Bucky92 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Yup Still alive.. ( sorry to disappoint y'all) . Yesterday my dear love like a brother friend stopped over. He is probably the most talented mechanic I know...( here visiting from Cali till the 10th) . We were working on stripping down my Isuzu Amigo to swap parts into his. Anyway... he has never heard my coupe run since the new motor was put into it...Oh yea..I still have my coupe..in the garage covered in cobwebs...hoping to someday actually find a rear bumper so it can go to the body shop. L.B. fired right up first try and settled into a lovely purrr. ( He did blow some oil smoke though upon start up) I was told that I have the quietest running EA81 that my friend ever heard...and he has owned a multitude of them. I gave props to those who did my motor and Weber. He then told me that I really need to get that car on the road. Its even super rare out in Cali. He also has been looking for months for a rear bumper for me with no luck. So.. Just wanted to let y'all know that the coupe is still alive and well..in the garage safe from rain/snow/ and sun-baking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucky92 Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 Kyle!! your a friend of mine on FB LOL.. you should know I have been busy with my Transformers Convention and my collector clubs... Since I am an administrator for a couple..they have been keeping me busy. Well I talked to the guy doing my paintwork on my couple the other day... I was having an estimate done on my Impreza where someone hit it...grrrrrrrrr. And I got the bug to get the coupe going. ( My Imppy will go in next week hopefully to be fixed...and I am thinking on having a custom paint job put on it too ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucky92 Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 Sent PM a couple days ago.. havent heard back yet... not like I havent waited for what now.... 2 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T'subaru Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Connie, do you have a pic of what the bumper looks like? I hit alot of off the beaten path wrecking yards when I travel for work, I could be another set of eyes. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchsub Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 It will look like this with or without bumper uprights (guards). It needs to be from a coupe or a sedan only. I havent looked at any parts interchange books but thats what connie said so ill stick with that and believe it So coupe.... And sedan Yes they are two different cars lol and both are owned by me at the moment. Long story from another thread for those that dont know.

Bucky92 Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) Steve is correct.. the bumper can only come from a coupe or sedan..due to the mounting ( I have to double check if its FWD specific also..drawing a blank right now) Prefer with uprights but right now I will settle for a good one... this is mine and dont let pic fool you.. the underside was rotted away I dont need the end caps or the mounting struts.. I have restored the ones I have... just need the beam. Edited July 7, 2010 by Bucky92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatchsub Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Steve is correct.. the bumper can only come from a coupe or sedan..due to the mounting ( I have to double check if its FWD specific also..drawing a blank right now) 4wd's are a different style bumper and a different style mount as well so it is 2wd specific.

ShawnW Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Almost every one I have seen has been completely rotted away inside because they didn't leave anyplace for crap to not collect inside the bumper in the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themoneypit Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 i think you should just sell me your y-pipe connie since your not currently using it lol... but no for real if you have or know someone with one im desperate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
