edrach Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Looking for the past owner of a powder blue '78 Brat which is now in the Lynnwood Pull a Part. Has a canopy and a rectangular white board with the number 50 on it. It was lifted and I suspect someone knows who might have owned it before....maybe Jason? Lots of parts in the back bed as well as an open 3.900 rear diff. Tailgate is pretty good for one that age although it'll be a trick to get it off. Other than that, it looked pretty rough. I pulled the diff that was on it; it's either an LSD:) or a welded rear. In either case, it's saved from the crusher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrinx Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Isn't that jason's? the one who busted out the rear DOJ a couple times at evans creek? I dont know his last name. The 50 was on the side covering body rot...? Kurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 Kurt, I think you're correct. You're the 2nd person who mentioned Jason. Too bad he's not on the Board anymore and I don't have his number in Aberdeen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 If anyone was planning to lift a gen1 Brat, this is the car to get. Some really good pieces there to salvage and they'd go for a song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezapar Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Jason designed, built, and installed the 4-5 inch lift in one weekend. Including a d/r tranny swap. That thing did well, but he really has a heavy foot and upper 311 is about as gnarly as trails get at EC. He did break a lot of axles, but the lift held together, but I think the rear suspension punched thru wheel wells. He drove it 75 miles+ home from there with straps holding it all in place. Jason was the original Miles Fox. He lost interest and began to build his 99 forerunner. It's something else these days, pretty huge. He lives in Forks, WA now.

edrach Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 Someone was obviously interested in the d/r tranny; as of today it's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Dan, Ben and I grabed most of the rear of the lift and also the shifters and the extended steering shaft. Finally got the vent nubbin Ben was missing too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted July 17, 2004 Author Share Posted July 17, 2004 Good find; I'm glad it went to someone who's willing to use it. Certainly a waste if it went to the crusher. Know anyone who'll make me a good offer on the welded diff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Dan might be looking for a welded diff. Ben might want to get a front section made for his brat, but for now, the stuff will sit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
