Jack in Norfolk

I ordered mine from a local bookstore but that was over 6 years ago. Appearantly they were out of print, then they got re-printed. If you can get a hold of the isbn # you should be able to get your local library to order it for you through inter library loan. You may have to be persistant as sometimes they don't like to do this. You may have better luck at a college library. -Jack

Has anyone taken it upon themselves to scan this and post it somewhere? i sold my copy to Bill long ago.

WOW! So many questions..... Quattro San is awesome! What is that joystick? (tried to posts pic here, didn't work? Mods?) Also as for quattro san, what's the story on that trunk spoiler? And the sunroof, is that a ragtop? Where those two items available from the dealer or an aftermarket source; does anyone else have them? And finally, what's the story on the brat with the huge hood scoop; do tell!!

It appears that that 73 Wagonsonly bought has all vinyl seats.

Can't wait to see those pics

hmmmm. it seems like they are already pretty short in overhaong to begin with, but I gues every thing counts when you are hardcore.

Hallo, meine Deutsche est nicht so gut. So I'll stick with English. You have a very nice looking brat! The wheels are especially interesting. I don't think I have ever seen any like that before. Can you post some more pictures? Thanks. -Jack

:lol::lol: When I first bought my 86 gl wagon I knew it had a coolant problem but I just couldn't wait to drive it around the block. I got in it and went up to the store. On the way home I was driving past a jogger when a radiator hose burst. It sounded just like a gunshot. The guy must have jumped 50 feet in the air. He did not have a lot of nice things to say to me. I guess it didn't help that I was laughing hystericaly (I couldn't help it ).

very cool I'll have to pic one of those up. I snapped the heads off of two bolts on an outboard motor I have

I don't know much about foresters. But, yeah, if you change all 4 there shouldn't be an issue with the diff/tranny. You may get rubbing and uneven tire wear if your rims aren't wide enough. Also your speedo might be off. Don't take my word for it though.

You are on the road to recovery. By the way, where in VA are you?

Has anyone made aftermarket jumpseats for the Baja yet?

That sucks. Sorry to hear about the credit thing. Something else will come along

Oh my gosh, that is beautiful! The interior is unbelieveable! Don't dare paint the air cleaner unless you can get a batch of Subaru air cleaner blue ! Just my opinion, but I agree, keep it stock! That is really neat.

This sounds like a nightmare. Although I am embarrased that VA spends the least of any state on environmental funding, at least we don't have to deal with that garbage.

Oh boy, what have I gotten myself into ? I don't suppose you have a yard, or garage perhaps.....?

yeah but that was one of the sequels, or else the sube was in a sequel. I remember it distinclty. It had an onboard video game and it was capable of driving under water and then a big rocket came out of the hatch. The real car that was used is reffered to on this site as Quattro San. Appearantly there was a development deal between Subaur and a University in Washington. Do a search.

No, seriously, has anyone ever thought about aftermarket jumpseats for the Baja?

Matty B & Mudboat: wow! I had no idea people were doing that kind of stuff with sube motors. I guess I had heard of vw powered airboats so its not a stretch to work in an ea81 or 82. The plans I saw were for a small coastal crusing trawler; the total opposite end of the spectrum from these speed demons that you guys are posting. What kinds of speeds are you guys seeing? Matt b: do you have any pics?

Do you guys know where i can check out the pics????? I feel like a moron but i couldn't find any pics in the albumns that the links lead to and I am dying to see this thing. Thanks, -Jack

Don't sell it. Its a fairly difflcult car to come across if you set out looking. Things seem hectic right now but it will pan out. I came sooooo close to driving up there to by that car from Moosens......

Very cool indeed! I don't know that I have seen an early model Brat like that lifted before. It is neat that they had lifts back then. Cool rims too.

Very impressive; the handy work with the drill, or the photoshop job. Either way, I am impressed!

Sounds like you need to meet a nice girl who has a yard or better still, a garage!

So sorry for the loss of your friend. Its already been said, but it is quite true. Although he went at an early age, he did go out doing what he loved. We should all be so lucky. And as for the "end" of the Subaru Church, I'm gonna paraphrase something I heard once; "a church is not the sturcutre which houses its people, it is its people and the spirit that brings them together." Take care brutha. Try not to get bogged down in the present; the future is going to be better.
