Anyone that can, and wants it, should go ahead and build something better than i have for this car. I made up what was required and desired for the build. I could do far fancier and extensive fabrications, but it's about making the right part for the right purpose.
As for having the time, my own car needs lots of work and my other one was supposed to be on the road months ago. But too many things being on my plate means some things take longer to accomplish than what we want. On top of the constant Subaru designs and fabrication, I'm also building two go-karts, a flying fox, and other things. It would be quicker if I could just buy the parts I need, but having to make a large centrifugal clutch, planetary gearbox, braking components, steering parts and other bits and peices from sratch all takes time. Especially slow progress when all the machining and forming is done with an angle grinder, drill press, welder and a hammer. But having kids means more trouble than you could imagine, otherwise condom sales would affect the stock exchange more...

How the he'll did you get those ratty old mud flaps to come up like that? When I saw Ross starting to clean them up the other day, I honestly thought it was a lost effort. They came up a million bucks, top work!
Funds came through yesterday to finish off the remaining bits and pieces. Will give you guys a ring when I know I will have wheels.

Started to connected up the lights . Number plate lights on rear bar are now connected to the car. Got a old M.Y. harness and cut the same colored wires out of it, to extend the ordinal wires, as , with the new bar , has the indicators not quite the same spot. Also the new ones are L series , so ends have to be changed anyway.

One more little problem has now been over come. The E.J. engines ( the ej 22 ) doesn't have very many vacuum lines on it. For that matter , i have only found 2. One for the fuel return and one on the throttle body. With the L series center diff lock box , it requires vacuum to hold the center diff in or out of lock. Also the fresh and recycle flap in the brumby requires vacuum to switch between them. On the manifold there is a blank off. Lucky for us , on one of our spare engines , there was a vacuum out let . So over to this engine it went.

Yeah, they're probably frozen (to shrink it), glued, and put it with a really big rattle gun... But, all you need is a spare 1/4 inch drive socket, file the square shank of the plug down a little so you can hammer the socket onto it (backwards), then use an allen key in the socket to crack the thread and undo the little sucker.

You must have the magic touch . Out of seven engines, not one of them came out easy. .El_Freddo wrote:I too had to get one of these little hollow tube pieces to operate the air duct controls on the dash - found one in an early Gen1 liberty. And the blank screw came out with ease, I think I just used a shifter to do the job.
