gen1lover Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Is this car worth $300? Would I ever be able to find the rear axle shafts for it?:-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBARU3 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I'm sure you could find , or adapt rear axles. $300 is fair. Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gen1lover Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 Ok, I called the yard and told them I will take the wagon so I hope everything goes as planned. Can I flat tow this car (towbar) without causing any damage? Remember the rear axles are not in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBARU3 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Yes...you can flat tow. Make sure 4WD is disengaged. Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cricket Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I flat towed mine with the 4wd lever in the "not engaged" position, which I guess would be the 2wd position (sorry, my lever is missing the label; but I believe 4wd is down, and 2wd is up). Mine's a 79, so there might be a difference. Check your local public library for old repair manuals. Orrrr, maybe moosens or subaru3 can correct me. Does the 4WD lever have a neutral position?

gen1lover Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 Does anyone know if this car has an ignition/steering wheel lock? There is no key for it and the wheels will need to turn to flat tow it. Also, any ideas on what to do about the missing key/how to get a key? Sorry for all the stupid questions and thanks to all in advance for helping;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cricket Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Key: a good mobile locksmith will make a key on the spot (unless you're in the boonies) for $100 or less. some don't even need a vin/keycode book. Lock: sledge hammer and screwdriver into the lock barrel always works. But if you've made the key.... You might want to consider a tow dolly, less than 50 bucks a day, and hope the steering isn't locked. Or winch it onto flatbed trailer.

SUBARU3 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 The lever down is 4WD/ up is FWD. There should be an ignition lock. The steering design has a LOT of play left to tight before locking though. If you take the ignition switch off, that takes care of the locked steering.

Sorry for all the stupid questions and thanks to all in advance for helping;) Yes, it has a steering wheel lock. Resolution: either get a key (as noted above) if you have the $$ to do it, or disassemble the ignition mechanism and take it off the steering wheel, that will remove the bolt. You can get a generic ignition with new keys for $10-20. Having a key made would be better, tho, since it would probably also work in the doors.
