sparkster58 Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 What soob owners will do to cool down the engine.......lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushbasher Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 they made a new beetle float on monster garage by filling it with expandable foam, you could probably do the same thing to a subaru. Then like fox says, run a prop off the d-shaft. Ive got a huge collection of oil drums, it would be cool to weld them up and strap them to a car and go cruisin across the Sooke basin, about 200ft from my house.

TomRhere Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Man, were you lucky! Could've ended a lot worse than it did. After you get done hosing out the car, invest in a few cans of electrical contact cleaner, spraydown every connection, switch, circuitboard, ect, ect, ect, add infintum.

iluvdrt Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 wow, i just read this. i have been gone for a while. i sunk my toyota truck in a river once. it is definatly a scary thing. im glad you didnt loose her. i dont know if it has already been said, but you should probably hose off all the metal on the car so it doesnt rust. also keep in mind if you need any parts im parting out my 85 d/r wagon.

Turbone Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I think you just got your self a new nickname. Salty Or maybe Capt. Morgan (you werent drinking when you did this, eh?) Yea, and the steering wheel (helm) was a neat touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theDirtyRue Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Truly amazing! Good luck with the washing and I hope you don't run into too many problems down the line from all that salt! Keep washing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 someone should link this to FARK, they'd love it. I'd recommend a couple more oil changes soonish, due to the salt. good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Yeah - we already changed the oil twice - used cheap stuff and Fram filters. hehe. Pulled the valve covers and cleaned those out. The PCV lines were getting clogged with water/oil mix. It runs, but it won't idle. Too many contaminates in ocean water - plus all the sand and what not. Weber rebuild kit is in the mail - we'll have it back on the road shortly. The part that made me laugh was when Nick bent the ignition key because the lock had rusted up. Little graphite and it will be ok, but that's some deep arse water to have rusted the ignition lock..... GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Don't forget to remove the door panels and flush-out the inards of the doors. Be sure to lube everything inside afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Basically - I think he needs to dismantle the car down to the uni-body and have the whole friggin thing zinc plated. The way he drives, he needs it. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
