The Dude Abides

Someone recomended to me to reglue the braces to the roof useing liquid nails.

Did you remove the old vinal headliner before you put the new one on, or was that just glue and go.

Manual windows, Non painted bumpers, Looks like a DL to me. It has the same seats i have in my dl.

I like the look of the dual electric fans. Just one more mod ill do this summer. Also from what im told. The electric fan is stock and the clutch fan is used for Ac.

Removed bumper and trim. Sanding with 200, 400, and 600. Plus wire brushes. Going to pick up some rust bullet after i get this baby to bare metal. Pictures soon to follow.

I keep looking at this picture and say go ahead ben do it. The car is named after you so its karma. Do it ben, lift your subaru.

I RULE:grin:

I swear to god i had the idea for the white out pen before it was invented. I couldnt come up with a patent so i gave up. 2 years latter look what comes rolling out.

Could someone please donate this man a new front end for his car. Start buy painting those brown doors silver. Then take some wheel paint and make them all 1 color. Get a front end on then i will say youve done something. Keep your chin up man.

My favorite is i find the socket i need but cant find the wrench to turn it. So i shove a flathead screwdriver in there to get the job done. Im sure others have done more, but thats one tool ive made.

I wonder if your neighbors think youve got a chop shop running over there.

If i had another wagon i would do this lift tire combo. Looks good and no cutting.

How much.

Check out the Ebay/Craigslist portion in forsale section.

The one on my old parts wagon had the same gauges. Yours isnt the white rhino, sometimes they just came with those gauges.

Pretty sure thats the light i have.

Now that youve got it running properly we can discuss the 5speed 4wd swap. Yes it can be done, and yes you should do it.

absolutely ashamed at you connie, whats a thread without pictures.

Common problem. Blower resistor block. Do a search and you will get all the info you need. I only have the last 2 speeds on mine but i havent found a good one to replace it with.

I was skeptical about these cars at first but i have 200k on mine and it still works good. The typical thing about these cars is that they get eaten up buy rust pretty good. Keep that in check and keep up on the maintence and you should be fine. These are great cars and the 4wd system is better then the yotas only because you have the dual range option if your so equiped. Even if you have single range its great in the snow and mud.

Glad you got this worked out. Now you can say to your friends whose laughing now. I had something like that happen to an old bronco i had. I went to work and my brother and his friends decided to steal it and go joyrideing. Well they didnt get a block away before it quit running. We towed it back to my place and i tore apart the ignition, gave it a tuneup, checked everything and it still wouldnt start just turn over. Well the hillbilly who had it before me changed it to an electric fuel pump and had the wire just sticking into the fuse box. It came loose, fuel pump quit working end of story. I hooked up herd the pump pumping and she fired right up. Kinda funny how things like that work out.

what ive found that after a car sits for a bit, make sure that battery is good and charged up full. If its sitting at an angle and doesnt have alot of gas in it you might need to put a couple gallons in. I turn the key into the on position then off then on then off. Get that system nice and primed up with gas. If it still fails to start after that, then you check your fuel, and spark. See if you can get it to start with starting fluid.

I had an intake gasket on my chevy leak once but you could see it spewing onto the ground.

The loyale i just gave away had that feature as well.

you replaceing the bent fenders and doors, what do u mean new metal.
