Driverside Window
The Dude Abides replied to The Dude Abides's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
No i understand this but if you put 2 fingers on the window you can move it back and forth. -
Ok i removed all door panels so i could remove the door trim on the outside. I noticed as of late tht my drivers window isnt sealing properly. I can hear the wind whistling buy as i drive. Anywho since ive taken the door panel and the trim off i can notice the window rattling down in the door. Is this a common thing or just due to age. Is it possible i might just be able to tighten something up or is the glue comming off the window glass thats hooked to the track. Its an 1988 DL wagon with manual window. Thanks Ben

Ive heard GE Nighthawks are great as well. Whiter then the silverstars. You cant buy them at any store though. Only on amazon. -

Wondering about a few things. (Pics)
The Dude Abides replied to tysree's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I would like to point also that no one on here is ripping on you. These ea82 turbo cars are complicated and unreliable. Even novice subaholics have problems. The slightest miscare of your cooling system and you overheat your car. And its not like your chevy celiberty or ford f150 where if you overheat it alittle youll be ok. No when you overheat these engines the headgaskets are dont for at the least. Pray you dont need to get any mill work done. IF taken care of they can be an ok engine but very week jackets in the motor and heads if im right Gd. Leads to bad coolent circulation which means warpage and a whole ton of other problems. Im not saying ditch your car, but im saying prepair for some heartache because ive seen alot of that from the turbo engines. Good luck buddy and remember the USMB is here for you, not against you. -

I know your jokeing and i am laughing with you but its really sad. Once any vehicle around here starts rusting it goes quickly. Ask McBrat how long his rust free coast cars last driveing year round. It Sucks. -

Ill definately try to make it out there next year. I think some iowa guys want to go out there and look for rust free subys as well. -

Next year is definately a possibility. What do wagons run out there. Dual Range. Maybe i can drive out with an iowa buddy and drive something back. -

That is way cool GD and i appreciate the offer but there is no way i can make WCSS. I have no vacation time left, i dont even have xtra money to drive out there even if i did. I guess im just doin the best i can with what ive got. -

I know GD and i would tend to agree with you but its all ive got. Its my daily driver and im just throwing whatever i can at it to make it even look somewhat decent to drive. When he is dead i will take all the good ive put into him and put it on another car. I know what you mean GD but its all ive got. I just dont know how many more iowa winters the old guidster can take. -

LOL it is rusty just the black hides alot of it. IF you look closely you can see the rust hole in the fender. I duno it will clean up i just dont know about the look. I wont make my final decision until i get the other 2 wagon wheels cleaned up and on the car. I cant make any decision with 2 goofy pugs on the back. -
I think it has a mad max kinda look to it now. All i need is the pipes running through the hood and a guy with a mowhawk sitting on the roof. Black Bottom Regular Bottom Got a new dent free, rust free, wrinkle free hood as well. Still not sure about likein the pugs but well see after i get them cleaned up. They do make it handle like a go kart now though.

I think the biggest size you can get on a stock suby rim is 185-80-13. If you went pug or chevy wheel you can get into other rhelms. I dont advise getting douglas tires. I know Falkin and Goodyear make good 13inch tires still. Give them a look.

Its different here. You cant get legacys around here for 500 bucks for less them 300000 miles on them. -

Not sure exactly whats going on here. Ill finish up other wheels and get those rear disc brakes on. I think this is why i couldnt get the center cap on the passanger side rear wheel mick. The brake drum is different then the one on the driverside. It sticks out more. -
Should I buy it?
The Dude Abides replied to Caramanos2000's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
So i guess mine is an ea81 as well, even thought it was made in 88 Sorry twitch my friend but you are wrong. That is the trim package DL. Made from 85-89. The only new gen wagons to come with the 4 lights instead of the 2 solid ones. They didnt come with tachs either. -
probally a waste of time, but im needing the plastic clips for the trim running on the bottom side of the rear window as pictured.
