JuhaKankkunen Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 …..18 years looking for a Brat in Argentina……i found this one in the countryside, 2 owners, 129000Km on it……I'm really happy!!!! Just put the key on it, and start running, almost 2 years of no use at all. Pre owner put a new battery, and that's all!!! We drove it home for 600 km without any problems!

Subasaurus Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 wow thats the first dashboard i have ever seen thats not cracked, the dashboard alone is probably the most valuable part in that brat lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagonist Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 NICE!!! As others have said, protect the dashboard, it's when its outside being used that it gets it's sun. You used to be able to buy dashmats here that were moulded to suit, but passenger airbags have killed that industry (plus better quality plastic, etc).

moosens Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 It took 18 years to find. I hope he enjoys it in its natural state forever if not at least for a long while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subasaurus Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Can't get over that dash!!! yeah its insane, it really is... sadly that seems to be rarer than seeing a subaru 360 on the highway today.

JuhaKankkunen Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 NICE!! Any plans for upgrades? Some little paint job in front fenders only, i want to conserve original factory paint as it has now. I'll put original 8 white spokes wheel set and thats all!

l75eya Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 In the middle picture of the first post, it's clearly there. Can't see it in the later ones though. I wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Martin , we think alike working our vintage vehicles. But I'm a bit surprised at the load you have and I'm not seeing any protection for trim and your rear slider. Are you just going to use it for a while then restore? Just curious. If a lot of us here waited 18 years and found the baby you did I think most of us would be very conservative with it. But power to you man! Enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work doing irrigation systems and lawn care. I'm not going to use it for hard work. The pic you see, i did some wood for my fireplace at home, and i loaded the wood careful, i did it myself!!! I've been looooooooong time looking for her, so don't worry i'll be very careful!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
