Finally back on track

Needing room in the garage for more important things (read motorcycles), I've finally begun to button up the loose bits under the bonnet. With the engine mostly reassembled and accessories bolted on, it's time to address the electrical wires and vacuum lines. Taking detailed pictures before disassembling makes all the difference when putting it all back together again.

Until next time, and the next pint!

More reconstruction progress

The valve covers, water pump and some timing bits went on this evening over a bit of Sam Adams' Cream Stout. I'll update these posts with pics as soon as I find the time.

Until then...

Engine reassembly started

I finally found some free time (and motivation) to begin reassembling the engine. I pulled the engine off the transmission and rotated it forward to get to the oil pan gasket. After replacing that, and reinstalling the engine block, I began to work on the heads and cam housings. Now that those are done, I'm about to put the valve covers back on and work on the top side. I'm not looking forward to the wiring and hoses, but I'll get through it eventually...

Slow progress

Not much free time to dedicate to the wagon lately. I've been gathering parts and reading about Subaru's more recently, not wanting to go out in the cold garage much...
