Colorado BBQ - May 20th, Rampart @ 11am
DrKrazy replied to mikeshoup's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
I'm up for pretty much anything, My RX is down off the road for a bit while I get started on fixing on all the rust, but doesn't mean I can't drag it out for a meet.... And yea when you going to have that coupe on the road now Russ? -
Oh geez, only doing the ones I currently own.... My 88' RX Coupe: The Lifted 86' Sedan: My new daily driver the 96' OBW: Pic of a few of my cars, only one I could find quickly with my wife's 94 Legacy: Oh and what the heck my parts RX too: The more the better right!
-
86' GL Sedan D/R "Project Cheap" 4" AA Lift (modified by a friend to correct front camber), Twin-Stick LO/HI & 4wd, SPFI conversion, LSD, Rear Discs, Dual batteries, EA81 Bull Bar, XT6 seats, lots of lights, cb, 2 sets of 29" Tires (one snow, one M/T), etc, couple new dents from last year ....
-
Yea defintely won't be passable until late June at the earliest...Here I dug up some pics from my Bro-in-law from some of our trips: Pics make it look easier!!!!

Thanks guys, car looks a lot worse in real life and up close but hey I'm broke. Yes I did inspect the other cam pully since I had to pull em off to replace the back cover. Took it through emissions the other day, passed with flying colors. Then went and begged and pleaded for another temp since the people my Brother got the car from are on an RV trip, and I still need the trust paperwork for the title. Ended up walking away with a 60 day temp should be plenty of time to get the rest of the paperwork. Been driving it as my daily for interviews/job searching etc, and is great. As soon as I land another job I'll be fixing it even more. Yeti I'll take/pay for that skin & reinforcement if you ever get your bumper. Oh and if you get sick of waiting and want another one built I know a guy who builds off-road rigs for a living that I'm sure would do it for ya, oh and he's in-state
-
LOL, My Bro-in-law lives right near it I will ask him if he's been up there recently and if it's passable. I will however suggest we hit something a tad lighter maybe slaugher house, etc first. Will also talk to my friend and see if his wife's parents still own the mining claim near the top of Red Cone, if so we could probably just camp there.

1979 Subaru Wagon GL Wish List!
DrKrazy replied to cactused's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Welcome a board! (That was me who sent you the email, think you will find this place extremely helpful. You may also want to post in the wanted section and see if anyone has got some of the stuff your looking for. Check out what Moosens mentioned for sure, we are nice community like to help eachother when at all possible. Oh and we would all love to see pics of your wagon -
Well been awhile, but I have gotten alot done. Got the new timing cover, new timing belt and finished putting the engine completely back together. Had a new windshield installed...and have been doing hours of body work, sanding, bondo, etc... Still having a hard time finding a hood/fender in the same color but they'll show up sometime, is fine for now. I hit a few yards today and picked up a backlight bar for the tailgate, another headlight (mounts broken but it was cheap and at least the lens isn't cracked at all), picked myself up an ashtray (hate cars without ashtrays), and happened to get lucky and find a bumper cover that was only slightly jacked up. Happens to be jacked up on the corner my car was hit on so works great. I have a temp tag on it now, title is a "living trust" title, so waiting on some more paperwork to get real plates. Been driving it around and it's great no problems what so ever. Have updated the link with the newest pics: http://subaru.kacsh.com/96legacy/96legacy.html So far here is my running total on resurrecting this OBW..think you guys will be pleanstly surprised...know I am since I'm still looking for a new job. $00.00 Purchase Price $32.32 Cam Gear $15.00 Timing Cover $44.13 Timing Belt $190.20 Windshield $85.00 Back lightbar/ashtray/headlight/bumper cover Total: $366.65 But of course here's a preview of what it looks like now/my shotty body work: If you look at what the car looked like when I got it...I think it's 1000% better now, and very cheaply! Still have more work do of course but it's getting good. Oh and this will be my new Daily Driver....so the old gen guy is moving to a new gen for his DD! (still keeping my old gen cars though)

