Yo'J

Dirty Girl! Might just be bouncing on air soon! Would they lower the ride hight at its lowest setting?

Your doing great work down there!

I don't see a price on the site, any ideas?

Well, I paid 2k for mine with drivers dents and rust around the muffler not so bad, not drivable, bad wheel bearings tranny shot, no disty, bumper half off, and a smashed tailgate. Its driving now but still has a wobble at higher speeds after $500 in parts alone. At least you have the tailgate trim. Dont lose it. Gotta love those t tops!

Are those holes from the ammo in the first pic? Glad to hear no one was hurt. House fires are really scary!

Its only toppin a cool buck (100 degrees) here but the roos not getting to hot. Where are you at? As far as I can tell, North Kirkland hit 105.5 and thats the hottest locally.

That might (must) be it. Thats the style that does the opening day opening day on the lake. I thought there was another one made earlier. I'm not finding it, so it must be. If you look at the seattle times article on them it shown a pic of the props and I saw one with little tiny propellers, not the big monsters these have. http://www.seattlepi.com/local/361715_needle05.html Check out http://www.watercar.com though!

I don't have any pics but there is a guy that takes his car every few years out to lake union for the fireworks on the fourth. Its a blast to see that thing in action! Its a corsair looking like thing, stock with factory propellers made in like 54 for a one year run or something. It needs a knuckle rebuild after it hits the water every year. Its also way to heavy, can't go to fast or it will sink from the head waves, the water line is like 8" from the windows and the props are way to small. Its still better than the old Volkswagen Thing as far as reliability and not rusting out. The GL has the transmission to use to get some power and the ea81 does seem to be the best submersible motor!

Hey make a hydroplane skid plate so the front is off the water and the wheels are still in it so you can steer, might need/want thinner wheels, when you are getting up to speed. I'll bet the motor and tranny could put down some power on the water. If you look up buying a propeller, manufacturers give some insight that might make that proposition of making a boat very real. It will have to be a complete tear down, but, hey A/C for your inflatable bits. Nothing to roll, remember.

Save that 2wd rear end for a boat!

Nice! You have some weight on there too! It would be way too cool to weld some stationary windows to the bottom to look through.

So whats the deal with the driveshaft? I hear one could put the longer ea82 driveshaft in your ea81 long platform vehicle without modification as long as you mount the carrier bearing. Am I searching wrong?

One could grab Zaps old hatch shell......

Hundred, hundred bucks, Yall! Might put an add in cl stating the project. One could possibly get a free car for the story! If I didn't have so many projects! 5spd swap and an ej swap i'm in the middle of on the car front. The Suboataru is, and has been, on my mind. I will have a spare ea81 engine soon so it wont matter if it runs.

If there is a way to PTO the rear diff, I'm down. I'm all over the idea. I want to take a 4wd, install a 2wd rear end, , extend the drive shaft for the prop, install a drop lever for the prop on the end of the drive shaft, to lower it, possibly a stick lever for steering, like on an old wood boat. But that is because I don't have the knowledge to add the PTO to the diff. Weld the doors, add a window controller as the key. A convertible coupe is the perfect platform for it. Just think 4th of july on the lake. No traffic on your way to work. Always finding parking.

Its to make it to the moon! That rocks!

As long as hes not on a 8" glass shelf, on a piece of ply, sittin' on a set of sawhorses, shoving his weight across it, yeah.

The Moon! That is a great chop! Do the moon! Some good images! http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://cache.boston.com/universal/site_graphics/blogs/bigpicture/luna_07_02/luna8.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2008/07/man_on_the_moon_future_and_pas.html&usg=__At0_d3NFvujYUBoO4z-HGbIOeUw=&h=702&w=990&sz=215&hl=en&start=15&tbnid=NJDpmcLxXvRADM:&tbnh=106&tbnw=149&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dthe%2Bmoons%2Bsurface%2527%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG [

Be careful. 1/4" glass will bow a lot, measurably.

So I guess you just need to plumb in a oil filter, to get the oil out of the line on its way to your storage tank and plumb the discharge of that into a small oil retainer like on a nail gun (maybe not a plastic one as they get hot in a car) put the "self oiler" on the pump side of the air filter and if you run your air bags every day (if you have air ride suspension) you might want to check it every week or two. Then you can just run the compressor and bleed it to the oil retainer. The oil is only for the piston. Same for a york. This is what is running my neighbors air bag suspension system. He is using a york, every day. Its about the size of a gallon of milk but taller and on a v8. I forgot, your controller, pressure cutoff and on switch.

The shield could be a shovel, have a front and rear axle, like a skull and bones,s bones and a jack centered. If you get fancy you could have it leaking oil. Jskddn. I like NW Subaru Offroad Club. Sounds professional. Might make ya money.

Nice louvers! That makes one nice package!

Seafoam, I thought you where supposed to do that as you get on the freeway in town?

Small fee like what, how many items? Heck, I was thinking crossmember, set of rims, brush guard(s), bike frame, skid plate, (my crappy macco paint job on my wagon (I got the paint)), maybe my pug steelies, set of 5, if I can get them off the car I'm driving. I'm sure I can come up with a ton more, just give me time. I have a buddy who can do a bike frame or two at work, but, I hate to burden.

Well, a rental cost $200 a day, you buy your own sand. If everything is ready, booth is made, sand is purchased and on site parts are clean and ready it wont take a day or half day. You can rent saturday night and return monday morning for a half day charge, sometimes less, I've done that before on floor sanders.
