New Subaru van Owner from Kentucky
Hello,
I am Travis, I am a newbie to the Subaru 360 family. Until now I have only had an Isetta. I went to Texas and rescued my little van. It hasn't ran since the early 70's and has been setting outside, so with that being said, its going to need a lot of work! But I'm excited.
If anyone has any spare parts please let me know!
Thanks
Travis

Never been to Texas.. But I like their big slices of toast!
Your best bet it to resize the image down a bit or host it on a 3rd party photo service. i.e. photobucket, or tinypic...

Re: New Subaru van Owner from Kentucky
Travis That's really nice looking van!!! Great project!! Did it have the rear seat???
Re: New Subaru van Owner from Kentucky
No it didn't have the rear seat, so I'm in need of one!! I also need, the engine access cover, and I'm needing a rear upper gate ( where rear window is)
The van has bad metal around all the windows, under where rubber seals are, but other than that it seems to be pretty solid.
