PRP should have them. If not you should contact them anyways so they know there is a desire. We had ours made for us - 1970's Subarus - twice. The first time they said they would not stock any themselves but would make our order. The second time they decided to stock their own. Common sense would tell you that if the older gen Subarus have a market then the later gen's would follow. This subject comes up often.

Or was it the belt ?

Ea71 or ea81 early years do have external voltage regulators. Ea82 has internal. Change the voltage regulator at the same time as the alternator - what Subaru recommends. Bench test the alternator before you leave the store.

Way in the back - still a good chance on that one , Tommy. It'll take me a while. But very possible.

Yeah I'm slow at this , we know that. But don't you dare count me out. I truly need to move stuff out. As always , finding that right combination of good available time and weather can be tricky. Big weekend if no rain - This weekend. Locals welcome although I won't expect anyone. We're all busy or on vacation now.

I'm in CT and could ship a set. Would be best via Greyhound. You just go to the nearest terminal they stop at and pick them up. I've got two decent sets and one extremely nice , well protected , low mileage set that I want better money for and would only sell it to someone doing a true restoration. The decent sets I have are a Gen 2 as I recall. One with a green mounting frame and one with maroon. The sweet set is gen one and blue mounting frame. I have some headrests too , have the slider bars they go on. One set of seats has a crappy pistol grip shaft. You could easily sleeve the shaft. That set needing work on only that grip shaft I would like $125 for the seats with all grips ( one needing attention ) and mounting frame. Better set with maroon mounting frame AND headrests with slider bars $250 Near pristine Gen one set $ talk to me. It's a complete set. Sorry , no seatbelts. There may still be a used set needing attention in my stash but I can't easily recall it so it's buried. They are rusty but functional. Good luck. They do show up. All prices mentioned plus shipping. I'd guess around $70 via Greyhound if you're on the left coast.

Switch atop the steering column is for your dedicated parking lights. Turn it off and enjoy your time here. Cheers!

Yeah that's the one , now parked in the field near this building. It's the last Stage I 4WD. Save it !

Seems like my annual July event. Bump. Looking to pare down.

Go 1300. Those are entirely special engines. It is when they punched out that engine to make the 1400 EA63 that they realized they screwed up and removed too much material and left the new design fickle. So personally , if I had space and time I'd tuck away the 1100 for kicks if parts show up - which they still may , but I'd run those 1300's. Once was said by some scientist that the Subaru 1300 was the most efficient engine at the time. Keep us posted please. Enjoy !

1977 4WD wagon. Stage I - the elder body style. Engine out , now sitting in a field for a few days or so but being where it is only the sun is taking life from it. The owner has to scrap it soon , like maybe this week. All parts there , engine in the cargo area. Has a push bar on it too. Check Craigslist Albuquerque , might still be up. I was just out that way but was too busy to go see it. Talked with the owner , seems like good people. He really wants it to go to someone like us.

Find out what the offset is on those wheels that normally go around those calipers to be sure. Older gen owners will tell you stories of trying to put what appear to be the same size wheels on and finding the wheel hits the caliper or even rub against the outer tie rod on tight turns. Several of us ground down the tie rod enough to keep the wheel free. But that's another chapter.

Hill holder - It's probably not going to be right until you set it up and try it , adjust it , and maybe then it'll be fine or keep adjusting. Try going closer to 1/8 inch on that clutch release. Or start at 1/4 but you might find yourself reducing that figure slightly. Been driving my 92 same as yours with slight bearing noise for so many miles I've lost track. Been looking for a replacement but so far so good.

Welcome to the Family. Ride on brother.

All very nice , but I'd appreciate it if I could check on MY post and see actual info pertaining to my request. Have a great day.

Sounds great but I'm not going to yards these days here in CT. For one thing there aren't many old Subarus left up here. And I'm asking about new. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that. Good idea for many other parts of the USA Here , people replace cars quickly and the yards don't waste time on older cars.

Thanks for the input !

Thule 1050 series from back in the 80's , I have a set and have locking feet. But I'm in CT

Nice base to work with. Pretty sure I have the gas pedal. My old 79 was the same colors as yours. It's still going out east somewhere.

79 so you have all blue seats , correct? Not black along the sides of the bottom section? The blue in the 79's is the best year. Those carpets were like turquoise , sort of. Exaggerating a little but they really had a sweet color.

We have two old Legacys needing new struts. Both wagons. One FWD and one AWD. The FWD I need all Four for sure. Definitely need fresh mounts up front , probably all around. I was considering the average guy Excel-G series , does that sound fair enough for mostly smooth road , city and highway ? The AWD I might go for the next higher grade. But could easily settle for the same Excel-G's again. This car I might be able to just use the donor car fronts for some time going forward because it's a low mileage donor car. But I'm certainly buying new for the rear and require those fairly soon. Do you guys go thrifty and get the strut boots ( gaters) and bump stops and bits from different sources and different mfg's ? I see items like Monroe has a less expensive boot and seat rubbers etc. Are they decent enough or spend the money on bits with KYB ? I will unquestionably be buying all struts and top mounts KYB.

Those pillar covers show up randomly. Probably sold all mine. Back in the early 80's my brother took that cover and made a hinge so it opened and behind it he put the alarm lock. Just a story , probably not much reason to do that these days with modern alarms.

Got jumpseats too but I've seen a few sets recently out west and not so bad prices.
