Anybody actually go this year ?

Used is what I have resorted to. Thanks or the reminder , I need to swap mine for the same reason. And as you probably know already it'll always be on that chewed spot when you are in front of a crowd. Something most morons don't understand and they snicker as if your car is a pos.

You see the finish ? From what I recall you're going I need to improve the top coat. I sincerely hope I'm wrong. I am fortunate ? Enough to have gotten one glass fender about 12 years ago which has an excellent finish that will need minimal work. I'm not sure who made these as it was a random purchase from an unknowlegable source. At this point I might even sell mine this spring when I go through storage. Hopefully one of the buyers of this mentioned lot in Pittsburg come thru.

I think you have my 77-79 and maybe a 72-76?

Not trying to take away from posters business but I don't think he's selling factory service manuals with wiring diagrams in color , which I have and several others I'm sure. Just saw some on eBay cheaper than I'd normally let mine go for. As for harness , I hope he can come through for you. If not one of us might have one.

No rush for me. Good luck with the trailer load.

If I can get mine (77-79 FPM) I'll send it to you. Another member here has another one of mine - ahem - but its in good hands. Maybe he'll see this and help out. Is that your name ? I've seen it spelled three different ways now. "M" ? Molan ? You know, I sent Danny my ff-1 books, so you actually have my book. Danny never got around to getting it back to me. Might be a 360 book too. Hard cover green I think it was. Anyhow , talk soon.

Yeah , I agree and wish I were included But I just want to see the guy make some cash back on this lot. I haven't had contact with Danny much these last two years but I sure do recall the big purchase and logistical efforts involved. Off the top of my head I recall Danny saying things like "18 hoods , 52 radiators , crazy numbers like that. 1000 points sets , etc. Again , best of luck and looking forward to probably getting some stuff although I'm feeling a huge change of tide coming..... Nolan , we'll talk about those Sport Mags soon.

Nolan , are you noticing the pattern of the labels to era ? Green - early - some 360 , ff-1 , and sometimes goes into early 70's Reddish label - 70-72/3 , purple label next , light blue with thin script , blue , etc. If you'd like to actually move some product I suggest you try to add some later 70's items with the blue labels. The early stuff has an extremely limited buying audience. Lots of talkers and admirers but few owners with functional vehicles. Looking forward to making some buys.

May or may not have center caps. I've seen them and you now probably have them from Danny. We can talk trade too. Paul

Send me a PM with an offer.

Cuba mentioned " length of wire" , YES , thanks for posting that. Have alligator clips on the ends if possible. Those unknowing , you may have to one day run a jumper from the battery positive to your fuel pump to get home etc. Great simple addition you'll be ever thankful for having on that day.

Best of luck ! I'm sure there are too many ideas in your mind right now but of course I'm going to offer the thought/suggestion that single bay rentals in existing shops are out there. Maybe do that for a short stretch while you are afforded some in between time to hunt out offers. Guys like you will have plenty of work from word of mouth. And if possible throw a bone to your old service writer.

Go-Pro !! Edit it all down and post the tasty stuff online for us - YouTube etc. Hoping for a good blow out day at storage soon. I'll give you a message on that soon, I hope.

Plan on the seats being uncomfortable .... Glad to see you going forward with the blue beauty.

Between the various folks with those rear panels (valance ?) I'm almost certain one of us has at least one for the early Coupes. I know I sent Danny on his way with some to match up.

Sorry to hear ... Best of luck with the insurance and next car.

Danny's old lot ? Still have all those wheel aprons ? 1978 4wd Wagon. Talk to you soon!

Time for the annual Import / Kit-Replicar Show in Carlisle PA For those who've been around here you know the deal. To the newer folks here: We once built up a good group but for the last several years next to nobody goes anymore. But don't be discouraged if you think you'd like to go and it's not a gouge in your wallet or schedule then do experience it once at least. These days it's just not as old school as it used to be. But there's always plenty cool European and Asian beauties. These Carlisle events are actually billed as National events but who's kidding who when it comes to Subarus. Please post if you are going and just maybe it'll work into some plans of mine. And if you are near NYC or western CT etc do check out Caffeine and Carburetors! You'll freak , trust me. Enjoy your summer northern hemisphere!!! Cheers!

Right on !!

Subarus needed ! You've heard of others but this one is top dog. Real easy to get to. Go early , leave early 8:00-9:30 and you've seen millions of dollars worth of cars , and maybe an old Subaru too. I'll add a link later but it'll take you two seconds if you search it. Hoping Doc Jim brings his 360 , would be nice to not be the only guy with an old Subaru taking ALL the complements. Look for my 78 wagon likely parked in the central commuter lot or near Pine St. You can't beat what these rich folks break out but you can show lot of qualities their money can't and plenty of folks realize that. Everyone says similar lines like " you know that'll run forever" .... No Cheet !!

That sling , many of which are leather , has a spring that hooks from it to a small sheet metal piece atop the transmission. The mid point assistance makes a huge difference in tension. I've tried to use a leather shoelace in place of the spring but instead ran it up to a spot I could tie off to but that was not good enough. The rubber piece with the washer is the grommet for the firewall and you want to tuck that washer into the rubber - you'll see when you get up close to it. Yes , these are a pain. Check the pedal box for breaks in the side wall caused from excessive pressure we all tend to apply in hopes of shifting near normal.

Definite squeak will result in definite problem. Routing isn't too difficult but make sure anyways and that hanger spring with the sling over the cable is key - as I've witnessed on my 78. There is a sheetmetal piece that should be atop the bell housing area more towards the firewall. There's a spot for that spring to hang on. Anything you can do will help over time. When not right we go thru cables in like 15k.

Same thing many of us have gotten into. You'll be fine. Just jump in , we'll get you swimming.

Search Skip's dual exhaust thread for kicks. I hope it's still up in the Archives.
