Yeah , you're doing the Tour , right ?? Like stop by SOA in Cherry Hill. The whole east coast enthusiast scene will be there. Sadly our man Charlie hasn't gotten to see any pics and at this point probably won't be seeing your progress. Sorry for adding sad news to an otherwise fantastic effort and story. I'm glad Charlie at least contributed to your knowledge. Those early Coupes were damn special to him. The day I pulled the uncracked 73 dashboard out was just unreal. I must have leaped in the air for many minutes. And ONLY that guy would have that dash. The stories can just roll on. But that one was tops for me. Danny had the dash last I knew. You do know of course we're going to pull a ton of 72-3 Coupe stuff out as soon as you're done , right? Lol. Very seriously , Charlie is leaving a good amount of ff-1 thru '76 parts that another guy will be handling and I'll probably help him sort it. I know those bits you need are there among the piles.

Martin , we think alike working our vintage vehicles. But I'm a bit surprised at the load you have and I'm not seeing any protection for trim and your rear slider. Are you just going to use it for a while then restore? Just curious. If a lot of us here waited 18 years and found the baby you did I think most of us would be very conservative with it. But power to you man! Enjoy!

It took 18 years to find. I hope he enjoys it in its natural state forever if not at least for a long while.

Enjoy !!!

Above info true for Brats. For wagons you need a Stage II 1977 thru 1979 Stage I 1977 is the leftover body style from 74-76. You don't need that era. I'm willing to have you come up but I just have very little free time. We'll talk soon.

Oh boy...

Hoping our summer does get dragged out like the winter did. Bump for Mark

Ok I have a mission. I'm going to extract a fresh shifter knob. I'm pretty sure there's one I can get easily ..... I hope.

I'm so freakin bad at ever making time for storage I feel lots of guilt so please excuse this old chooch !! Lol Earl's seats keep haunting me. :/ I'm hoping I can contribute some way. Pray to the six stars and maybe a rear gasket will arize from the heap or door seals ....or ??? Jesse , I know you're busy too but think about maybe doing a day of ripping my storage up with me. like maybe when it's not 85 out.

My same wagon typically runs cool too. But sit in traffic and eeeeek !!!!

Gosh if you mean me I'm awful sorry. Ctsuba is in horrible shape right now and I'm just totally unable to get any time at my storage. I'm currently working two gigs with the second being an hour and a half drive if no traffic. Very sorry. I'll truly make an effort asap As for ctsuba's stuff I'm not sure what will happen or how soon.

Man I'm so frustrated that I just have zero time to go through my storage and to get to Charlies so I can review the parking brake routing for you. I do recall when removing them from a 76 GF two door automatic that they were woven through a cross member etc. I am pretty sure I have a new radiator. To not waste time though I think you could locate one through the Internet faster than waiting on me. Looking great. I'll do what I can for you. And I think I might have coupe rear quarter glass with hinges somewhere too. Anyway .... I really need to dig.

If she sells you the car I'm hoping to buy back the wheels and bar or at least get some more dough. Those are fresh wheels out of new boxes , and the bar was also new. I spent much time and effort getting them and was maybe too sympathetic letting them go. Hopefully you get the whole deal and she rounds me up on our deal. Good luck to both of you. It's a pretty nice car!

I should have the original fabric over rubber hoses. I'm not saying I can get them out real soon but I sure will try my tail off as I desperately need to go thru storage and send Earl his seats etc etc The guy who bought Danny's old stock should have a ton of them too. Our best source for info would be ctsuba - Charlie - but unfortunately he's really ill and weak. But if I do stop by and visit I'll ask him if he seems up to answering. He still has a 75 sitting around nearly complete if I can get my eyes to it.

FWD or 4WD ? This one you need I suspect to be FWD

No sweat. Might want to check your timing marks on the flywheel and highlight them or enhance them somehow - rescribe them. Most of us have found they fade so much it is impossible to see the marks in revolution.

Lol And this reminds me of what I see in a certain motorcycle board..... Do try to make separate posts per component or other issue. Trying to get carb knowledge on a post that started as a general is limiting your "carb issue" audience you now desire. all good , just offering so you get max responses from Carb gurus and bangers for lack of a better term. Cheers !! Happy Fathers Day to you Dads !!!

Tough to set up that choke. Double, triple check the butterfly. Manual says something like 16 degrees off horizontal. I did a similar re-do like you not soaking parts and using cleaner , gas , and canned air in a truly backyard effort. But I took my time etc like I can see you did. Now my carb isn't horrible but I can see where I needed to put more effort. Next time I'm soaking everything and finding new jets too. I think you are going to be ok with just tweaking and probably don't have to take it out and soak it to at least make it a strong runner again. No carbs in that distributor stock from Danny ? Parts ? Kits ?

Teased !! Needless to say ...... Sexy

I've seen plenty of those side bars and yes they are for the tow bar option.

Let's get serious sometime soon , eh ??

Just learned what I already knew ...... :/ Don't but CHEAP !!!! Chinese crap strut mounts already cracking like I've never seen ever even in the 40+ year old Subarus rotting away.

djcommie , I think. And Maybe another guy has some NOS too - gopherbroke - again I'm not positive but one of those guys bought Danny's old stock which was originally stored leftovers of the Mid-Atlantic distributor for SOA.

I gotta see the video of this!!! B movie in the making !!! Killer Mopeds From Outerspace !!!

Personally I'd flip the 80's wheels to someone who can use them and score a set of flat spokes that were correct for that gen. Sure you can grind or add spacers etc.... Parking brake cables you need ? The guy who has Danny's old stock should have them new.
