Bump possibly getting an '84(?) wagon to be parted out tonight or over the weekend. Supposed to rain Saturday,we'll see.Call or email,stop by if you can....

Bump.....what ever happened to the upstate guys??

You tell 'em Shawn....I mean Mr.President,sir.

i've got almost everything you need if you want to go for it. I parted an '83 GL-10 sedan and have everything from the engine compartment.i might not have the crossmember,but the rest is there.You can have it all for $30 plus shipping.Email me if interested.

Factory Service Manuals on eBay,even better-can be found for under $10.You'll want the edition printed October 1978 for your Brat,but having the April '78 or '79 won't hurt in they show up cheap,and sooner than the Oct. '78 edit. Like Shawn said.....Also check the cables especially the grounds to the engine and body.Vacuum out the voltage regulator gently-it's on the passenger side near the battery/coil.Spray the alternator with some contact cleaner. I say do the best you can with the carb and gas.Spray some ether in there,don't pump the pedal,and see how it turns.If it doesn't kick over pump the pedal twice-hold off on the ether,and turn the key again. I haven't heard people mention Seafoam lately but some folks used to say that was THE stuff to use for cleaning the old carbs out.MMO works too. Where are you located? Main thing is keep the body clean underside and remove the bottom bolts of the fenders and clean out the crap that builds up in there.Gas tank filler tube area is usually a catch spot for dirt/rust too.Rear skirt-under the rear bumper-check that too. Brakes will need some attention,Wheel cylinders are cheap on eBay or even at some stores still.Rotors also on eBay. Might want to spray some PBblaster on the spark plugs beforehand and remove them,check the condition,clean-or replace.Remove the distributor cap and clean up the contacts with a light sandpaper-like 220-400 grit. These are true workhorses-the 1600 Brats.I say cherish it-or let me know when you want to sell it.

Note:THe revised 1400 at the end of the run had the familiar exhaust we know and love today. Those "C" pipes have got to be tough to come by.I know here you don't need emissions testing for cars that old so you could do whatever you wanted below the noise ordinance.

We could always do a run up there and just seek out power lines and ask the locals with lifted Chevy's,etc. It's so nice up there.I think Hooterville is up there somewhere so maybe we'll run into Eb or Mr.Kimball,maybe hit Sam Drucker's store for a pop. If we don't come up with something solid I'm driving up anyways.No way is Eric coming all this way and not getting to hang with the east coast Subakind.It'd be great if you guys (Eric's crew) could come down to the city for a weekend too.Bring bail money! One way or the other I'll be seeing the Zap man.

You know I'm holding some brown stage I interior stuff.....and there's 3 '74's in a yard near me.The guy is a wongleflute but I'll work on him if I can stop by soon.

Nice day!! I need to move.:-\

Saw your call last night but I got tired fast.Too much fun during the day with the kids. I'll call later. BTW,I also confused things.I have a good rear glass seal right now,it's my front windshield that'll need a new gasket. The database is a great idea.I've heard that some guy has a Vintage Subaru website......

Big week guys.I'll be concentrating on my bathroom and getting my place ready to sell but..... ahh,the nightime....you know it's the right time.......for goin' nuts in the cool air,tunes,beverages....feelin' like you can work all night and not break a sweat. Anyone willing to stop by in the evening any night,please contact me so I can be there when it's best for you.For now it needs to be a dry weather night because I need to open the garage door and bring stuff out to get a good star Mostly need to sort stuff-keep 'n toss-then label the box.Easy,and it'll go fast trust me.I work,have fun,break balls if we know each other well enough,and try to make work like this go quick.As goodies are sorted you're welcome to first whack at most of the items. I'll be crankin' a good 18 hours of work/parenting duties a day for the next week at least.More coffee,less everything else this week.But you're welcome to bring beer if you'd like.Typical evening hours for me are somewhere within 8PM and midnight-1AM,sometimes insanity sets in full throttle and I lean into the daybreak but I wouldn't do that with company unless they were begging for the punishment.You're welcome to stop by anytime after 8PM and go as you need to.Any help appreciated. Alway make contact before please.Sometimes 8PM turns into 9-9:30,etc...

