Hi All,

Gee the site has changed since I was last on. Lookin good!!

Anyway, for those of you following subyroo's progress it stands now as follows.

I have decided to have him towed to the wonderful man John down at volksbaru in doncaster for him to replace the motor which I have had him rebuilding for the last few months now. As usual with anything I attempt, there were quite a few dramas, but mostly sorted now.
I should have him back within the month I would say !! Then I can get onto the air con issue, and finally come out 4wd'ing with you guys!!!!

Anyone know who does seats for my little man ? Or should I just go to a wrecker. Im not sure if his seats are orig, but they do not have covers, however the upholstery on them looks like covers Anyway !!

Hi to all, sorry I havnt been around much, just thought I would give you a progress update !!

A good upgrade is to put seats from an L series touring wagon in. I know they bolt straight into an EA81 Brumby so good chance they'll go into yours too.
Otherwise if you know somebody who can weld it's only a fairly minor mod to do on WRX or Liberty seats and they can go in too.

Otherwise check in the yellowpages for automotive re-trimmers, most of them can completely re-upholster car seats.

Good news to hear you'll get him back soon!

Good to hear he'll be on his way Carlie! I hope he'll do everything you want him to do. I probabily won't be 4wd'n until I get the EJ fitted - I guess we'll be close to par with our subi's.

I'm looking forward to meeting you and your subi beast sometime.

Cheers

If you want to retrim the seats, try Regal Auto Trimmers in the Wandin area. I've used Supertrim in Nunawading and they were pretty good too.

I would personally suggest putting in later-model seats (will be much cheaper) or try the gen 1 wagon at Pick-a-Part and see what the condition of those seats are in.

awesome... We would be interested an report of start and toward to the end & updates... plus dramas that you had etc etc...

Can't wait to see it back on the road!
Cheers

There's only room for one of us on this Forum pardner, see you at sunrise on Main Street and you better be packin' some serious hardware.

Well, I reckon if you don't have a 70's subi your not in the running! Either way, we have a member callede subyroo and a subi vehicle that's called subyroo - you should be proud of that Subyroo (the member)

Nissan Pulsar seats fit, i think a hole might need widening i forget.

N13, N14(maybe), R30 Skyline... cars of that era.
Comfy seats but have a circular hand adjuster.... Lumbar support for driver.
