How rare is the 1980 1600 dual range Brat
moosens replied to bratsco1's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Pat,I don't think I have that Gen I Brat window.I know where one is sitting in Maine and the guy is holding it for me.I need another week or so to be able to get a weekend run up there.If you can hang tight the window is yours free and I'll cover shipping.Thanks again for all your help with the '73 -
In no particular order...... Damn,Johnny's dead too.... Ted,I sent you diaphram for the shifter the other day. Bard-the C drive is full and dopey me,I delelted some system stuff....it'll all work out with local help...I think,but thanks and if I do need help I'll surely let you know. Ed-thanks,yes she contacted me before my computer went south....I can probably help her a little.....and maybe really make her day if I score this particular 48k Gen I Brat in Maine.It has rust but has my blue dashboard that I need,which will allow me to release the near perfect black dash I have sitting around. Thanks for all the nice comments.Gotta fly...see you all soon.

Pat,I'm still scratching up the dough to get the '73 back here.Thanks for your patience. Jerry,i sent you the d/r 4spd shifter boot/console,enjoy! Paul BTW,I think my brother put that same early d/r tranny into my '78 Brat back in '83 or so. -

Hatch patrol brat at Pull-a-part
moosens replied to Subafly's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Parts????Anyone willing to snag a few things? Sehag is looking for a dashboard,*_so am I_*if it's blue and not cracked.Willing to cover time and shipping. Also interested in axles,and probably a few little items too. -
Hi guys,welcome back Ed. No need to stockpile,as I stated,just keep those specific parts I mentioned,and others in mind when you see a car that offers them.Perhaps you're only there for one part and you see these others....it's a definite resale item if I mentioned it. I was going to post the exact same example Ed gave of certain items like the headlights not being worth the effort in the longrun. One thing to keep in mind though.This vintage Subaru or older Subaru for economic reasons thing is catching on here on the east coast.I'll bet those headlights will be able to sell for $30 once again,but infrequently since it'll be rust zoners paying the higher ticket.Don't toss them out just yet.

New Pictures in the Gallery 1978 BRAT
moosens replied to Seahag1978's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Ahhh,well that's cool.We need to import a whole boatload of them from place like Ed's. Cool Mary,hope to meet you guys sometime.One member here typically has a dunes permit for the Cape."ByTheSea"-a.k.a. Brad-big wheeled Loyale wagon,that's him,on the Cape during season,Belchertown when school is in. Talk to you soon. Paul -

moosens replied to Seahag1978's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Cool! Mary,where in Mass. are you guys?I've got a '78 4WD wagon.There's only a few of us left in New England with these 70's cars....but you knew that. -
Oh,I don't expect anyone to go buying up these in hopes of resale.Just keep it in mind so if you see a car that has the parts I mentioned please let us know.I'd gladly send you the dough for any of those as needed. Right now I need the EA82Turbo exhaust from rear of the downpipe.Emissions will be back here soon so I need to be ready. Anyone trying to keep an EA82 D/R in the rust zone is going to need that linkage.We'll also be hunting the fuel pumps,etc. as they are way too expensive from the dealer and the store equivalents generally aren't much cheaper. Gas piping,brake lines too.I know most of you probably wouldn't want to mess around but since the yards drain the tanks it shouldn't be to hard. For us,the rust just encrusts the brake and gas lines-when cars aren't attended to properly-and nothing sucks worse than not being able to stop while your car is on fire from gas dripping on the broken exhaust...... Anyone parting a car leisurely in their yard would be kind to save these for us folks in need.

New England is where Subaru built its reputation.This is,or was,the "other hot spot".Never mind all the B/S,we who live here know the deal. I can honestly say that I often get FREE to $150 running cars with under 150k. I'm surprised.I thought the western hills of NC had a great Subaru population around Boone,etc. Perhaps it's like up here these days.Subarus just don't sell as well as they did in the 80's.There's just too many choices now for 4WD and you know these well to do folks up here "have to" have the Mercedes or Volvo or Lexus,etc.....so there's far less Subarus per capita than ten years ago.Still see plenty of them, but the "box" era (Loyale style) ruled the roads in their hay day.

YES YES World USMB meet in NZ
moosens replied to subGSR's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
My sentiments exactly. NZ is truely one destination I'd like to arrive at someday.After hearing all the vintage Subaru talk I'm even more intrigued. -

Go Yanks!!!! Sorry,but I gave all my money to everything/everybody TV told me to....that's what Americans do.:-\ Actually most of us are working class dogs on this board.A couple of nuclear scientists but they don't mix too much with the gang. -
THis is why it just doesn't sit well with me when a young kid gets a 70's Subaru and doesn't take it seriously. I mean,I was young and did the same crap to Ford Mavericks and stuff like that.But these machines we admire are truely functional and downright economical.But when you're pissing daddy'd money away it often doesn't matter what anybody says. I really wish I had a yard.hopefully soon we'll be in a proper house with garage,yard,and Subarus all over the place.....redneck stlye.Call me Bubba. To send that '76 GF coupe to the crusher really pissed me off.Even with almost every detachable part removed and just the hull sitting there it looked awsome.Timing is everything as they say.I needed it to go but had no place to tuck it away.Then things changed....I offered it for free and nobody wanted it....then later people spoke up....TOO LATE!!!! Toss in a '75 4WD wagon and a '75 2WD wagon and there's 2 more that I let go.The 2WD should be done right by WagonsOnly.The 4WD went to the crusher due to rust but it could have been driven a little as a beater with some help. Personally,after I get the '73 from Pat I'll be looking for the elusive tailgate wagon of '72-73.Wouldn't mind a 360 van.Also would like another '75 4WD wagon that isn't rotted. If money and time were no problem I'd already have the '79 wagon in Florida for sale here,and a few others now that I have a couple of places to park cars at.

Just got inspired by another post.You guys could really help us if you got these EA82 and EA82T parts while bonin' in the bone yard: D/R 5spd shifter linkage (thanks for the inspiration ) Brake calipers EA82T exhaust Prop shaft Fuel pumps!!!!! SPFI and MPFI Turbo Probably a few other items too.this is a good starter list. THANKS for any help in the future. Yes,I know you guys need these too but since you all say there's so many out there that there should be plenty to go around. Right now here on the east the 90's cars are showing up all the time in the yards.We typically have lower mileage engines and trannies since the rust catches them before they're due for retirement.Keep that in mind for yourselves. Cheers.
