I just realized I started this same thread 4 years ago, but I cant find a way to delete this thread.

Its an orig back windows, 4 speed OT car.

Trying to (yet again) jumpstart my resto project. Starting with brakes, and wanted to make sure I had the "year" correct as there seems to have been some inaccuracies in the later years of import. My title claims 1970, with a VIN of K111L4260. I'd like to try to once and for all narrow dow...

Best I can tell, AppleHyd want 85$ per cyl, vs 80$ per cyl for white post.

Am I missing something?

Their reply: "Good afternoon Rob- The cost to sleeve and rebuild the wheel cylinders is $80/per cylinder and the master cylinder is $225. Return shipping and handling is $20 (within US). All work will be returned to you with a lifetime warranty. If you would like to use our services, please com...

Yea I did that for an hour or so, and I guess I've just never found a definitive answer. I guess I was looking for a readers digest ver, a faq perhaps. I did find the crossover for the seals, and I ordered some gasket material so I can laser cut some new gaskets when I do finally get the wheels done...

WhitePost seems to quote about 750 to rebuild all 6 cyls, and the master. Anyone have any experience with something cheaper? What should I expect to pay for shoe relining, and is there a good vendor for that? Is there a cross reference for seals? I am slowly pulling it apart, and sand blasting and g...

Shifter and floor levers...

One of the tires I have is (what was a) nice look Pirelli Cinturato Radial....

I see that someone has reproduced the front windshield and gasket, is there anything available for the rear plastic window?

Mine has OT

Early 69's had plastic rear windows as well. My guess is that he may have a right side directional stalk as well I'm not sure what directional stalk means. Does that mean turn signal? I'm trying to see if I have some pics of the inside of the car to even look. I was trying to get it cleaned up befo...

If your car still has the original gearshift knob, it will tell you if it's a three speed or more likely, a four speed. The three speed is highly sought after by many members. I don't recommend mixing bias and radial tires. However, you may not have any spare unless you keep a bias for that purpose...

What should I expect to pay for a tire and tube?

It looks like if I'm in the UK, I have lots of options, but so far most local places can only supply a trailer tire in this size.

For tires, you'll need to decide whether you want to stay with the original bias ply (4.80 x 10) or go to radials (5.20 x 10.) There are no tires made in a radial whitewall (damn) so if you want whitewalls you'll need to stay with the primitive technology of bias tires. I'd recommend that you run b...

Hi Rob, Wow. That Florida Ocean air really corroded your Subie. Do you have a plastic rear window? is this a 1968 three speed car? I believe all 69-70 Sedans had glass rear windows. Maybe take some interior shots to confirm. Welcome to the club! We'll help you get it on the road and to the show cir...

It had previously suggested Whitepost for the rebuild, but I've not called them yet. My pressure washer pump died, so I need to get that rebuilt before I can blast this thing and start taking parts off. At this point, my attitude is that pre-mix is better than NO mix. I'm not even sure how to tell t...

A Few pics...

Greetings all, finally caved in and took on the project of my father's 1970 sedan. Purchased new for $854. Car was parked in the late 80s, in running order, and left to sit. I managed to air up the tires (and they are holding air) and get it to the shop, just trying to clean out the rat nests/etc. S...

When you use those suggested tires, do you use tubes? or run that tubeless?

I think I might still have the orig tank. Digging through crap to see if I do, this pic was at least a good start since I think I have 4 possible options. Thanks for the pic.

I have the bor now but not the membership list I guess first purchases for me will be to find some new tires and a replacement fuel tank. Tires are trashed and the fuel tank died many years ago and I don't even know where it might be. (anyone have a pic of a tank) Any suggestions? I'm going to have ...

Greetings to the group. I've ended up with a 1970 360 that my father bought new and I spent my weekends in growing up. First car I ever drove (and ran into a tree) and I think its time to get her running again. It was running and parked about 12 years ago under cover, so I expect it will be quite a ...
