Here is the link to my 74 2002 that I sold last year

Here is my new project 2002 that I picked up a few days ago.

When I picked it up it did not run and I was told it needed a carb rebuild. Once I got it home I installed a new battery, plugs, coil, oil and a filter. Turned the key and it fired right up! Runs good so I took it around the block and it drives good!

The next day I installed a new Hazard switch and a electric flasher for my turn signals. I also ordered urethane motor mounts, urethane trans mount, plug wires and a electric fuel pump.

I also removed all the smog stuff today (EGR stuff, a bunch of vac lines and the air pump) It runs even better now!

I'm planning on turbo flares and the same wheels that I had on my last 2002 (15x7 Drag DR-20's with the 10mm offset) I will probably pick up a header and a weber carb soon!

I really liked your last one, seems like your just picking up right around where you left off with it with this one. Post up some more pics, 1 exterior is just a tease.

I like the drag wheels a lot. Did the 10 offset require the flares? Does anyone else run these wheels...they are the same ones on the red car pictured on the IE website. I wonder what the offset would be without flares? Anyone have any ideas?

[ryansti]

The 15x7 in the 10mm offset required flares to fit. The red car on the IE website has 15x8 +25 offset OG's I tried them on my 74 but the required a spacer to clear the front struts so I went with the 15x7's

[ryansti]

Installed the IE motor mounts lastnight, going to install the IE trans mount on Sat.

[Hammer03]

You needed a spacer to get 15x8 et0 wheels on the front? Are you running bent struts or something that would give you less clearance?

I have wheels of the same size and offset and they clear the strut with lots of room. The footwell and nose panel, not so much though.

[ryansti]

LoL I was wrong they were 15x8 +25 offset, thats why they didn't fit.

[ryansti]

The tires on the 2002 are shot so I'm thinking about getting flares, wheels and tires soon so I can start driving it. Either going to do 15x7 10mm offset Drag DR20's with 205/50-15's or 13x7 0mm offset HD RSB's with 215/50-13's. I kinda like the look of 13's on the 2002 so I'm leaning towards those.

Here is a pic of the 13x7's I'm interested in...

Started welding all the trim holes today. Its coming along fast!

[ryansti]

Turbo flares from IE came on Monday. Also picked up a nice momo steering wheel and a long tube header. Probably going to pick up a weber 38 next week.

Also thinking about 13x8 Rota RB's with 4mm offset

[Manuel]

I think the 13x8 RB is going to be sweet with the 215/50 13.

Im thinking about painting the 2002 subaru aspen white.

[Pinepig]

Actual paint this time, WOW. :-)

Actual paint this time, WOW. :-)

LoL yea this one does not have all the rust that the 74 had. Only thing that sucks is that the guy I bought it from cut the factory seat rails out of it and I want to use the low back seats that I got from you. So I see a lot more welding in my future.
