Does that have the four spoke steering wheel? Have interior pics?

Commie , shame on you. Look over an old brochure online. The entire line has the hood louvers and wagons have the rear "gills". Stage 2 1977 thru 79 Deduct three points. No gold star today! Lol

I'm not promising , but based on the info I got I can't see it being over $50 for most of us.

Show me your repairs or share your thoughts on this nagging issue. For those clueless , our pedal boxes are notorious for tears in the flimsy sheet metal resulting in loss of clutch operation. Thanks for your constructive contribution.

The previous Windshield Gasket Group Buy related posts ? Please ? I'm thinking it's time to get the next order going. Let's please clean house so there's no confusion. Several requests for windshield gaskets and recent sales of restored or restorable 73-79's and Gen I Brats have certainly warranted another order. Anyone else want to handle it? One member recently inquired and got a nicer price than previous !!! Should cost the end user less than $50 shipped for sure!! Hard to believe in 2014 ! It's an effort , I've done it twice. But it is over before you know it and all equals out.

Welcome ! Good to see the Vintage bug hitting another east coast resident. DC area is going to be tough but don't give up. Research your oldest dealers and make the rounds as you can , talking with the ELDER service and parts guys. They may offer little clues but you're likely to score a lead on parts or parts cars , or find out what small shop or dealer tech on the side is available to you. Meanwhile , good luck and we're here with parts and help.

What a truely excellent person! Godspeed Ed ! Our condolences to you Qman and of course his family and all of you who had the pleasure to actually be in his company. Another of the very wonderful people from this Board that often was there to help. I feel we should dedicate a moment to Ed in some way. Maybe next chance you get you take your Subaru out over some dirt and sling a healthy roost into the air for our MAN , Ed !

Shame on you , Jim. You're too 360'd out , you've forgotten our Historic Forum here .... LOL Hope all is well. Would be great to run into you at Perkins one day with our dinosaur Subarus. Oh , and there's Caffeine and Carbs in New Canaan http://caffeineandcarburetors.com/ starts back up in September. Might be the last call for this very special meet. Hope to see you there. Enjoy !! Cheers! Paul

Lol I've been synchro shifting my 78 for almost a year now. Unfortunately a cable of any sort won't help because it's the pedal box that's the problem. We once got a gen one brat back like a 3 hour drive or more by somehow using a brake cable I rigged up for the clutch. Not sure what vehicle the donor cable came from.

What if there's snow ?

Bridgeport CT here Enjoy!

Could you please post pictures here? Mostly want to see the rust. Thanks!

One eBay seller has tranny gasket/seal kits. I think it is "svauto" who has them. Maybe you can find them individually too but my guess would be like the previous poster's.

Gasket too? Glad you found one new. Which seller? Danny?

Good luck with it. We've got a 95 Imp for my wife. Automatic which we run in FWD 95% of the time. We're up around 200k now. Enjoy!

Remove the fenders and get rid of the foam tape Subaru used. That's what starts the rust in the "thin metal" spots you mention. You can probably fix those fenders well enough. Some still exist but they are hard to find. Try Danny W known here as "drivesubies" , and on eBay as "dannybreadman". He has them new! Good luck !

Ask them if they can make a dual exhaust set up. People have done it. Search the archives. "Skip" definitely had a nice set up made. Pretty sure he went stainless too.

Looks great for sitting so long. Mice will have left deposits. Check the ducts. Don't be afraid to take the dash out first thing. Then attack the heater unit. You're sure to have acorns or your local rodent fair. Pull the seats out, and get the entire carpet out carefully. There are snap downs , don't just grab and yank. Remove the cowl which is the louvered piece in front of the windshield. Then get all the pine needles etc. out from down inside there. With the carpet and dash out go look for pin holes where the rust is from the debris. Even areas where people don't get much rust that area of the vehicle is notorious. You may need a windshield gasket. Going to be tough but not impossible. We may have to investigate yet another group purchase. I think you should drop the gas tank and treat it accordingly , and blow out / flush any fuel lines. We'll have more to offer. Lots of help here. You appear to have a solid body there. If you scored it for a couple-few hundred you'd always be able to get that back easy. Scrape up some dough and good luck !!!

One great deal is the gas tanks are inboard and may have an excellent chance at going long term. We have a tank or two here , with neck and insulation wrap.

You've got me questioning myself , but I'll check a parts manual as I can. I've got the rear side windows for this car in my stash or with ctsuba or subafreak. These are roll downs I'm pretty sure. I had an old lady 56k GF hardtop that was so hard to let go of. I still have lots of low mileage interior etc for one like this. My stuff is saddle or tan some would say. Underside tells it all but that car looks workable. It surely would always have a home once rescued as long as it's solid.

If he can't help you out we should have a slider here , maybe a straight solid one too. Either in my stuff or with ctsuba . But I'm positive we have them for Gen I.

Still worth having fun with. I've got a hood for it. And plenty other parts including probably all four corners complete wheel/ suspension with disk or drum. Another thing , only disk brakes on coupes thru 75 I think , then 76 they included hardtops .... Something like that. Can you get a VIN off the dashboard and see if it has front disk or drums? Lift hood and check for two port exhaust you are used to seeing or four port exhaust that'll freak you out if you've never seen it. From the phone I'm using I'm guessing it's a 1600 because they didn't mess with 1400's mixed with automatics too very long. Post some info for the folks please. What I've asked about and also if they will sell it whole and for how much. Really really have to check the underside especially where the trailing arm meets the unibody and wheel arches.

Hardtop , just really looked at it. I'll bet it's a GF

A true USA coupe had round lights. To confuse many keep in mind Subaru also offered. Two door sedan with typical squared pillars , AND the HT or hardtop which had less rake angle on the pillars but still not a coupe. This example has roll down rear side windows. A coupe's rears are hinged opening just slightly. Parts manuals shed lots of light. Get the thing , somebody !!! Wtf? There's brats then coupes then cool 4wd wagons ..... Unquestionably at its bottom value now. But some minor money and good effort and that's a $4k car real fast. Should be a 1600 too , yes? I didn't look that close. If it's a 1400 even more rare for someone seeking a low production model.

The side decals added tons of horse power.
