Guest Flowmastered87GL Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I finally brought my BRAT home today. The alternator is toast so I had to run the engine at whatever RPM's kept the voltmeter at a happy level, but other than that it made it home perfectly. First on the list is a trip to autozone for a new alternator. Then the fun starts :evil: I will update the thread as things progress on it Question... on the passenger side (82 BRAT) what is supposed to be above the door and below the T top? I have a coat hook in the front hole and an empty back hole. Is there supposed to be an "oh Sh__" handle there instead of the hook and empty hole?

Guest Turbone Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I believe the Brats had a strap instead of a handle. Have you decided where your going to for the body parts? Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flowmastered87GL Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 not yet, give me a day or 2 to look over the body. I am busy cleaing the apartment for a guest right now so I cant do it yet. I will probably come up to you as its a simpler trip than Yakima area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jon61484 Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 you know... you're going to need to do a sweet exhaust system if you can. dual with a crossover pipe... if you don't need it legal, you can do a straight back to some nice mufflers or something.

Guest jcdenton Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 a brat is a fine choice, here is my brat page, on the second page there are some pics of how I am fixing the rust. P.S. it is a strap. <a href="http://members.cardomain.com/bratboy" target="top">bratboy's brat</a> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flowmastered87GL Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 I really dont care about custom exhaust... I plan to sell the brat on NASIOC.com unless I totally fall in love with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest northguy Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 I'm not sure what goes in the holes on your 82, but my 83 has a strap and a bracket to rest in in when not in use. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flowmastered87GL Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Ahhhhh ya that does help.... I bet the empty hole is where the strap would go and the "coat hook" is the hook the loop goes over so it doesnt hang down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flowmastered87GL Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 The gas guage was acting funny today, It was reading darn near full (I only put $5 in the brat since I bought it) however it turned out the Brat only took $6 of gas to fill up. So apparently the gas guage is finally being honest and had been lying about being empty when I first picked it up. Maybe the fuel just had to slosh around in the tank to make the sender be honest or something. (It had sat for a while, running it around every day, or every other day is making it run so much nicer) On another note, the old rubber winshield seal was toast so I had a new one installed $45 for the part $50 for labor. I am SOOO happy they didnt break the glass as its flawless :cool: I did have to run to U-Pull-It really quick and grab the missing chrome strips for it. But its all installed now and finally should be sealed Now when is my lift gonna get here? (My parents are supposed to call me) <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/ohwell.gif ALT=":\"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
