Was this the guy: Brian Kliment subaru360club@gmail.com?

Be sure to save any extra parts. They will be of use to most of us who are rebuilding rather than kustomizing. Good luck with your project !!

My address is: 144 W. Norman Ave, Arcadia, 01007. (Two blocks south of Camino Real, one block west of Santa Anita Avenue.) 626) 447-7130. I'm retired so am generally available -- but call first, in case I'm at the doctor's office. The best thing is to call the day before and let us know you're comin...

If you are ever in the area (of Arcadia, CA) and want to see both of mine, let me know. One is a show car (sort of), is painted yellow and is the one I drive when I want to show off. The other is tricked out as a Tiki Truck with a South Seas look. (Sometimes I drive the Tiki Truck to show off, too.)...

Try calling Greg at (646) 334-5998. I think he's in NY. He's selling some truck parts.

rogerbhp

Garm in California has or had some new repops of the windshields.

Congratulations on having two of our favorite vehicles .... and welcome to the club. I also have two trucks, one is restored and yellow in color, the other is done tiki style, with a palapa roof over the rear.

Do you know what Bobby DeCola has available for the T/V? As I remember, he has made up all new quarter window rubbers, new gaskets for all the running lights, backup lens and gasket, Subaru star emblem, Subaru nose script (I think), new gaskets for brake lights, etc.

Nice looking van !!! There's another very nice van in San Diego that's owned by a guy named Tony. His van is for sale on Craigslist now. You can get his phone # from his ad if you're interested. Looking good !!!

Part of my Parkinson's Disease is a loss of memory. It looks like I've begun losing my memory very quickly, so if you get a response from me that doesn't make sense, that's the reason.

Pull the R/F wheel and examine the frame carefully. The number is printed on top of the frame.

Andrew,
You may want to check into Rutledge Wood's van which is for sale for $6,500 (with a non-Subaru engine.)

There were several more body configurations that were never imported here to the U.S. I've been told that they included a 3-door (with a covered right rear side door) and a panel truck (with no side glass behind the driver.) They definitely produced a flat bed (where the 3 sides folded down.) I have...

On the Portugese van: It looks to me as if the L/R door was never meant to be opened (the C pillar is fairly thin and doesn't appear to be openable.) The parking lights are obviously after-market (possibly what Lee will need to do to make his van legal.) There are no roof lights so I'd guess the yea...

Andrew, Dave from Pomona, California has his van on auction right now on ebay. I don't know if his van will fit your requirements but you may wish to look at its bidding progress to see if it fits your need. We're having a meet near him on April 8, 2017. Assuming he makes it to the meet and he still...

I guess the real issue is how good is the car now and how good do you want it to be? If it's fairly rust-free or you just want a beater for yard driving, you're talking about two very different cars. Is it fairly complete and runs well .... or is the car in need of a complete restoration? There are ...

rogerbhp

Brakes are one of the weak spots on the car. It's better to do them once and do them right than to have to go back again and again .... but doing them right means having to spend some money. To do them right: 1) Get the rubber cups from ebay (sedans are different than the trucks and vans (T/Vs) 2) F...

There are relatively few replacement parts available for the Subaru 360 but you'll have a little easier time with the sedan than with the Truck or Van (T/V), as more of the sedans were imported. You'll need to reach the following members here on this forum: Garm Bealle - is going out of the Subaru b...

rogerbhp

Last I heard, the beloved co-founder of our club, Ed Parsil, is still rebuilding carburetors -- at a very reasonable cost. If you need a windshield, you'd better contact Garm Bealle ASAP to see if he has any of his reproductions left; he's closing down his Subaru parts business and soon (maybe now) ...

