LeahDarling Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hello! I just purchased my first Subaru! A 1979 BRAT. Love it so far, but am learning that keeping her going and making her look good are going to be a serious labor of love. Any advice/helpful tips are welcome! Thanks! ~LD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BratWarrior Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 My advice is to make really good friends with GeneralDisorder (a mega-poster on this board). He has been my mentor since buying my BRAT and discovering USMB. His shop is in Weat Linn and he knows EVERYTHING. A really great guy too. Discount Import Parts in Milwaukie is a great place for parts and Lithia Subaru in Oregon City is your friend. USMB will pretty much be your new religion.

AKghandi Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 buy a welder for the rust and also get 2 new front c/vs and 2 new rear shocks.(these cars always need those) change the oil and enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
