If Ivan takes care of you I'm cool with that. Otherwise I'm not working this weekend so I'll do my best to dig mine out. Either way they'll sell soon , so do what's best for you. Cheers!

Yeah , something like 3.89 US quarts .... If you are going to remove the head , you will of course have to remove the intake. To avoid a bit of coolant getting the job messy you can drain the heads and thereby the intake manifold too , by removing the allen head plug underside of the head. Just draining at the lower radiator hose doesn't cut it. There will still be coolant above and in the head. I know we all try to avoid extra work but you really need to do this right. Take the advice above and expect to need some time to get it all done. Good luck. Headgaskets are available from "drivesubies" who is Danny W. Also known as "dannybreadman" on eBay where you'll find the factory headgaskets and more.

Where is that? Not really right to say it could be anything. Very limited. Please show me where my inertia switch is on my 78 wagon. Thanks

Alternator to V/R to fuel pump. the service manual recommends you replace the V/R and alternator at the same time. One guy here said "that's phooey" and that manuals lie sometimes ....granted there are supplements issued and service memorandums ....but I've had great success when you change both. Yes , I know you probably had both in great shape and are wondering how the alt. could go out but ....you tell us what you found , please. One wire is telling a story it seems. Check for break. Good luck.

I unquestionably have at least one. Talk soon. Frozen up here right now. Minor break on Sunday into Monday then dropping back down. My wheels are all right up front for quick packaging.

My eyes .... Yikes. 4wd valance is a hot item. I'm going to hold off for now.

There's a storm here now but I might be able to get a set out for you this weekend. I might have a rebuilt set. Good used for sure. Ctsuba has some too. You're welcome to try him but he's probably too busy now.

And AGAIN , I'm trying with THIS post thread to reach out to those who over the last couple of years have been in contact with me where I neglected to come through with parts and wheels I said I had but simply could not get to. I do appreciate that you new folks have needs and know your money is the same color. But please - given the title - allow me to reconnect with some folks who've already been hoping for certain items. Thanks. Have to check on door card but probably no Brat.

Hey Rusty Brat , umm , please don't hijack my sales. Especially if you want something from me. Get back after the storm here. Ciao

I should know by now .... Dang ! No patience for slide show right now. Sorry.

Same question about the cowl. Silver or grey? Front valance 2 or 4WD ?

Good stuff is right!!! Surprised a few items shown haven't gone yet. Are those fenders 1978 grey or 1979 silver?

Keep me in the loop. Very busy often working two jobs but one way or another keep in touch. My son is 16 and desires one.

Windshield I have. Hood and bumpers yes but one or both might be at ctsuba's place. Front end protector - look at the old brochures. Iron 2x4 bumper with a top loop. Has provision for winch and super large skid plate.

Interior ceiling liners? Me? Maybe we had some we could have gotten when ctsuba did his last major move , but I don't recall actually possessing any liners. If I do it's been stored folded in a box because nothing in my stock that large is exposed and flat. Was this really in our previous conversations in PM or ??? Ctsuba is probably the only guy I know who might have one. Drivesubies - Danny might too.

Dual range 1981?

Very interested. Pics from Shawn would be great. We know you're very busy Shawn thanks very much if you can. More direct to moosens at yahoo I have mechanicals and a few goodies for it. Any Snug-Tops around CO ? Or any topper.

I'm on my way !! Might take me a decade or so but I'm on my way .... D - Happy New Year !!

Good luck !! Cheers!

I don't think any additive will help , but maybe it'll loosen up that valve enough and leave a coating on it your oil doesn't , so it won't stick. I'm not opposed to trying especially since trying the least expensive method works best on the budget. We've heard various causes , some of which you've covered already. "Crack in the coil pack ' , "arching spark wires" , etc...all possible. But you've done your best to eliminate those I see. You guys get New Years before us so have a GREAT one! Cheers!

No , we ended up getting in an accident with that car and dumping it off. I recall a top notch master Subaru tech telling me about this issue. I know its awkward for many people but see if you can go by a dealer and get an older tech off to the side. They'll be able to explain it better. Something to do with the manuacturing where that last valve sits out and gets more cold and condensation .... causes it to stick. Correction would require some labor for sure. Valve job or head replacement most likely. We would get on the highway entrance ramp and have the SAME problem act up in almost the exact same place every time. I had thoughts that there was something external causing it like some sci-fi magnetic force ...LOL I swear it was happening every time and in the same spot.Once we'd get past the next mile or so it'd improve , but not without sometimes having to just pull over and let it correct itself at idle. VERY annoying.

