I agree and if I am not mistaken, you can't place that much in transported cars. I'm thinking a box or 2 per car.

How do you make the decision on things like spare body parts, engine parts and and other fairly heavy things? I know if I sell my vintage sheet metal today, tomorrow I will wreck the car! Decisions, decisions!!

Heck 2-3 K is pretty good. It would have to be easier to pick up at one spot and drop at one spot, vs zig zagging with multiple clients. If I could put some stuff in the cars that would be so cool! Moving is just a PITA, but life has a way of changing. I've learned that nothing is permanent! Todd

What do you think would be reasonable $ $ for the hire of a car carrier for 1 pickup and 1 dropoff of: Dallas, TX to Philadelphia (area) 78 Subi wagon 79 Subi wagon 81 Plymouth Champ hatch 79 Dodge Colt hatch 95 Impreza 2 door 95 Impreza 4 door maybe 1 more Legacy I guess I would fill a trailer! I love my cars and I have no intention to sell the vintage ones anyway! Yes, I will keep tools. Everything when it comes to cars and car parts is HEAVY! Years of collecting parts and now years to unload! Always, "I better keep it, I might need it someday". Funny how getting older makes you rethink this justification!

OK...so I am planning a move back to my home state of PA and have become quite challenged with my "collection" of tools, parts, engines, stuff and MORE STUFF! HEAVY STUFF! I'm relocating from TX after 25 years here, so it's not like across the street. Has anyone in the car hobby made a big move? How do you decide on what to take and what to trash, or give away? I have cleaned out ALOT of items, but they seem to regrow overnight! So many things for my vintage 70s Subarus and also my Dodge Colt stuff...(but not so large). Then there is the Impreza/Legacy stuff! Also, any suggestions on transporting 7 cars all at once? What a hassle, but I need to get back home. Thanks, Todd

Need Tranny mount for 79 Brat ASAP!!!!!
SUBARU3 replied to biffanyus's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
I believe the Gen 1 trans mount is the same as many of the later version/year models of FWD and 4WD cars thru like 1989. Look at the Rock Auto application for the gen 1 BRAT mount. aDEA Part # A6700 www.rockauto.com -

Those damn leaking window seals!!! Leroy is so right! After you get it fixed, place towels under the seat and check after EVERY rain! Better yet...locate a rear window seal.....someplace! That is the issue. We need to get those remade, like we did the front gaskets! At least on the station wagons, you can use the VW beetle one. Good luck! Todd

It was sold in April.

78-79 brat ignition system pictures?
SUBARU3 replied to BlindSight's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Your harness is most likely one from a point type system. Most, if not all Subarus in 78, except for CA models, had point type distributors. If you use the whole harness from 78, you will have to do this: http://offroadingsubarus.com/distributor_conversion.html http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=109705&highlight=distributor+electronic http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=50403 When ya gonna get this axle and steering pad?? LOL Cheers! Todd -
What controls the lockup on a torque converter? 1995 4EAT I am getting what appears to be a premature lock up of the converter when it shifts from 2nd - 3rd. It locks up for a moment and then unlocks in 3rd. I get the corresponding reduction in RPMs and then they climb again. Then it again locks up at the right time, after the shift to 4th. Can you disconnect the lock up some way, so I can test? Is it part of all that stuff attactched to the passenger side shock tower? Thanks
