Skylar Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 It's an 86 gl 2wd 5sp sedan. 230xxx on the clock with a blown HG but still runs and drives fine . I got on Craigslist earlier tonight out of boredom and this was the first thing I saw and called the guy right away Lol . Had a buddy drive down to Olympia with me and we got there checked it out, topped off the oil coolant and brake fluid. Put ten bucks in the tank and drove home it doesn't have a title and hasn't been tabbed since 06 no turn signals either . I don't know what my plans are with it yet, I just had to snag it cause it was free ! I'm probably gonna rally it and then scrap it somehow. Or try and part it out, if there's enough interest. I don't really want to put any money into it since I've already got 2 cars I dump money into lol anyways I'm gonna wash it up and get more pics tomorrow.

Prwa101 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Nice ride! Free is the best deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylar Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 Definitely a great deal ! Its been sitting for a year or so so there's spider webs underneath the hood around the motor and the interior is pretty shot, seats are kinda green and mossy. Huge hole in the back seat some rips here an there. Rear quarters pretty rusted out underneath, no muffler and some holes in the exhaust . The guy just wanted it gone pretty much, didnt care if he got anything for it lol he didn't have a license and never got the title from whoever he got it from . He was also when I got there ....

l75eya Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 He was also when I got there .... Haha, he's gonna wake up in the morning and pull a "Dude....where's my car?" Is it carbed? If you don't keep it, can I have the grill and the hub-caps? =P haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylar Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 Haha, he's gonna wake up in the morning and pull a "Dude....where's my car?" Is it carbed? If you don't keep it, can I have the grill and the hub-caps? =P haha Haha that would be so funny if he gave me a call this morning ! Yes its carbed, runs pretty decent but it dies on me sometimes if i dont keep giving it gas so its probably got some vac lines unhooked somewhere. Im keeping the grill and putting in on my 88 cause i like the honeycomb style but the hub caps are yours if you want em, for a small fee I just have to find a way into the trunk cause thats where the other tire is, its got a donut on it right now. And i have no keys to get into the trunk haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylar Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 OH ! and i forgot to mention it came with these sweet a** rims and tires in the back seat he said i could have lol theyre not even for a subaru, but im gonna throw em on CL and see if i can get some $$ for em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylar Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 ah Ha ! did not know that. Thanks shorty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortysayhi Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Yeah, some of the plastic only says that levers for the gas tank, but its both! and also in the trunk the lock mechanism theres a little lever (hard to see) but if you move it, it makes it to where you can only open the trunk by key vs key and the lever.

987687 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Yep, there's the lever by the seat. And if the cable is rusted and stopped working like mine, you just have to use a key... But if you don't have the key, fold down the rear seat, reach into the trunk, and move the rod by hand. It will pop the trunk open. It's a very simple tumbler, so it's really easy to re-key to the ignition key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l75eya Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Nice rims! Bummer about the grill but I don't blame you. Honeycomb grill is nice! You sure you were "given" this car? =P Just messing with you lol if there's money in the trunk when you get it open, I'm going to be a little more curious =P Either way, thanks for the offer on the caps. See if you can't throw up some more pics! I always liked how these ea82's look in red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill get a later GL or Loyale one eventually, but I think they mount differently so Im not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylar Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) LOL yeah i was definitely given this car and no no money in the trunk sadly :/ haha the gas lever thing does work for the trunk though ! And yea i think im gonna keep the honeycomb grill and thats it i really dont need anything off of it . So if anyone needs anything let me know, motor has 230xxx with a blown HG has milky coolant but is definitely rebuildable and it still gets up and goes ! My buddy said he wants the motor but idk when he'll have the money so pretty much anything on this car is up for grabs, even though its not in the best shape haha Heres some more pics : Rust in rear quarter, can see ground from trunk And I75eya this is probably the worst hubcap, it was on the tire that popped and i believe they were rallying around when the tire popped cause its got big rips/holes in like 4 places Its got some dents here an there, I have the rear bumper but i think the frame is bent. the guy said he got pit manuvered and thats how the bumper got messed up ... front bumper is good, turn signal lenses are in good shape . The 3 tires that are left are in pretty good shape still, have good tread. theyre 175/70/13s m+s rated . Some off brand tires ive never heard of, They say MERIT METRIC SE-H on em .

l75eya Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Damn, shame that thing got so beat up. Had the luggage rack too. (The low style. STILL have never seen the other style luggage rack Appreciate your offer on the caps, but I don't think it'd be worth the shipping. Looks like the guy had some hard, rough fun with this thing. I hate seeing them knowing they're gonna go to a crusher. Just wish I could save all of them haha, first the GL-10 in the classifieds in upstate NY, and now this poor thing. I'm digging the brown interior too. Oh well. C'est la vie. Hope somebody gets some use out of! Noticed you ripped the grill out already hahaha good luck with it's future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylar Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 Yeah I'm pretty bummed that it got abused as well . Im the same way I already have some attachment to the thing cause it's a free Subaru but I know it's gonna end up in the crusher soon :/ And yeah no problem man . Haha yeah I took the grill off last night when I got home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l75eya Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Hey just noticed; what's with the door mounted mirror? Was that normal for these generation GL's? I know that my 87 GL has the mirrors mounted up by the door glass the same as the 93 Loyale, and I know I've seen the ea81 series GL's with the mirrors mounted on the door itself, but I don't think I've ever seen an ea82 body car with the mirrors like that. Kinda like the way it looks, shame the driver's side mirror is missing or I might have been interested in grabbing *those* =\ Ooo! also just noticed. No A/C! When you're about to send it on it's way, do you think you could grab the alternator bracket? That sould enable me to ditch my A/C compressor. Unless you want it for yourself of course.

shortysayhi Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Early ea82 had the door mirrors vs the later window mounted ones. The problem is they are hard to come by. I've seen 2 other cars (one was a '84 gl-10 turbo sedan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylar Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 You know I didn't notice that until you mentioned it lol Im not sure if just the older Gl's have em or what . I know my 88 gl has the windows mounted up farther by the window . I do have the drivers mirror and the parts not sure if it's broken or not I'll have to look . And yeah you can have the brackets before I get rid of it . I already ditched the whole ac system on my car and swapped the brackets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l75eya Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 You are the man. Would the mirrors be asking for too much? :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subruise Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 door mounted mirrors were 85 only. the glass is also different in the doors on these. first year ea82. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylar Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 This is the drivers side mirror and where the mount broke off. The mount piece isnt plastic so maybe it could be welded back together ? Idk up to you . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechanical_misfit Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Boy, you west coast guys have it good. That would be a super sweet find here in the mid west. I would love to be able to fix one like that up. You should see some of the parts cars I've had. They make that one look like a new car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylar Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 If anyone wants this car it's your for free ! I need to be out of my house by the end of the month and I can't take this thing with . The hood and roof are dented , no grill or turn signals mostly everything's busted . Only salvageable thing is probably the motor which has a blown HG but it still runs and drives. I took it back to the woods rallied the piss out of it creased the oil pan til it was pukin oil and the y pipe also got flattened lol I have another exhaust for it though . Drained oil and welded the pan . Put new oil and filter on still runs !! No title or registration, no tabs since 06 and it starts with any key . Come tow this thing away or I'm gonna take it out to the woods and rally it again and leave it .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
