I Bought this Brat two or three months ago and have been getting tons of ideas from USMB but have yet to post anything until now. Selling my doofy camry should allow me to buy some parts that I "need". This brat is the fourth car I'v owned this lifetime but it feels like my first. I'm living in colorado but will soon be making the trip east to michigan with this brat

Sweet BRAT. I'd love to be doing a trip like that in the old beast. Are you moving to MI then? Seems like more old school subies are finding their way here. I'm crossing the bridge quite frequently here, but I'll bet a BRAT hasn't made that crossing in quite some time.

I can't wait to get rolling
Ill be seeing the bridge before christmas assuming I make it. I'm making a bit of progress on the brat preparing it for the trip home. I replaced the motor/transmission mounts and CV joints with my neighbor in September and then took it to the local imports mechanic and had him inspect all of the other wheel components. He said all of the ball joints and wheel bearings were looking fine so i decided to get an alignment done and balance the wheels which helped me feel more comfortable going above 45 MPH. I made a trip to Denver to pick up a SNUG-top and just got around to gluing on the rubber last night, I hope Silicone was the right choice. If anyone has any suggestions on things to keep my eye on while I drive 1,500 miles, or things to check out before I get on the road please talk to me! I'm definitely a noobie:headbang: http://www.ultimates...ad.php?t=136882
Gen 1 pillar covers. Not sure if he still has.
It looks like they have probably been claimed by someone. I dont want to be a nag about it but maybe I'll PM him. Thanks for the link

WOO how/where can I go to keep up on your '80 project? I'm trying check out as many projects as possible to get ideas for mine. I'm living in Salida but only for a couple more weeks.

Being a beginner on a budget the progress on this car will be slow. I figured that by making a little post on USMB I would motivate myself to keep things moving forward. Thanks for your intrest everyone!

Looks like a nice Brat you have there, I've actually got a seat with that pattern in storage. Can't remember right now if its drivers or passengers.
