    Hmm, I'd LOVE to have that car, and if it's free I'd love to come get it...but I dont' think another project car is a good idea...

    I really want to put a eg33 in that exact body style...

    Chux should get the body and put an EJ motor in it.

    an enormous shame to part out. let me know if there's any way to get paperwork to sell as a working car. I'd be seriously interested in EJ-swapping it and reselling (assuming the frame rails are solid). or maybe even EJ-swapping, lifting, and keeping.....

    if you do part it out. I'd be interested in front bumper/fenders/hood/a door or 2 (depending on condition), seats, possibly other interior bits, and rear suspension (trailing arms, brakes, hubs). TCat55371 would probably be interested in the motor, I know he's been having pretty bad luck with his EA82ts.

    what trans? being an '85 it's probably part-time 4WD. dual range? probably, as I don't see the single-range vacuum solenoids.

    fat chance, but, rear LSD?

    mmmm......H-alloys. too bad I don't have any 4x140 cars (of course, if I did, I wouldn't have passed on the last "H"s I had)


    Martin, it's an '85, so it'll have the deeper DOJ cups on both ends of the rear axles that you could use on your brat. EDIT: no, EA81s have 2-bolt tophats, EA82s have 3.

    yeah. For some reason I think my Brat has only two top hat bolts, while it looks like your GL10 has 3.

    EDIT: What would you want for the rear axles? and perhaps the diff if its a LSD.

    if it's still working (i.e. test BEFORE you start ripping stuff apart), the air suspension bits might fetch some $$$ (not from me though, I hate the crap!).

    put it back together!!! dont kill a rare one! you will find someone to take the whole thing off your hands. file for a lost title or whatever you have to do. go talk to the dmv and have the lady you got it from write you a letter stating she gave it to you and if there is any way to title it to allow you to do so. i sense bad karma from killing a perfectly good running and functioning rare subaru.

    just a quick FYI on why this is such a neat car. the first subaru WRC car to receive a podium finish, was an '86 sedan, VERY similar to what you have there:

    Motor

    If you do end up parting it down the road let me know what you want for the motor. I dont need it right now, both cars are running and parted for the winter. Just something to think about. Have to pay on my taxes so I'm in no hurry.

    Hope someone takes it off your hands. My first Subaru was the samething. Put some tall tires on it and it went thru snow like crazy. Thats the car that got me hooked on Scoobys.
    Problem is the front frame rails rot away, mine were bad when I got it and i drove it 2 winters before I junked it.

    Good luck with it.

    (hey, next time I need a motor pulled I'll have you two do it and learn and I will drink beer) lol

    sweetness. stay in touch as you find out what things cost. I am seriously interested in buying/swapping it. although to rear wheel wells do look pretty ugly.

    and definitely a lot of surface rust underneath it, as I suspected, the undercoating is flaking off. what kind of mileage does it have?

    I circled the frame rail were rust is the biggest problem. this is were I'm most concerned. too much rust there is a deal-breaker as far as I'm concerned.
