Yeah, I think my round lights make the grille look way taller than hers. I've had Subarus dirtier than that, but I haven't had the heart to get this one in too much mud, it's too pretty. It's the first one I've had that I could wax (I've waxed it twice now!). Moms hatch isn't that shiny really.... rust free, but not shiny, the silver hides a lot of scratches..... the passenger side door and fender have been repainted and they're really dull and look like brushed stainless.... add the front end and it reminds me of a Delorean

2WD but sadly it's an auto. I've been trying to get her to sell it back to me so I can webber it and convert it to a 5 speed. It's an '88 btw, mines an '87

Well, after keeping my car dirty for a week after our ice storm because we were supposed to to get a huge snow storm that never came, I finally decided to clean up the hatch while it was slightly warm (22 for a high Monday). I'm so ready for spring... Anyway, I took it over to moms and got a few good pics with her hatch, enjoy! Before: After!:

I had to look at it good too, looks like some fool with his shirt half up waving his hand in the air 0_o

Is it an auto? every auto wagon I've had would struggle to get past 18mpg
-
I think that's a rotator light bar (like the rent-a-cops have) a spare tire and something else.

The fuel tank will be the least of his worries, plenty of those lying around up there -

Good luck finding that short :-\ -
Going to pick up a free 84 Brat

Not bad for free.... I'd go for it -

GoldDiggerRoo replied to Subieguy's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Uh, being that it's free.....I wouldn't really worry about *looking out* for anything. Rust and getting it home would be my only deterrents, but free makes up for those most of the time. -
ea81 front end swap
GoldDiggerRoo replied to 970subaru's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Core supports are different, you'll have to cut some. I had a full single square/cyclops setup for my last EA81 wagon, but after realizing I was going to have to cut the core support I got lazy and sold it. -
EA81 Complete A/C system value$$$?
GoldDiggerRoo replied to subie_newbie's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I'll call dibs on it depending on acessed value.... -
WRX powered Justy movies

Dead link there mate. +1, I'd like to see it in action -
How'd you get it to come down with that much force on the front sus.? I jumped my first one sevral times thruout it's life and it always nosed in hard with more than 5 feet of air; all it left me with was folded flat tow hooks and a sore neck.

Any "older gen" original owners out here?
GoldDiggerRoo replied to daeron's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I am the second legal (last didn't have it long enough to register) owner of my hatch, still had the orginal CO. title; the payoff of the car was on the title and it was somewhere in the $13,000 range...... terrible for a car that didn't even come with carpet or a day night mirror. Subarus seem to hold their value great for about the first 5-10 years and then go into the tank; 19 years later the hatch cost me $200 -
Ditto, this car actually came from Boulder, Co. new, then at some point it went to Ny. and then Va....... it's really not bad though, I parked beside a hatch the other day at the mall that was way worse.... at least this one has rocker panels still....

I completely forgot to take pics after the ice storm last weekend, but I got a few from when it started and the week before. Aftermath... dirty hatch.

Ea 81 fenders/doors compatibility
GoldDiggerRoo replied to RAugur33's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Can't tell you how many times I've wanted to put a wagon door on my hatch just to see what it'd look like. Could add them, a post and then a small suicide door behind it, RX8 style, not that I'd ever want to do that.. -
90 Loyale weird electrical issues
GoldDiggerRoo replied to nachowayne's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Sweet, I'm on a streak! Glad that's all it was for ya man, I used to have to deal with it pretty often. It only takes a second to rule out all of the simple stuff before you go throwing cash at the problem. -

Sick of replacing CD-Players
GoldDiggerRoo replied to Mysticcal's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Come on, the FM transmitter isn't that bad, I used mine all around, in the middle of nowhere and in D.C., never had a problem finding a decent moderately clear channel. No where as good a an aux in, but it worked well; and if you're "serious" about listening to music, you're not going to be listening to thru a 35W stock stereo, if you're crasily worried about the audio quality, mount the stereo in glove box, kind of a PITA to use, but hey. Don't be too sure that wouldn't get stolen, it's got too many buttons on it... wouldn't last long in a lot of places. -

GoldDiggerRoo replied to Mysticcal's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Yeah, I'd either look for a factory one or a cheapie aftermarket (if you just need a little more wattage). Then, as long as you take the FM transmitter with you, you'll be good. I don't think anyone is going to steal an am/fm stocker, I wouldn't even go with a cassette... that may get stolen. Just stay outta the tenderloin and you'll be good. (speaking from experience) -

Cheapie AM/FM and a IPOD w/ FM transmiter would work well.... I would think. -
Hatch is mostly restored!
