newsoobdude Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Been on the board for a while but don't get to visit as often anymore but wanted to show pics of my newest treasure I found. Unsure of the year as of now as I have not gotten it open yet nor have I gotten any info from the old owner. Will be bringing it home soon and will update then. Anyone interested in the topper? Not planning on keeping it and is located zip 95245/6/9 (I live at the corner of 3 towns ). Plans include EA81 with Torquer Cam + SPFI, 4spd D/r, 4 inch lift, OEM Brush guard and High roll bar. Now for pics- This will make 7 Subies and 2 BRATs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Quixpunch Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Sexy! I really hate all you West Coast guys and the rust free Subies you find. I have an 81 GL Brat and it's got almost as much rust as steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an 81 GL Brat and it's got almost as much rust as steel. Only in the Northern West Coast -- "The Beast I Drive" has more Brats on his farm than there are in all of San Diego county!

TheSubaruJunkie Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Hey man this is awesome! Bill seems to have figured out how to lift these, would be way cool to see this one sitting higher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Quixpunch Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 If you're going for an EA81 and a transaxle swap anyway, why not go for the d/r 5 speed instead of the 4 speed. I've got the d/r 4 speed and I'm counting the days until I get a real trans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruPartsGirl Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 What a great find, and great color! Here on the east coast it would be a beautiful rust color by now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsoobdude Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 If you're going for an EA81 and a transaxle swap anyway, why not go for the d/r 5 speed instead of the 4 speed. I've got the d/r 4 speed and I'm counting the days until I get a real trans. That I am debating on. I have a "spare" D/r 5spd that I'm unsure as to what I will use it for. Only reason I'd keep the 4spd would be the fact that I want it more or less OEM pre '85, but the 5spd is growing more and more. Brian, I still have that a bar off my Gen 2 and I am willing to sell if you are still interested. Still need to finish that one up . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 That is a pretty good looking Brat, are you gonna keep it that same shade of craptastic green? And yes, I do lifts for these, in 4", 6", or 8" flavors -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffanyus Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Im interested in the gen1 brat pushbar if your looking to sell it. please let me know. Thanks, Tommy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsoobdude Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 Finally got the year, it's an 81. Stil waiting for the pick up date though. Will be getting rid of the push bar as I have the OEM Subie Grille Guard/ Bumper for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffanyus Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Wow 81 brat is a nice score. Gen1 brat style with a 1.8L engine. BTW I already found a Pushbar for mine but Im sure someone else here would be interested. Please dont forget more pics when you have some.

newsoobdude Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 I wont forget about ya'll with the Pushbar don't worry, and as a side note, I have 2 now as the Brushguard I was getting turned out to be another Pushbar :mad. And as I will be lifting this one I'll be selling both more than likely at the end of summer. I'll post it here in the classified section with a note in here.
