I have a homemade lift, but if your willing to send one down to P-town, I would rock it. I would pay for your stamp too. that way when people ask me where to get a lift for their soob I can just point to the sticker. -
got some time today, ended up just yanking the whole intake manifold to get at those stupid screws. Tightened em back down and presto, no vacuum leak. while I was doing that I noticed the lower rad hose is leaking (and smoking, thats interesting) radiator looks to be on its last legs (there is a hole on top plugged with JB weld) probably time for a replacement.

not to hard to find, go out highway 30 until you get to Scappose, you will come to an intersection with a light and concrete medians to the left, take a left and drive 10 more miles, you will start seeing forest roads, just take your pick they all kinda connect to each other. let me know if your going up there I might like to go. -
not to worry Monstaru, the topper will be looked after, I am planning to keep it on for awhile (maybe til summer) because it has kinda grown on me. Once I take it off it will be properly stored. I also *might* be interested in trading it for a high rollbar. Pete: typical wear on the seats, I havent looked at the pass side one yet but the drivers seat has tears in the usual spots

scappose/vernonia has a lovely network of trails too. All the mud you can take! -
took a look today, found the vacuum leak, :rolleyes:two of the screws holding the carb to the manifold (or actually the adapter plate) are only half in. funny thing is the spare in the engine bay put enough pressure on the airbox so it plugged it all the way home. It's a carter/weber single barrel, the screw heads holding the carb to whatever wierd plate its on are on the bottom so I either gotta pull the plate or the whole intake manifold. Problem with just pulling the plate, is one of the bolts is REAL hard to reach. once I get some more time I will tear into it properly.
-
basically I am just going to restore everything as factory as possible, and add on all the lovely OEM accesories (a-bar, jump seats, maybe rollbar, and full targa stripes). Paint is fine so nothing to do there. I might throw a weber on for a bit more power. and of course tune that engine to perfect (has a vac leak somewheres right now) thats about it.

thanks, its been awhile coming. yeah, he oversprayed on the tires and brake drums......thankfully not on the body. Normally i dont like high toppers either, but for some reason it looks really good on this one. I think its the gold/white/red action going on.... thanks for all the compliments guys, i cant wait to start restoring it.

New pics here Here she is as I got her: (whole car pics at the bottom) Pretty much the only body damage is that front bumper, fortunatly I have a pristine one and an A-bar to match There is one little tiny rust spot on the drivers wheel well, but the bed is PRISTINE. drooly drooly. Also, the guy spray painted the wheels white without taking them off the car, or taking off the center caps, and not evenly either. looks like crap (but thats an easy fix)

ummmmm, there is six subarus there, Ryan
