  • Опубліковано 12 сер 2024
  • November of 2016, I found an online posting of a 1984 Subaru GL Hatchback for sale in Hood River, Oregon. Merl, the 2nd owner of the Subaru, asked an employee at his local Les Schwab tire center to list the Subaru for sale as he wasn’t comfortable advertising it. In the coming days, I arranged for my friend Phil and I to drive down in a slightly more modified 84’ Subaru GL built by Gregg Huld

    My first Subaru was a metallic blue one of these. My beloved 1.8l GLF, 4 speed. Loved this car. It went everywhere. Used to go offroading with my dad, He had a Series 2A Land Rover and this was way way better, often used this little beauty to pull the Landy out. Mine rusted to death. Nothing stopped working on it ever BUT couldn't afford all the welding it needed so had to sell it. Had the hatch with 4lo+4hi and a few years later had the DL estate 5 speed with 2hi+2hi+4lo. My favourite car ever.
    Great vid.

    I had one just like that in the mid 1990's. God wish I had it now, then I got a black one in 2000, yep, God wish I had it now. Great off road. Wish I could come across another one.

    How does a dealership add a sunroof?

    • @mitchkelleher7972
      @mitchkelleher7972 6 років тому

      As far as I could see from the ones I had: cut a hole, drop in the sunroof kit with sealer around the flange, and screw in the inside trim underneath to sandwich it all together. They were made to be simple and quick to install especially where this kind of thing was very common at the time and I believe all these car's sunroofs were aftermarket. The one I had on my '83 sedan didn't have the bolts going through the glass like most and was big enough to jump through, which I often did in the summer by leaving the glass out. My 1990 Legacy's aftermarket sunroof was installed while they replaced the windshield and everything was done in a few hours. I never had any leaks, squeaks, or other problems with either sunroof (though both cars were pretty loud, so it would be easy to miss) and I actually kind of liked popping the glass out as opposed to the electric sliding ones I've had in modern cars because it gave it more of a sense of occasion, like a T-roof or Targa.
