G'day...

G'day people,
Thought I'd join up here and paste a bit of stuff from facecrack...
Just been to the wrecker for a heater box and have been disappointed to find plastic heater core tanks... does anyone rebuild or replace them in brass?
Newish to this Subaru affliction but my little missus has an L wagon (93 build? EA82) and I'd thought I'd get some input from the experts... might even spend a penny on the forum... lol.
I've upgraded the headlight wiring & found two different globes fitted, one H4 and the other a vandalised H4 that I understand should be a H6. I'm looking to replace the whole light assy because that one is cracked but what year did they change?
It promptly spat a RH timing belt at 200140km so I've been through that, new genuine water pump, all new hoses & rocker cover gaskets while it was apart.
5000km on and sadly the green stuff started piddling out of the dash yesterday so I'm wondering who has a wagon I can tear apart for a heater core. I'm we'll versed in general car dash removal but I'd like to get some practice before attacking the "good" car. My limited experience of a local specialist wrecker has found them in the range of mildly helpful to tell him he's dreamin'
I'd like to find a cluster with a tachometer if they're available? I understand there's some differences but something that counts revs & has an idiot light for oil pressure would be fine.
As for wheels & tyres, I don't see a lift kit coming anytime but tyres will be needed soonish. It mainly does city work with some dirt road but not much "hardcore" 4wd action. Do I find some more stock wheels & some sort of knobby snow tyre to bolt on for the occasional Flinders Ranges trip? Do they have a 14" that doesn't hang outside the body? I've yet to try her out but there could be call for some street legal sticky hoops for tarmac hillclimbs... I actually put SAAB 15" wheels on my old Galant wagon for those events.
We're in Adelaide & she actually wants to drive to Melbourne in a few days so there's some urgency but it won't stop proceedings.
Anyhoo, hope you guys can help, I'm off to fit some HID lights on it today;)
Cheers
Anthony
