new pic's of the brat UPDATE(HEADLIGHT COVER'S)
moosens replied to junkyardgabe's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
VERY cool! but 2 things..... 1-the stinkin pine cone makes it look like the B isn't there....and becomes German-like in name....ok maybe I'm a little fussy on that. 2-Damn,I missed you at your yard.You appeared to be leaving at around 3:38 I saw you going eastbound on Rt.1 and I was about 10 minutes from your yard.I hit the other yard that was open 'till 5 for a starter that eventually I didn't need.Maybe catch you before the fall...or uhh,winter. You do have that van with Tweety on the spare cover,right?I was in a yellow '84 4WD wagon with a cheesy Sears pod on top. Paul -
Bitchin!!!!!!! Might inspire our local GLF abuser to do the same.Mighty nice job you have going.Looking forward to seeing the final product.

SERIOUS Gen I BRAT shoppers only please
moosens replied to moosens's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
......uhhhh well uhhhh,I'm uhhh,like trying.....but this is a rather special piece which would make a simply intense ride.I'd settle for 300hp or even a little less and probably still be happy.Tube frame......ultra light.....yeeehaaaa. Yup...like that.....I really wish I had the stinkin' 2grand.....arrrrgh. -
SERIOUS Gen I BRAT shoppers only please
moosens posted a topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Ladies and gentlemen,please read thoroughly...the whole post please,before replying.Thank you. THere's a guy up this way with 2 Gen I's..... One(from AZ!!!) is a very solid car but has light surface rust.This is not the typical northeast rust.this vehicle is entirely treatable and can be made nice once again.The interior needs replacement for the most part.Same for paint,plastic and rubber parts...the usual sun baked wholesome un-goodness.....light blue w/black interior. THe other is a daily driver type that is also very solid but from NY.This one I actually rode in and it was very sound.The engine is in very good shape and I believe has 106K on it.Dark green w/blk int.Has some mags with Saab centercaps.The mags I believe are Subaru,the 70's style I can't think of right now and am too busy to go looking. "Subarufreak" and I were up there.I'll answer questions as best as I can or even call the guy for you.He doesn't want to deal with lots of people.He just recently lowered his price from $2500 for both down to $2000. There's a few other parts to be tossed in as well. Here's the wild part.And before you go ape,get in line.I might just get this item and sell the vehicles....or if there is great interest and an eventual buyer I'm working this piece in to be mine for the "handling/search fee",from him,not you. The other piece is a fibreglass Gen II BRAT shell-yes full size,the REAL thing.He also has fibreglass doors and a hood to boot. Calm down.....I know you're excited."Subarufreak" and I both agree that this should be made into a street ripper,not go into the woods to be destroyed after all that work. FORGET about asking about the shell as a seperate buy...ain't happenin'... I'll load up pictures later.The guy wants to deal through me. Subarufreak and I need to get our heads together as we were both very interested.We might work out some deal and I'm pretty sure one of these will be available....the vehicles,not the shell if I have my way....or "SF" has his. Talk to you guys later. -
Gone camping,see you next week.

I had 4 sitting there,now there's 2...so I must have sent yours viaFedEx...but you have a P.O. box...so I guess I need to look over my recent FedEx reciepts. Talk to you soon, Paul -
Hi everybody, I'm looking to get some turbo heads from a guy who stopped by the board.I'm still not entirely clear on the details but it goes something like this.If he ships them from Michigan it'll cost more and if he ships from Canada it'll cost less but be taxed for officially crossing into Bushmerica. So if someone is in northern MI,and can help me out that'd be great. Again,I need to look through my old emails,etc. and find out which town he's near...sorry for the lack of that detail.But let's just say he must be well north,like on or near the border....or over it. If this is the least bit of a hassle I'll just pay the money and get a tissue,cry in the corner and who knows,maybe even get over it. Thanks for any help,if possible.I'll get more details a little later.

About timing belt changing!
moosens replied to romania_subaru's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Florin, Welcome.Your English is fine.We've got a good little Romanian population here in Bridgeport,CT And I'm also half Romanian. You may have trouble with older idler pulleys.If they have much resistance when you spin them it's best to change them.Also as mentioned,when doing the T-belts you want to do the front main,cam seals 'n O rings,etc....all depends how much you want to put into it and how long you want it to last. I'd be happy to get you parts at my discount if you want Subaru parts.I've forgotten what the usual package costs but I can probably find a reciept and check the prices.THere's also some places to order parts from online if you're set up to do that.I'm not sure on customs,but if you want something be sure to email me.

Tough! Mighty tough....the look,the stance,the whole package.Just a sweet car.If you stray from stock how about an EA81T in there with some rear disks? I'll bet it's fun just like it is though.One word:KEEPER!! -
have u seen this brat on ebay yet?
moosens replied to beachbum's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I've got the low mileage EA81 to drop in...the engine crane...the tools...the know-how.....but ain't got no thousands of dollars to toss into one,rustfree or not.But I tell ya,in a couple more years I'll be looking for one just like this...and might drop a couple grand then. -

My beloved touring wagon-1989 GL 4WD.It's the large A/C unit....Hitachi? It wasn't working and summer was all over us.I saw the collector was a healthy green through the glass.I knew the car hadn't been used "properly"-inlaws were using it-so I took it up to the workhole and went over the connections. THere was some corrosion in the black round connector that powers the A/C on the tounge.I took a very thin blade flat screwdriver and wrapped it with some 400 grit paper.Got it in there and cleaned it up.Dab some dielectric grease in there and also cleaned up the grounding points on the strut tower and radiator support for kicks. Bam! Instant relief....shooooooooey!!!! Cool as a cucumbrrrrrrrrr in CT:cool: Hope this helps some fellow sufferer.I can't stand the summer heat.

THere's one here in CT."WagonsOnly owns it and hopefully it'll be running someday soon,on batteries,not petro. We also had someone from Ohio drop one off at the Carlisle show that a group of board members attended.The owner wasn't one of us and as far as I know it was dropped off Friday early and picked up Sunday...maybe the others know more or actually met the owner. I believe the vans are the most rare and even if they weren't they are probably the most desirable.I know I want one. THere was one on the road right near me untill a few years ago.It was last in Stratford,CT,but none of the people I know who have seen it before have seen it lately......a confusing sentence but i think you get the point. Getting to be more New Englanders here.It's about freakin time!

Left a message,sorry I missed your calls. Talk to you soon.

Jesse,my '86 ran the best with next to no emmisions crap on it and all hoses checked,and either removed or blocked up.....all of a sudden I had no flat spot and power like a muthuh.....and then I sent it to the crusher just to "move on"....wish I had at least donated it but at the time nobody I knew close enough wanted it. But of course if you want to sell it you'd better keep all that crap on there and try a good cleaning,maybe a rebuild on that carby.
