I went to u-pullit today and scored a set of 14" pug steelies w/tires!!! also a good blower motor..and some hatch struts for team cf...

Almost...I pressure washed the engine bay, trans, diff...+ the engine(removed). I should get my Rear main seal, clutch assembly ..in today and tommorrow I hope to find a blower motor @ u pullit.. I hope to be running by next week...hd gaskets, valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket, cv boot, I need to find front brake hoses....any ideas Chaz..mine are 20" long I haven't had any luck..found 19",19.5" but no 20"

I just used the wire feed..you could just JB weld it and grind it down... The divits were so small ..hardly any added meterial...spot weld....There is not much too worry about really..I've welded cast many times with no issues..if it's small and not a huge peice no biggie..

I surfaced the flywheel replaced the pilot, release bearings . I had to weld in the wear spots from the clutch fork on the release bearing housing ears. I order my parts : rear main seal, 180*thermistat, headgasket kit, ,oil pan gaskets,hatchback struts...

Scott , your just eggin' me on...to get mine done..

This is what I want to do with my hatch....... Nice work!

It's a block heater...you can have my cord/plug..ya might need it being that your up in them thar hills...

well ..I guess I got some labor done today... Removed both front brake hoses only to find the replacements were too short.... My original hoses were 20" from end to end the raybestos hoses were 19".. I made some calls to napa, schucks, autozone ..surfed the web..(rockauto.com) Napa, schucks had 19" hoses.. autozone had 19.5" hoses:dead: Rockauto no info....but good deals on hoses...:-\ I just capped off the hardlines and calipers so they won't leak ... The hoses were cracking to the core...not safe in my book unless they are spares in jam... Oh yeah ...I pulled the motor for a complete reseal and clutch...this has to be the simplest motor pull I've ever done in two hours...that includes draining oil, coolant, pulling radiator,clutch assembly....bet I could do it in an hour. ..next time.. I did find a right front inside CV boot torn...no biggie.. I didn't even use air tools...

Ok here's a problem finding the correct parts... I have an '84 gl (manufactured 3/84) I'm replacing the front brake hoses..mine are 20" in length with a metal crimp /strut mount slot(for a slider retainer clip). I tried napa , raybestos they are 19" ....Autozone....19.5" no go...not much luck online... Do I have to get these from Subaru? anyone have this issue finding brake hoses ?

I'll be lookin' out in my neck of the woods...Hope ya get it back in good shape...

I found some loose connections for the am/fm radio....It works... what do ya think the first song that came on ...92fm kgon....? "old time rock' & roll"...by Bob Segar....so kewl ....the factory speakers sounds great for old skool.... I also tore apart the blower motor...one of the brushes was just gone....dissintegrated...to dust...I hope to find another soon...

I went through the car last night and completly chking everything out. I replaced the battery..it was toast:dead: $55 alternator charging @14v ok... had the door locks rekeyed..as the owner lost them... $29 replaced fubar'd locking gas cap $11 Replaced missing rear hatch wiper a few burned out bulbs .... shop vac'd the interior... found some change.. ordered front brake hoses...cracking to the core.. psi chk'd cooling system ...found a small leak @ radiator ..I can solder that..needs a flush and fresh coolant anyway...+10* Hoses chk'd could use radiator hoses, heater hoses.. cleaned the carb/linkage runs a bit better now /choke works great.. I did find some small oil leaks @ valve covers(loose bolts)+ oil pan gasket(loose bolts). I will reseal those when I pull the motor to do the clutch. The motor runs great up to about 5k then not so great above that..needs a valve adjust...that'll be done when the motor is pulled. The only things that don't work are the blower motor, am/fm radio... Ign. switch is ok but I need to get it rekeyed...(owner lost key.. ) For now It is unbolted from the back side two screws.. a flathead screwdriver starts it up ok... I'd rather have a key vs..toggle switch...keeps it nice....abit more secure unless they want it that bad... I found a water leak from the rains here the left rear window seal... the latch doesn't pull tight as it should.worn out seal/latch...so the out goes the carpeting...was gonna do that anyway.... I found it interesting comparing to my '03 outback how much Subaru is basically the same...they still use the same fasters..and similar designs..just updated...pretty kewl...

here's a linky..for Jerry's kit http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=77255&highlight=jerry%27s+kit Don't forget the driveline is longer for the 5spd swap the trans is shorter...Jerry can fill in the details when you call him..

Are we in a race to see which one of us gets our car back on the road... J/K... I'm doing my clutch this week ...when my clutch kit shows up... Hey , I can surface your flywheel . We have a flywheel resurfacer at my shop.... I'll be gone all weekend so I won't be wheelin' yet...

EA81/EJ22swap ..SJR 4" lift ..skidplate Put me down for one...

here's one for now...more to come....yes ..It's virgin to offroad...the undercarriage is so clean..... It's very straight inside and out.... the rear seats need a cover or just taken out.. looks like a dog had it's way with it... The motor is so clean and runs so smooth for 172k....not one oil, coolant or exhaust leak on her.... I think I found a diamond in the rough.... I also won an ea/ej SJR adapter plate @ WCSS10.... not bad for $20 in raffle tickets! I don't have to paint it ...it was yellow...now it's wheeler black... I think Team CF's wagon gave birth...his is an '83...lol It also needs a new blower motor.... Too boot it has good tags thu '09......! So my total investment is $270 add $80 for clutch and She's ready to go....with the ea81...I'll get the EJ22 ready..

For $250 there's gonna be alot of work and she ain't pretty..

That's kinda what I was thinkin' ...I might score some WRX seats for the front. Snorkel will be a must...& 4" lift oughta do it...

I'm interested a barter helpin ya work on your brat...I'll need the pugs for my hatch.. I'm a mechanic by trade and have plenty of tools.. I'm in Newberg so your close... my cell 503-314-7535

I picked up an '84 hatch ,ea81 ,4spd , d/r for $250... It needs an ign sw./clutch no biggie... My plans....I got a free EJ22... lift it w/ M/T's put my outback overhead rack on with lights.. rhinoline it I'll post pics soon...

I'd bring my old Brodie expresso .If I didn't break the frame a few months ago... I know the best singletrack hands down with very technical sections just off hwy 30 near a small town called Wauna,Or

Just use a blue bag....and an old water bottle clearly marked witha bio hazard sticker..(lol..no confusion for H20). That's what the forest service makes us do when we go climbing...I'd like to see them dispute that one ...since the USDA endorses the use of blue bags...!!!

I'll be coming down Friday....early for TSF wheelin' ... thinkin of puttin' the tube bumper back on ....and lights...I still need my skidplate welded....doh...so little time..so much to do.. I was @ TSF yesterday...cruised up Diamond mill rd. to Triangulation pt. ...great views it's been 2yrs since I was there last... The bad....lots of road construction....during the week..So we won't be going there...Friday.. I'll be on CB ch 5 like Scott..Also FRS radio ch 5 sub 10(WCSS10)lol.. When and where do ya wanna meet @ TSF...perhaps browns camp...or the gravel pit at the summit of hwy 6.

Wahoo....! Sounds like ya had fun... I have never wheeled at sand lake ....but I did go wheelin down @ Florence....The dunes were sweet.....I aired down to about 15psi with my AT's they worked great....pedal to the metal...

Hey Scott, I'm game for Friday @ TSF...I know Team cf wants to go.. I won't be doing to much hardcore stuff as my offroad bumper is off and skidplate needs welding....doh...
