I lose any more teeth and I have to move to the Valley. Sounds like sir toke is on an elder 2.2

I have “131” , sorry. This is an older part number and may have superseded. Mine is 12003AA131 Still has its part tag and the order tag with my name on it from the dealer. It has one tube at the top. Tried to add a pic but no go.

And if the seal or gasket wants to slip out you can use a little Vaseline or dab of grease depending on what you’re doing. Nothing is best if you can achieve. The infamous O ring for the EA82 Mickey Mouse was always one of those.

You retired ?? Damn ! Keep a chair in the basement ?? Enjoy it Jim !!!

Had a live lizard escape while my son was inspecting it when old dad told him not to do that. LOL So has to pull the dash on our 92 Legacy. It was easy enough , caught the lizard , and then learned about how the speedo cable can not quite fit back until all in place and then needed that extra push.

13 hours , the suspense is killing me !!!

Larry - lmdew is a great source I must add.

There are still new ones available. It’s a common problem. Most cars in the northeast 95-99 especially , will get rusted out at the bend where sand collects on top. And that plastic cover works against you if you don’t spray under it often. Too late now. There’s a new one hanging in my storage. If you can’t find one send me a PM here. Not really anxious to let mine go yet.

Success on the horizon , I can see it.

Reach up there following the cable from the firewall slide your hand until you hit the backside of the cluster. Press in and then check. Dashboards and clusters can be removed but you might be able to avoid that.

All that and looks like he’s missing the 88 !!! Keep looking. Maybe an 88 brochure on eBay or ?

No paint chip leaflets on eBay to review ? I know I see them randomly. Maybe Mick’s web pages of brochures has them. Search “Indy’s World” I think is what he has them under.

The 360 series here in the USA and I guess several markets. It failed here so they quickly supplied a boxer engined , slightly larger and totally awesome ff-1 series , given other names in various markets. Star as they were called. That lasted just a few years before the “Leone” series which was here in the USA around 1972. There are overlaps if each series into the others. 1972-77 Stage One is part one of the First Generation as we refer to them. 1977 Stage two through 1979 cars would be part two of the first gen. Brat is the same generation through 1981. Next model cars begin 1980 Next model Brat begins 1982 usa

In this case I don’t see an under hundred K interior in any of the pictures. Indicators I type about often would be the Caution decal on the drivers door among others. But I can see the first red Brat you have in the building is the sweetie. Maybe it is original mileage and just a bit more weathered. But no worries. There’s a good amount of used parts showing up lately. I just sold an uncracked dashboard. Others have posted (boasted) of theirs so you have a shot at one. Or there’s covers. Have fun and enjoy the process.

Your first rodeo ?! Did I miss something ? You can find gasket sets and carb kits. Whichever pedal box you chose to install be sure to inspect it well and certainly read the stories about those wearing a crack in the side and causing clutch cable issues. Reinforce it before you install if at all possible. Lately I see a good amount of used parts. Not just mine. I see guys cleaning garages out etc. Some good offers out there. Heater box will be nasty and difficult to make great again , but not impossible. Maybe before splitting one open just select the cleanest of the three and work with that one as is. Tough to tell your heater core without seeing it. Those can still be found too. Same for the cock (spigot). Great project. Enjoy !

Dashboard at the far left (drivers USA ) right up by the windshield. Also stamped into the unibody in the engine bay on the firewall. Its a gen one so you can’t go wrong. 78 , 79 not a big deal. 78 will have black lower panels on the seats.

Enjoy !!! Just sold a hood release cable. Might have another buried away. I have tons of parts for those. New and used. My guess is you’ll love this one more than your second gen as soon as you get it looking pretty again. 78 will have points , 79 electronic disty. You’re a smart guy , you’ll figure it all out. Plenty of factory service manuals out there.

Subaru3 - Todd , likely has a nice one from back in the day well preserved. My stock might hold one that would give you a good idea to match but I’m not sure how soon I’ll come up with one. Sorry , hope Todd or someone has a nice example for you. As for a color number - that’s something I don’t ever recall hearing about.

I just put some on eBay. I don’t have much 80’s stuff , only a very few random items. i know I listed an ashtray , a grab handle for rear right door with a couple cargo cover catches , couple other items or so I am too tired to think of at the moment. Look me up - cashingmystuffin on eBay. My items (Subaru) are mostly 1970’s. Bailed out of the 80’s cars long ago. Random stuff pops up now and then. Enjoy !

Front valance or “lower skirt” as some refer to it. Pretty sure those and the 4WD wagon are the same. They all get banged up but if your wagon has one that’s at least workable it could be a smile on your face one day to at least have one.

Like Bennie said. basics like fuel pump , components , front struts - save your top mounts unless they’re hopeless , 4WD related items , front end steering / suspension , engine , tranny , linkage , radiator , consider cutting the front radiator support Incase of a front end accident , windshield ( nice n careful and yes you can ) , dashboard , shifters , heaterbox (or at least salvage the parts that break - look for white plastic etc. , dome lights , wiper motor , steering wheel complete. That’ll keep you for most of your lifetime and maybe help the next guy too.

And uhhh , welcome !!
