Really like this picture, artistic eye.

Also, has anyone made a custom UEL Header for their EA81 or EA82? I am looking at building my own Header and whole exhaust on the Ski wagon (As everything is rotted and patched) I am looking for a picture of an EA UEL header (Non-Turbo header) just to get an idea of how to wrap it in front of the Oil pan.

That takes some skill! Bravo sir, good show!

I am going to order the wheels from this place. Even with Shipping, it is $25 cheaper them other sites. http://www.southwestwheel.com/store/p-393-nw128699.aspx This place offers free shipping on orders $99-up but the total comes to $250 vs $225. http://www.trailerandtruckparts.com/ Which site looks more trustworthy?

So,I got another (Rust free) set of EA81 Vale covers, and repainted them. I am looking at new Gaskets for them, I am going with Fel-Pro. But my question is, do I reuse the metal grommets that were on the Covers, or do I buy new ones? Rockauto does not list the grommets. Hmm.

Thats what I like to hear! I was coming back from South Beloit, I should have stopped and checked out ur swap and such!

Its about 5mph off. So if m Speedo says 75 I'm really going 80.

Gave the old girl a workout today going down to IL. I used the downgrade to my advantage, once I got up to 80mph it held up there pretty easy all the way back (Even on upgrades) The car felt more alive once I got into town, sure does 55mph a lot easier and quicker. Needed the old Italian Tune-up!

Wow, those look killer on there! Nice job.

Went down to IL and picked up some clean blue Floor mats from Dodge Aries K, now I'll have something to put down once I get the carpeting back in. I also adjusted my front struts today, they looked like this before. Now their like this. I'll have to adjust the rear once its back on the car.

I want to say Brat, Hatch and Coupe' are all the same, as they all have the longer style door, not found on Sedans or Wagons.

Ah, it has the Cruise control buttons on the side. Didn't see that before

Wow, thats really clean. At least to me since I live in the Salt Belt where everything rots. I love the lines on these Saloons, has similarities to that of a BMW 320i and 2002. I'll be watching this thread! -Tom

Woo! We need to see this!

Ski Team, Yes!

Awesome steering wheel, don't see that see to often.

Cool video!

Very cool videos I found on youtube, it must have been some type of Aussie review video or something. Pretty cool IMO

Front fenders are the only thing that needed to be trimmed. I did that before I have the fenders repainted. The rear wheel wells will clear, mine just rotted away before I got the car, so oops. zzz

Welcome! Thats pretty cool about the GLF, there weren't a whole lot of GLF models in the states, so having one in the UK must be right proper!

If you change plugs, you want to run NGK-BKR5EGP or BKR6E11. Great plugs, decent price. EJ18 plugs might be the same length, but don't quote me on that. As long as they are the same length from the nut, down to the electrode, you are good. Don't want to put a hole in your pistons now that the motor runs good. Amazing how a little o-ring can cause such an issue, eh?

That wil serve you well! plus if you break something, Sears will give you another for free. Its amazing!

Yep, Every EA82 I've ever been in had slow power windows (So does my Landcruiser) its most likely like Tom said, lack of grease in the track will slow them down, also, the window switches them selfs are sometimes an issue, they are a rocker style with little metal tabs on the inside, they tend to get corroded and don't make good contact. Also, it could be the motors, they need grease and cleaning. I still need to get to that issue on my wagon, easy though -Tom
