How about a Distributor for a 77 DL Front Wheel Drive Automatic Wagon? (If I may ask) or perhaps seats (front, black, pleatherish vinyl). roof rack .50 cal? Twin .20s for the fenders? I'm just checkin' the options on my car and I can see that I don't have these... [EDIT] Scratch that...A distributor was sourced, the seats were found, And armaments will not be discussed further...

The best way I've found to ship odd/heavy/weird things is to take it to a moving company who does freight forwarding, Such as United Van Lines or Mayflower or one of that crowd. they can handle it. Sorry but I have no idea what they would charge, but it shouldn't be much. One of the ways it may be cheaper is that they usually won't do a "to your door" delivery, but rather just bring it to their transfer station/warehouse, and one may then pick it up there. I had a small collection of instruments and sound gear shipped out that way, I felt very uneasy letting them go out (secured and sealed in a crate with transfer tags and all kinds of paperwork) but they got to their destination safe and sound. get the insurance, its not expensive.

I'll try to keep this brief as I am surmising that you all have better things to do than to read my prattling on about how great I think you all are for pooling your resources and knowledge to keep these interesting cars on the road. But I must prattle... I have been lurking for about a week, since I obtained a 1977 DL Wagon which was slated for the junkyard. I had been seeking out actual knowledgeable and forthright folk who have had actual hands on experience and not just obtained their blue or grey WRXs as high school graduation presents. I like what I have seen and am glad to have discovered you here. So please accept this posting as means of introducing myself. I have lived in the Bitterroot valley for almost three years and loving every minute of it. I found this Subaru in front of a shop near Missoula, Montana and the owner said they wanted it gone, I asked how much and ended up with about $175 in it. it does not run...yet. I found a distributor problem, and will be needing one of those, and some enterprising sot horked the front seats, so Ill be needing both of those. the radio and dash are unmolested. (it is replete with all the AM goodness that she came with from the factory) It is an automatic and front wheel drive, so I expect no surprises there. all fluids look good. There isn't any real rust to deal with, its is straight, never been wrecked, Basically it just needs a decent cleanup, some simple mechanical things, and a couple buckets of TLC (I am looking for a 55 gallon drum of it so I can use it on a couple of other projects I have going on) I've kept you all long enough, I'll have plenty of questions as time progresses I am certain. Until then I fall silent. Respectfully, Timothy (Tsuru)
