i have lots of photos!!!

...and yesterday... I bought little Fujiko a friend! her Barn Find buddy had been sitting in a barn since 1989 !!!!

Not many updates as of late and I apologize for that. Car show season takes up the entire summer and we have simply been booked pretty solid nearly every weekend. but I do have to share SOME AWESOME NEWS.... Fujiko took home BEST OF SHOW honors at the West Coast Subaru Show #17! http://westcoastsubarushow.com/ I am very humbled and honored that the judges recognize the rarity of this car and the love put into it. Simply blown away. she. is. amazing. Photo below with her garage-mate and Best Historic winner (our 1970 Subaru Sambar Truck) More photos to come as soon as the rain stops. It's been storming since we left the show a few days ago... lol go figure!!!

She's getting well known! Now we've popped up in another article - this time on Driving.ca LINK: http://driving.ca/subaru/auto-news/news/how-this-tiny-truck-spurred-a-love-for-funny-little-subarus What fun is this!?! Great article and I love the photos too! Go little Fujiko!!!

Not sure. =( I have the parts manual but it's a hard copy/paper copy

Maybe! I have a black and silver one though from the Sport I'll mock it up and snap a quick photo It will look good once installed!

SOOOOOO...... This happened over the weekend! Blown away! Bested the Best at the 2015 Old School Reunion show. So cool! Proud of her - happy for Steve + myself (how could you not be?!?) But mostly happy for little Fuji

Yup. And I just bought a 78 GL Wagon yesterday... I will never learn.

thanks for the input!! makes sense on the upgraded engine... but uhhhh!! that radiator was so cool! (pardon the pun!) I'll try to find more interior photos and study the parts diagrams to see if I can work out how the carpet was installed..... meanwhile on the updates been busy (damn you summer) and a little quiet. I apologize for that! updates coming soon meanwhile... here she is with her new pal Melvin the SLOW-baru in the background

It is my pleasure - more than any of you will probably ever understand. Haven't had any issues to date and honestly unsure what fluid Steve had in the car initially, I've not swapped the fluids just yet - but it is interesting to hear that we should avoid the DOT-3!! NOTED!! Indeed people LOVE the front brakes - especially when they realize that they are inboard DRUM brakes. I think that temperature should not be a problem. It doesn't really get hot here in Seattle so I do not foresee heat being an issue at any time - we have a very mild climate here. Unfortunately the dual radiator (which i think is the coolest thing ever!!) was removed from the car before I obtained ownership. I am currently looking for a replacement so if you run into one - anywhere - please let me know! I have purchased a 1300G center console hump from the Japan auctions. Need to get it shipped over - it's far too loud in the car without it - and we were docked points at the last car show for "no carpet" Can't install carpet without the center console pieces in place - - I am pondering what to do for bumpers still but I am sure I will find a good and reasonable solution! It may take a bit of time but I will get that worked out Thank YOU for taking interest, sharing your story and expertise. So nice that she has so many that love her so Jamie

Good glance at the wheel center caps - the OE Enkei caps reworked. Removed the battered logo section, sanded, primed and painted

She has received her first show award. She was selected Best Pre 1980 at the 2014 Big NW Meet (http://www.bignorthwest.com/) How cool is that? I haven't had a chance to go through my event photos (last few days have been a whirlwind), but here is one from local photog Ed Gorman

that's PERFECT except that it will likely go for over $300 and then I'd have to pay commission + shipping in Japan and shipping again from Japan to the US Probably close to $400-500 when it's all done. I just can't swing that right this second. arrrggghh!!

email me the photos and I will post them

I still need to get a more detailed photo of the "poster" I made but..... here it is. I tossed in the photo from one of the brochures of the open trunk with red luggage as I'm trying to match it 100% I'm missing a red hatbox - I will find one sooner or later!

I'll snap a photo of it for you! I scanned in some of the old brochures and the spec sheet, blew them up along with a few photos of the car and made a poster out of it. Oh! And check out her new floor mats. Fit surprisingly well being that they are from a BRZ!! Here is a shot of the center caps installed as well.... they look okay? right?

don't you just love it ?!? I do!!

OMG so much fun!! Part of our annual cruise... and we were f u l l y loaded!

She had a blast this weekend and much to my delight, people really loved her

Not a problem... we drilled (gasp!!!! ahhhh!!) new holes and she has belts again. (new belts too! did not re-use the old belts) I finally got the courage to just do eeet!

we do a micro cruise every year the day before the "show" It is a BLAST... cannot wait to get on the Ferry. That is going to be freaking hilarious :D Rad. Can't wait.

bet it will be MUCH cooler up there than down in the flats at some car show we will have fun.... 70+ cars are expected. It will be a great show I am sure!

Just for your information - - - If you have nothing going on this Sunday - JULY 13.... There is a micro car / mini / petite (neat!!) car show at Lemay - America's Car Museum in Tacoma DETAILS http://www.lemaymuseum.org/events.php http://www.gpnwmme.com/# This is a national show and there will be cars from all over North America on display. Great opportunity to check out some old school awesomeness. There may be close to a dozen 1968-1970 Subies in attendance. (I should have 3 cars there if all goes as planned!!) Swing by and say hi!!! - Jamie

Already refreshed and installed the center caps that came with the Enkei wheels. I need to get an updated photo. They look okay. Still not my favorite - but a lot better than nothing at all.

So much that I do not believe I can make OEM - the arches were completely modified. Heck, I don't even have anywhere to mount up seat belts as the mounting holes were cut and filled I do have my work cut out for me.... we were trying to work out how to lower the car as well. It is on the list.
