Went to take the MY for a drive and noticed tell tale CV grease on the front driver side firewall. Didn't have a new boxed set of boots so pulled new boots of a front drive shaft I had pulled part and refitted new boots to not too long ago. This shaft clicked straight away so it was pulled back out ...

Now I just have to sort out the mess I created with the fitting of the new alternator.
Long story, will document this when time and patience permits.

dfoyl What is this carby off ? I don't see it as looking like mine (1982 EA81) Following is the course of action I have taken with my solenoid which has bought me some time. Firstly, I cleaned up the end of my solenoid to expose as much of the wire as possible. http://ausubaru.com.au/picture.php?alb...

I have done this before too but if for some reason the car wants to run on (lots of reasons for this) you have to basically stall it to make it stop.
I will get to the bottom of this just dont know how yet.

Would you like a photo of the solenoid or the carby ?
Please don't toss the carby yet, is it a manual choke model ?

EA81 Carby (manual choke) anti run on solenoid

The wire on my EA81 carby (Hitachi ?) anti run on solenoid has finally given up and broken off about 3mm from right down inside the solenoid.
I hope to be able to get one more go at soldering the wire back on but this may or may not work.
Any idea on where to get a new one ?

Anyone know what sort of rims these are, may be 14's.
Love the bloke on the front end trying to bring it back down to earth.

82 Subaru Leone Touringwagon Leather Version

An import I guess.
My 82 Touring wagon doesn't have the headlight washers, electric mirrors, joystick fader for the stereo and the instrument cluster is different (of course no leather either).

Not finding much on the web though and this one while being the right brand is too short. http://www...

Mental blank on plastics makers from the 80's

I am racking my brain to remember the manufacturer of plastics like bonnet and headlight protectors from the 80's. I seem to recall their symbol was 2 black flags back to back sitting at an angle. Anyone remember their name, it wasn't Aunger, trying to recall as I think this was the mob who made the...

OK, this may not be exciting to anyone else but it certainly is to me.

A year or so ago I painted this panel off the car with the mixed, original No 15 silver m...

You could try a silver hammertone, i have used it with a paint brush works fine and has the advantage of being very strong, only problem is it ends up with a sheen like galvanised iron, and takes a few days to dry properly, there may be variety that is a plain silver, try rustoleum and see what the...

Bennie I am just looking for options to metallic and needing a clear top coat. From my experience with painting the roof I find the whole metallic/top coat spray painting process difficult.