.....second,THANK YOU!! My wagon showe up at a national car event with a patch on the lower passenger side,covering the ever so slight leaky spot. You'd never know the leak hole was so small.The water coming into the car was way more than you'd expect from such a small hole. Todd,you completely rule for stepping out often and finding exactly what works and what doesn't.Thanks again for being such a great friend and fellow vintage "Subathusiast". Call me sometime and tell me about the removal-installation process. Cheers!

Good goin mate! I've had the same ideas for some time now.Was going to do it to my Brat/Brumby....I'd like lower profile drawers though.That way I could still fit some larger items on top and have the rear seats help box them in.You're is very nice just like it is.With all the free material that comes my way I could probably build both tall and low.Since I have at least 2 wagons they'll always have a home. A pull out that has a leg would be nice too.Basically a workbench/cutting surface,that when you pull it out the leg falls and supports the outer edge. We wood crafters would appreciate this.Quick set-up.Pull up,set up the miter saw,and start working......

Guys,it'd be great to combine interests and go meet Eric Zap while he's here. Anybody have any spots to tromp on in upstate NY? Boneyards??? Utica is right between Syracuse and Albany....beer country!

Anywhere from $150 to $600 or so. Mileage? Exhaust leaks? etc.....they'll determine the value. Funny,but the only sedans I've gotten were either free or under $150-some in excellent shape.Coupes and wagons are typically worth a little more for fun and function value. I've got some outstanding blue interior parts,and tons more for a Stage II sedan-late '77 to '79.It would all fit,and be an upgrade for your sedan.I'd practically give you the rear seat-which is near perfect.Cover shipping,of course. Let me know when you score it.

I'll bring my camera today and take a shot or two for you.

Do you have the old stlye ignition or an upgrade to electronic? If you have the old style you may need an alternator,or at least the diode inside it.Or the Voltage regulator might be shot.THere's not much involved in these cars.With a little time you could have the whole system checked. Check the fuses.Pull them out and physically try to pull them apart.Skip found the fuse I had looked at on my '78 and thought was fine.A tester revealed that there was something wrong and when he yanked on it the fuse just came apart. The only fusible link on these is next to the battery.It's a two wire link,they're parallel in the same connectors. Good luck.A few of us have Factory Serv. Manuals if you need further assistance.

FSM shows a single black wire from the disty to the Negative (-) side of the coil. I've got to run so I'll post back later.

I've been meaning to get to that...i printed the drawing,know the part,but just haven't gone that extra step yet.Sure,stop by as soon as you can and bring one of those mud puppy creations with you.I'll get arrested but man it'll be fun. First Subaru Church of the Resurection going to hell!!!!Save Our Souls....!!!! WagonsOnly and I will be up there later if anyone wants to stop by. 230 Woodmont Rd.-unit 41-C Exit 40 off I-95 in MILFord CT

Stage II 4WD wagons from '77-79 w/quad lights.Fun,functional,nice lines-very Euro-chic.

I'll have to check later today or tonight.

Is this Subazoo-Scott?. If not,there's another Scott up in VT-last known to be near Tunbridge....he's set up for welding,fab,etc. somewhat and has a $200 Brat too...click on Members and contact him....if you're not him.

I'll have to check the FSM for you.Those show up on eBay for like $5 plus shipping sometimes.I might even have an extra.I know I have the complete set for '74 so you're hooked,just give me some time,like might even have the info later. Otherwise remind me,as usual. Right Skip? LOL

Cool beans! Action shots,we want action shots!!!

I'll do what I can for you.Remind me please as there's a LOT going on here right now. I have at least one 1400 at my workshop complete so I'll be able to get the shots for you.Just need time. What wires are you concerned about?
