Hello. WHS^^^^^ Might be an idea to say where you are, maybe someone local can advise you as well as look at your van.

you need to tell us which air cooled engine cu,cj ,ct ,1.6 l or 2.0l, whats up with the engine you have

Thanks guys,i thought no one was out there.i bought a restored t25 air cooled originally, 1981 reg .it came with a 2.5 non turbo subaru in a box with all the loom and keys ,ecu ,and heater.so as of now all i have is a great base to start on as its been welded,sprayed etc ,i just dont know what to do.i live just outside oxford.if anyone can suggest a company to fit the subaru near to me or someone to recon it ie belts and bits that would be a start.and thanks again guys for takeing the time to get back to me.the blokwe who sold it me is a vehicle technician and he sourced a whole subaru car with rot at the back end.i think he said it had done 60 to 70 thousand on the clock.he had it running at the breakers and then dismantled the engine,loom ecu and other bits needed.any advice
