hello im a new member ( chad )

[chaddy]

i think i have a 68 360 deluxe, thats what the tail lights say for year. i never blogged or forumed anybody before so hope i get this. i would like to say im in sacramento, ca and i was a little scared to do this car, but kids will love it so im going to try. i would like to say i need coil, points, cap and rotor to see if it will run. i was suprised to not see a simple parts list to buy parts put together on this site ? if it runs then i will rebuild it and then brakes, body. im also missing the driver side seat position piece that holds the seat up or forward, mine is missing so the seat back wont stay in place. it looks like its maybe aluminum ? has anybody converted one to convertible without doing a snap system all the way around, would like to try fold back like the vw's had ? also if anybody has a hood, r front fender and the lower body piece that goes between the front fender and hood with the lower bracket i would like to know . and a spare rim - thanks

Hi Chaddy , Welcome to the club. Your Kids will never forget the Subaru 360 as some of the clubmembers remember their parents 360s from when they were still kids. As for the parts list to buy from, I wish there was one! But you will find that this group will share parts & fixes that we have to keep the the 360s going, as ED Parsil who cofounded the club on this idea years ago & its still the rule we go by today! Ed has alot of parts still & has a list of what he has. Email him at subaru360nut@aol.com

Chad,
Welcome to the club! By all means be sure to ask plenty of questions here as you go through your 360. Folks here love to pitch in their ideas. AND there's 32 years of tech notes to dig through in the "BOR" - have you been given the link to download that yet? Also if you need any manuals see the link to my website below.

Oh, and post pictures whenever you can. Use them to illustrate whatever needs fixing, or just to show folks how things are going!
