Ping Pong Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I may be beating a dead horse or am I gonna blaze the trails in a RETRO RIG. My son is about to start driving and code enforcement was cracking down on my "SUBURBAN LARVA" now it has gone off to Rehab and surprisingly after 8 years of being an eyesore parked on the side of my driveway started and was purring for the mechanic before our train arrived in L A union station. We rode the Metrolink from Van Nuys CA. I thought it had engine problems 8 years ago and parked it!!! I found this site and looks like lots of fun. I am not a wrench twister (yet) too ignorant and lazy so I have to dust off my wallet when I need work. If I decide to LIFT this to the sky I would like to find someone who loves to do this for the car and the customer. Not sure if I am ready to commit but desire meeting someone out there that would find pleasure in busting knuckles for a cheap PING PONG! Cheep but also giving for insane projects that are done in a FUN way As of now we will see how "THE VERMIN" (my son's new name for the roo) runs and considering painting and getting it all new looking. Then let my son run it for awile stock and later making a monster out of it. Has anyone put these bodies on a sub frame and dropped in a Vortec 6 like in a chevy ZR2? That is kind of my idea of where the vermin should be in about ten years as I save some more STUPID MONEY! That is money left over after all the smart money is locked away!!! I will Postpone my Rubicon Dreams to keep this little Subaru Happy for a long time to come. Besides I can always get a RUBICON it is gonna be hard to find a MONSTER SUBARU!! Here is a link to some pics ..... http://www.lightdrop.com/Subaru.html .http://www.lightdrop.com/Subaru.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ping Pong Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 I apologize I am in the wrong forum, my bad sorry. But it is almost historic!! 26 years now guess historic is my age! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s'ko Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Welcome to USMB. As one of the old-timers of SoCal it's always great to have more people in the area. Who knows maybe one day we will be able to do a USMB mini-meet/BBQ. the wagon looks nice. re:the subframe and engine swap, go to the retrofitting forum and look at what people are doing there. It would be a lot cheaper to do a EJ swap than the vortech. BW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opelsuby Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Holy smokes! My neighbor would kill to have mine look that good. She called the cops about mine. She can't squawk now cause i got her plates and tabs. She also sees me working on it and that helps as opposed to just it sitting there.

nipper Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 You actually have neighbors in North Dakota I thought there were so few people there that that was easily avoidable :-p :-p nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opelsuby Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Nipper I hear ya man. You guys have more people living in Long Island than we do in the whole friggin State! Infact when I visit other States and they find out I'ma Nor Dakoootan, they ask about the Indians. Yes, we still have them I tell them. In fact, a group attacked the Fort the other day....and on it goes until they figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s'ko Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Speaking of Indians.... My friend and I who are both Chinese, once went to Montana once w/another friend to visit his family. We were browsing in a store and this dude comes up to us and asks... "what tribe are you from":lol: BACK to topic.... Ping Pong. If you need EA81 parts I have some in my garage left over from my swap. BW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I'm part Blackfoot and Cherokee, going back 2-3 generations on both sides of the family. Moms side even had a gypsy (her great grandmother). I wish dad didnt throw out that letter in the 1970's, that invited us to register. Paying for college would have been so much easier. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opelsuby Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Arrgh guys. I personally love the Indians up here. We have mostly Sioux and Chippewa depending upon which part of the State you're at. i spent two summer working construction on reservations. Those were good times. Oddly enough, even though i'm caucasian ( Norwegian and German with some other crap thrown in there...guess I'm a Mutt) I have been called a slightly derrogatory term for mexicans a few times. Apparently I tan up well. Oh and the Cheech moustache probably didn't help that either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