Mini-Meet while AndyJo is here CO guys?
DrKrazy replied to DrKrazy's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Glad to hear you made it back...and damn fast too it seems. Was great meeting ya and Erin while you were out here. And was fun watching you change your oil in the rain in my driveway . Oh did you switch to your "power" mode for the way back? If so how was your gas mileage difference? -
You got some good photo's Shawn! and that one is just perfect-o! Good to hear you made it home Tom..Jeff obviously wasn't that lucky. And Jeff bring me the title and keys.... you know I don't pass up free cars....... But you also know you're not going to get rid of it. It's at a safe place and I'll help ya put it back together. I will say I have never heard a water pump make that noise before.....and then to have the alt die at the same time ...DeathWedge wasn't happy with you today.
-
Nice find Shawn! Few of us Jeff, Phil, & Tom (tomsbrats) came back to my place and had a quick BBQ and hung out....of course Jeff's XT6 is still sitting in front of my house now (and he left with Phil in his RX) ...Sorry Jeff had to say it. Anyways I didn't take but 4 pics...yea was blabing too much and they are all of the old school group. Was great to see such a turn out. We had 5 Lifted rigs next to eachother before Yeti took off (and I didn't get a pic before that)...and 3 count them...3 Gen 1 Brats! Was a good show for the old school! Here's my crappy pics (if you look close that red lifted hatch is the one Jerry has been hiding from the board forever!):
-
Aye this might be one of the show's where almost all of us regular members show! How many were planning on going the drive/beau jo's afterwards? From a few people I talked to, including myself were planning on not going.....weather supposed to be good and few people might be coming back to my place to look at the parts RX (Jon & Phil)....................................... So do we want to just make an USMB BBQ afterwards?? Would have to be bring your own stuff + stuff to share. Anyone interested? Know it's short notice but what the heck thought I would throw it out there since almost all of us should be there.

Mini-Meet while AndyJo is here CO guys?
DrKrazy replied to DrKrazy's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Yea us CO guys suck at getting together without 3 months notice...and even then. Your welcome to come use my driveway to change your oil Andy, like I said I would at least like to meet ya while your out here. And I can't possibly be too far away from your hotel. Unless an interview or consulting work comes up tomorrow I should be home. I'll PM ya my phone + address Keith -
Colorado Coupe photoshoot?
DrKrazy replied to Caboobaroo's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
I'm down, actually sounds like a reason for a BBQ again. I'll host again if needed, won't be able to afford to feed everyone..but it could be BYOBS (Bring Your Own BBQ Stuff, sorry still unemployed). My RX might be going under rust surgery during my stint here so it maybe wearing spots of primer . Got any dates in mind Russ? -
Woot! Hell of a job Phil....is it gonna make the meet on Sunday?
-
Now that's my type of engineering, and looks great. Hell of mod from another truck Mick!
-
Okay I gotta know what happened Jeff??? And if it makes you feel any better everyone does dumb things..for example while I working on straightening the radiator support on that OBW I picked up I somehow decided it would be a good idea to pry against the condensor... Well big hole in what was a perfectly working A/C system now...

Mini-Meet while AndyJo is here CO guys?
DrKrazy replied to DrKrazy's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Hmmm wonder if the Elite auto glass guy I have coming out to my house on Monday to replace the windshield in the OBW and the one in my wife's Legacy $$ would do it real quick. -
Colorado members want to get together for a mini meet/BBQ/Bar stop or something while Andy is out here? I'll volunteer my backyard/grill/& of course my special charcoal again if needed, it's pretty much completely uncovered from snow now. I'm pretty much free anytime unless I'm working some freelance, or at an interview. Andy clue us in again on when your free etc...

92 loyale pwr steer problems ???
DrKrazy replied to ivantruckman's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Don't quote me one this but I believe the way to purge the system of air is just to go lock to lock several times with the steering wheel (at least this is always how I did it) but think it should just do it on it's own. With it being choppy I would think the belt is either slipping, or the pump might be going bad. Is it choppy in the same exact places? Might be in need of a new rack then...I haven't heard of too many people having to replace the rack in these cars though.