The guy that (maybe) had a seat seems to have disappeared. My two last PMs have not been picked up yet so I assume he's no longer interested in Subies. If you want to go non-original for a back seat, there are several junkyard choices you can make. Also, recently (a couple of months ago?) this subje...

rogerbhp

Congrats on finding and buying a really rare and sought after vehicle! They're hard to get into good running condition but well worth it when you do! I suggest you put your location onto your icon on the left side of the page.

rogerbhp

Every time I've bought a car there has always been something else that made the timing of another car purchase bad at the time .... but when I followed through on the purchase, I was always happy I did. The first time you drive the van, you'll forget about how much you paid for it. I'll try to reach...

rogerbhp

You are correct to see what it needs for reliability before doing anything else to it. Maybe you'll get lucky and dodge the "brake" bullet that all 360 owners seem to face .... if so, you'll be very lucky, indeed. (The brakes are probably the one weak point in the car.) The good and the ba...

rogerbhp

Congratulations on your new acquisition! The van looks good! For the last six months or so, I've been trying to help a friend with the van he just got .... and I can tell you that available vans in almost any condition (and parts for them) are extremely hard to find! As you know, the value of a give...

rogerbhp

I'm not getting it.

rogerbhp

It looks like one van and one pickup have white parking light lenses which tells me the vehicles are Japanese imports -- or that someone over here got some Japanese lenses.

rogerbhp

It looks like you're going all the way with your sedan .... and it looks very nice!

rogerbhp

Welcome to the club! When you find a suitable 360, let's hope that this experience is better than the last. I suggest that you list your city/area as part of your avatar.

rogerbhp

Now that's impressive! I don't think I know of a newby who has come better prepared. Congratulations and welcome!

rogerbhp

Welcome, Max! There's a lot of helpful information on this forum about keeping your car running. Post some pictures and add your location.

rogerbhp

Please post some photos of your 360. What I saw leads me to believe that your van has been modified to eliminate the side windows. Although we have recently had some success in getting repopped parts (thanks, Bobby, Garm, Little Car Lover, Ron, Nathan, and others), no one is making the brackets yet ...

rogerbhp

Welcome! I suggest you add your area to the space on the left (in case other Subie owners want to give you NOS parts .... or in case someone has a van for sale.)

rogerbhp

The Prodigal Son Returns! Welcome back!

rogerbhp

Welcome to the club! Which model 360 do you have? There is a lot of parts interchange between the truck and van (T/V) but there is very little interchange between the T/V and the sedan (except for certain engine parts, many of which are the same.) In the 25 years I've been playing with Subies, I've ...

rogerbhp

Scotty, On a van, it's very easy make a steel strap to lean the seatback away from the steering wheel. (It works fine.) On the sedan, you can figure out what to do. (That works fine, too.) The truck is more complicated as it will require some surgery; just figure out how tall you want to be after th...

rogerbhp

Scotty, Welcome to the club! Before buying a 360, it would be a good idea for you to try one on. Any chance you could arrange a rendezvous with a sedan or a van? They would be a little snug, I'm sure, but they should be do-able. Don't even think about getting a truck.

rogerbhp

Welcome to the club, Patrick. I have found that this club will always try to be of assistance, if it can.

rogerbhp

For outside mirrors: the stalk mirrors are OK .... but for a better field of vision, I'd suggest you use hot-rod "peep" mirrors. Available at any hot-rod shop for about $20 to $25.

rogerbhp

There were two types of hubcaps; they differed only in the type of metal used and not in the shape of the cap. Chromed steel went onto vans while raw aluminum went onto the pickups. From an originality standpoint, the hubcaps should not be painted or polished -- although I think you should make your...

rogerbhp

Welcome to the club! When you get your truck out, we love to see pictures. It appears that you have the relatively rare aluminum hubcaps on the truck .... aluminum ones are correct for the truck (only.) Suggest you put your state in the info at the left.

rogerbhp

When you get tired of it, I'll take the chopped one on the right. I have a 460 with a C6 ready to drop in. Then add some discs and juice brakes and I'll be styling! It is possible to have brake problems on your Subie even if the hoses look good. Sometimes the brake fluid gets to the inside of the ru...

I've never had to replace any rubber brake lines yet but I'm in California. I have replaced a few rubber brake lines on total restorations but it was never essential that they be done.

Welcome to the club! There's a Subaru radio on ebay .... for $1,000!!

Hello, Mike! Good to have you aboard. The original tires were 4.80 x 10 bias; most owners prefer a 5.20 x 10 radial for handling, ride and safety, though. You can get 4.80s from Coker Tires; Coker will sell you direct or you can buy from several of their agents around the country (including Garm Bea...

I can see all the pictures now.

Yeah, the "image" icon shows up on Ted's post but nothing happens when I click the "image" signs. Ted?
