1983wagon Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Thought I would put some pics up of my wagon. Ausubaru members would have seen this already. I bought from an elderly one owner. it has 147000 kms on the clock. am currently rebuilding the stock ea81 and giving it a freshen up. Will stay stock and just use as a weekend cruiser. Its in too good condition to mess with. All I have done is paint up the white 13s I got and put some chrome wheel trim on them.] 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ystrdyisgone Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Looks awesome! What color blue is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1983wagon Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 It's just a UHT engine enamel blue. I will see if it has a code for the colour when I'm out in the shed next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEECHBM69 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Looks awesome! What color blue is that? It's just a UHT engine enamel blue. I will see if it has a code for the colour when I'm out in the shed next. Looks a lot like Ford engine blue to me. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 That Subaru is Very Beautiful, I Like it! Only for sharing information: The LADM (Latin American Domestic Market) is full of Touring Wagons, because people here prefered them over standard wagons; so you can see Touring Wagons of those EA81 (Leone) the EA82 (Loyale) and even Legacy. What are your Plans with that Nice Touring Wagon? Kind Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1983wagon Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 Well currently rebuilding the engine. The carb is getting rebuilt as we speak and the heads are at the machine shop... Just keep it mostly stock and enjoy her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Keeping it Stock and in Good Working Conditions is Great Idea! Kind Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkankinPickle Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I don't know what it is about Astrial Gold met. and white wagon wheels that makes these wagons look so good. Another color possibility for the proper type of engine enamel in spray can form for the valve covers/water pump pully is from this company in the states called Bill Hirsch Automotive: http://www.hirschauto.com/prodinfo.asp?number=EEA-SPRAY&variation=BUI%20TURQ The color: Buick Turquoise 1942-52 & 53 Specials This color is really close and gives the stock appearance. If you have a compressor and paint gun here is some in AUS: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Buick-Turquoise-1942-52-Engine-Enamel-Bill-Hirsch-Hitep-/230685541114 For the air cleaner, seen a few people use this and it looks great! http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/DPLG/DE1610/N0487.oap?ck=Search_N0487_DPL_-1_-1&mn=Dupli-Color®&mc=DPL&pt=N0487&ppt=C0171 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