Sorry to hear about the VA inspection. First thought is to find that light in the back of the dash and disconnect it. Good luck.

In that shape that's what's going to happen. Sorry , I've been there and I can tell you that when people are serious about a certain vehicle they will pick it apart , just as you would , and cut you down for every little thing they see. I know its a bit frustrating , but given the economy I think $1500 is about it for the condition. Please , don't get upset , but I'm going to go through your listing now and give you an idea of what the "other guy" thinks. Four pictures is rather limited to the potential buyer. If they see the scars and dents like yours show you'd better balance that out with clear shots of the underside which is what's most important to the buyer - assuming the buyer is an enthusiast. I can excuse what the exterior looks like if its not going to need huge amounts of work underneath. I can't tell that from your four pics. Working left to right - pic 1 - Scarred up fender and front valance looks rough. Anyone who's after these for some time probably knows the front valance for a 4WD is difficult to find in great shape. Fenders aren't so easy either. Half stiped hood? Looks suspicious. Makes me think the driver's side took a nose nudge. Steel wheels , nothing horrible there but a buyer probably would lean into it more if it showed some spoked wheels. Pic 2 - Rear window about to fall out !! That's what the other guy sees. You and I know better but still its too rough around that glass. There's WORK to be done there too. Silly stuff hanging in the windows and Mc D's cup looks like a young owner who did not take the car too serious. Home made bumper not horrible but far from orininal and nothing to really brag about. Pic 3 - Not a great blue on the air filter box. Stands out to anyone who knows these cars. Rust on the deck under the wiper motor. If I'm buying a car I have to pay to get transported I want it solid. Clean that up and spray a pale yellow over it to remove that from people's minds. OR take that donut out and show the complete deck if its not like that corner and people will see the overall solidness in that area and disregard the small issue by the wiper motor. And , that donut could be a full size steel wheel to give the buyer more confidence that they are buying from someone who fully cared for the car. Would be better to show the deck clean and the spare off to the side or in its place in an extra shot. Pic 4 - Nothing horrible there but the tach and switches added look awkward. Mis-matched horn pad. The usual cracked dash. Covers are cheap on eBay. I know you're not going to go get one but be sure to tell the potential buyer that they are out there and maybe even add a link to one of the suppliers of dash mats or covers.Missing gas pedal. Again , stuff hanging and flame seat covers only make me think I'm dealing with someone young who really doesn't know or care for this car. The description - You lost me on the first line !! "Badass" ??? Poor writing....I'm obviously dealing with a kid here. I'm out ! That's the basic thought of the guy over 35-40 , and like it or not that's a realistic market share. Put much less of YOU into the description - your phrases , your perspective , your example of your uncle's cheffy ..... I know you probably want to throw things are me now , but I'm just trying to help you sell it. Third party interventions are not always pleasing but can be used as a guide. I hope you come to take this post in the right way. I suggest you print my post and start going around the car and correcting or more well hiding what was mentioned. Take the listing down now before more people see it. Now you're on your second eBay run and people looking have seen it twice. Come back and in the new listing title put something that makes the viewer see you've made improvements. That's my opinion. Best of luck with it. Please keep in mind i've just spent time I really don't have to do this so please take it as constructive and not a trashing. Cheers!

I thought the subject title was "If you've sought parts from my stash" ..... Mostly trying to get the stuff people asked for previously so I can feel better about finally accomplishing that goal. BUT >>>>>> since you guys are also vintage heads I'll surely consider your requests. I think I may have the tail lights. Should have an engine , sure do have a tranny , but please give me until GOOD WEATHER before we even try to get those large items going. I've gotten engines and trannies shipped to me but have only shipped a tranny once or twice. Sorry , but absolutely NO 14" or 15" wheels in four lug. Have some Legacy five lug 14" steels and I think a set of alloys - not horrible but certainly used. They were going to be my winter set but I probably could cut them loose if someone needed them. Super cold weather and snow coming so forget about me going to storage much , if at all , the next three days.

77 is both Stage 1 1977 here is like the previous run. Stage 2 is late 77 thru 79. But what I'm thinking about early and late is that the 72-75 era had slightly different clocks and radios too. No biggie. I should have a black panel for you from a 75 4wd wagon which has a fancy design. Can you please send or post a pic of exactly which type you have? I also have 1979 panels in black but might change my interior over to that color. Was going to see how it looks come springtime.
