Fixed Windshield Rev
1987 Subaru XT turbo GL Question?
I have this car and actually it's my second one in the last 10 years. This one I bought knowing it had issues, but haven't been able to find someone to fix it for me. Here's it is what I can tell you I know it needs for sure...I am looking for a front windshield for it if you know where I can get one, please let me know. I have contacted the local glass shops where I live and they don't make/cut that size.
The other issue is (and I think it's a head but I am a girl who is kinda clueless about cars)
When it starts (yes, it turns over and revs up) (and it's fuel injected) it runs really rough. After running and warming up a bit, you can drive it around the block, but only if you keep one foot on the gas and one foot on the break making sure to keep giving it gas when slowing down. It overheats within the first 5 minutes of driving and it dies if you don't keep some gas on even when slowing down. Any clues or ideas would be most helpful.
Thanks,
Lisa
Sounds to me like you have a head gasket leak.
Any shop that can do a subaru can do it.
Its the same 1.8L Turbo EA82 as every other subaru they had.

The Classic Automotive Product The Ford Model A Motor Auto
Creating a replacement for the phenomenally successful; Model T Ford will always be recognized as one of the toughest tasks in all the entire history of the automobile industry. Later successes in an established industry are always easier - the groundwork has been done. It is early on in the marketing cycle of a car , an industry or a sales territory is where the greatest efforts are usually required and the results success or failure are more dramatic. Mr. Henry Ford was confident and eccentric enough to want the Tin Lizzie to remain in production forever. Announced in 1908, the machine that put the world on wheels was destined to notch up just over 15 million sales before Mr. Ford accepted the fact a new model was vital and essential.
"Sixty-four today and the biggest job of my life is ahead" Ford exclaimed as work began on the Model A, which was given the designation as the first car ever produced by his company , back in 1903. Believe it or not Ford Model T production ended nearly six months before the first of the newcomers was delivered : the hiatus appearing all the more extraordinary when you appreciate was then a one model automotive car company. In terms of cars for sale; the immense River Rouge plant built nothing for the almost a half of 1928.
Although far more complex than its predecessor , the parts count was 40 % higher, and most of these automotive components were new - the Model A is a miracle of simplicity by today's modern standards - mechanical and of course electronic. Today's vintage classic car fans appreciate the fact the Model A was designed to be fixed by blacksmiths of what was then the outback wilds of North Dakota. Key features of the Model A vehicle included a traditional frame-type suspension, transverse leaf springs, front and rear hydraulic dampers, a conventional ignition system, a safety-glass windshield, and a brake for each wheel. Like the Tin Lizzie, the newcomer was offered with an assortment of two door and door bodies, from a roadster and phaeton to sedan and taxi. Prices started at $ 460 in 1928.
It has been said about driving a Ford Model T that the driver should forget almost everything that they know about and are familiar with driving. For a driver sitting at the wheel of a Model T it is as if he is a driving novice. The only thing rather conventional about the setup for driving a Model T is the steering wheel. Not so with a Ford Model A. Anyone who can handle a standard manual transmission with proficiency need have no qualms about driving the Model A. The 3.3 liter engine's four cylinders provide strong torque at very low engine revs, so there is no need to work up on down the three speed transmission. When one does, the shift's silent simplicity will make you wonder why a vintage Bentley's "cogs" can be so difficult to master.
The Ford Model A can maintain a cruising speed of 50 miles and hour with top bursts to a maximum of 65 miles per hour. This is all the more amazing when one considers that the engine is a 40 horsepower 4 cylinder engine running at 2200 revolutions per minute (rpm).
The Model A was remarkable in that it set a new standard with high quality that provided a rugged , more than reliable and characterful motoring , in an economical fashion all in return for more than a sensible amount for purchase price of an automotive product of its time from the market leader of its day - The Ford Motor Company.
