Bucky92 Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I was offered for free today a 93 Loyale wagon. Has a blown head gasket and possibly a cracked head. Dont know anything else about it cept that the owner is going to junk it if I dont take it. Dont know if its a FWD or 4WD or anything. The person who told me about it doesnt know anything either....whole thing started out as they wanted me to put a water pump in it but I just dont have time.( Funny when ppl at you job know you are the Subaru Gal ) Its about35 miles from here and I dont want to pay a towing company to get it here...plus I dont really have a place to park it and strip it down. Or Maybe someone from here might want it. I can try to get more info tomorrow at work BYW its in Waterbury CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85Sub4WD Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I would first find out if it is 4WD - that makes a big difference as to whether or not it is worth persuing - then find out mileage and overall condition - if it is 4WD and pristine, save for the headgasket/head, and it has a lot of goodies, I would try to tackle it if I could in some way afford it - otherwise, I would see if I could nab some parts off it if he/she is going to junk it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I can already tell you its not free Borrowing a truck is free if someone can kick it down to yout but a tow dolly is $35/day around here and gas isnt cheap. $150 for head gaskets; $400 for a new head if it really needs one ($160 for a remaned head). Who knows what else is wrong with it if they overheated it real bad. In for a project car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not looking at it for a project...I already have my Bucky who is still in really good shape (cept for some neglectful basic maintanence stuff). I was looking at it to strip it down for parts..or maybe a fix and resell...I happen to have an extra pair of heads ..2 pair if you count the ones on my spare motor (that needs head gaskets). I was thinking more on the lines of getting the rear and all for anyone here on the board who needs one..IF it is a 4WD Loyale. I am still holding out for an early 80s coupe for my project.

Qman Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Hey Connie, If it is 4WD/AWD it may be worth it to swap your good motor into it and have a 4WD wagon. Checking it out costs nothing but the drive up. Might be a cheap up grade for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I know you can still strip it down at my place.We can leave it there for the landlord to steam over. Seriously,I can probably help you out depending on the situation. I might/should have an engine. What,no phone call?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulyburger...I dont want it for myself really...just wanted to maybe scavenge it for parts...I was basically thinking if it was 4WD to rip that out . If I am understanding the friend right..it isnt worth fixing so I am thinking probably a NE rust bucket. Saving myself for a coupe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 yo i got tenative plans to come up to pauls to work on some soobs. if you need a hand in parting fixing, or expediting the car i could help out. i have a tow bar that fits on ea82 subarus. heck i may be interested in the car myself, if you part it off for what you want, as long as it has a title and can be put back together i could take it with me. depending on the junkyard we could tow it to the yard and pull the suspensions this works out good with the towbar as i have junked 3 cars this way i figure if im out that way might as well get things lined up and run cartel on that part of the country! holalr back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
