Here are some pics of the replacement engine for my '86 Sherpa which I removed from an '84 Sherpa. Was supposed to have been rebuilt a few years ago. Attachments:

Hi! My name is Tom and I´m from Austria (a little country in europe) and today I´ve bought a Subaru Rex II 700, build in August 1984. I needs to be totally restored, the seats etc. are in good condition, but the body of the car is really rusty. The Rex is very rare in Austria, I rescued this one, it would have been on scrap after new year, if I wouldn´t have bought it. Now I´m looking for parts to restore it. Usually I have old car´s like Opel Kadett C, Rekord C... Attachments:

It is unlikely that you would see this car but there was atleast 1 other REX in Austria, classicsubarujusty.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=chatrex&action=display&thread=70Interesting that you also like the Opel Kadett, Here is the "B" that I just sold, Some of it I kept to help with my Opel GT project. Welcome to the Forum, Looking forward to hearing about and seeing more of your car or cars.

Hi! Another Opel-Fan? I also had an Kadett-B but sold it a few years ago. In your country the Kadett-B has the look of our Olympia-A (based on Kadett-B). The second Austrian Rex must be near to says the number plate, but I´ve never seen it. Here´s a picture of my Kadett-C Attachments:

That is a fine looking "C". Which of course is the model that begat the Chevrolet "Chevette". I believe the front windshield's will interchange! Anyway, we have an occasional member here who is a big fan of the 1st gen Justy that looks so much like the 700 series. He also has a Chevette which is VERY modified!! classicsubarujusty.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=otherrides&action=display&thread=79So tell us more about your REX/700 post in the REX section what parts or things you need help with?? P.S. is that a Jag "E" type in the background?

Yes it´s an E-Type, but it´s not my car... Nice Chevette. In Europe there was also an english Version of the Kadett C, called Vauxhall Chevette.

I have just bought another 2 Sherpas, 1 is an '83, not sure what the other is yet, but I think around the same vintage. The '83 is a green type colour with a replacement red bonnett & goes, also has a rear louvere. The other one is red with the optional rear seat, did go. There are 2 spare engines & a spare gearbox. Will be picking the cars up on Sunday 16/2/14. They where bought for the princely sum of $450. Here are some pics. www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/kentish-area/cars-vans-utes/1983-subaru-sherpa-sedan/1037685278

I'm envious, nice looking cars except for the Christmas color combination They have no rust or dents. 2 cars plus spares .. .. How can you go wrong. They are even fairly close, about 70 or 80 kms right? Sure beats working with that second gen you passed up. Post up pics of the rear seat when you get a chance, that sounds rare!
