get purist about it and show the car as it left the showroom. Wanted:1977-1980 Brat in CT Also wanted:Anything 25 years or older that gets over 30mpg.

Hey you 80's owners......you feeling it yet? Your cars are approaching or turning into vintage.....catch the buzz man,you'll love it. As for us 70's folks,the numbers are growing and most of the new members are helpful and genuinely concerned for each others rides.Of course there's a couple of snotballs out there too but we're just going to leave them be as they're young and on thier own path to "greatness". I had another cool time yesterday with another vintage,yet all around,Subaru enthusiast.Nice little day trip,decent little Gen I Brat retrieved....all part of the fun and commeradity that stems from this board. The fact that several New Englanders are now sporting vintage Subarus is very satisfying to say the least. Perhaps its a case of "misery loves company" but the friendships are genuine here.There's no showy types,no "outspenders",just a healthy polulation,very communal.Hopefully we can all party together a little at Carlisle or even a Holiday Classic at my place before the doors are closed for good. Thanks to Subarufreak for the great day and excellent driving!!!!!Like I was behind the wheel,gotta love it. Cheers!

Honored as well.Gosh,to have all my 70's Subaru experiences in clear vision.......now that's a task! Just get 'em,worry about particulars later. Most of the planet doesn't know squat about these little beasties.I'd like to see some muscle car freak come over and tell me all about GL/DL features of the 70's.......yeah,right.But noetheless we should get as detailed an account as possible and archive the details since WE are the vintage Subaru Heads of State. :-p
