Wow...looks good!

Great info...thanks guys!

Are there any other chrome bumpers from any other years/body styles that will fit on an 82 Brat? Mine has a dent right in the middle. I like the look of the chrome bumper and I'm looking for a replacement.

There was a Brat that sold on eBay recently that had 340,000 miles. I ran the VIN on Carfax, and it confirmed the mileage. That is the most miles I have ever heard of on a Gen 2 Brat. My goal is to break 340,000 miles with my Brat...only 208,001 miles to go!!

It will show up sooner or later. I'm the manager of Loss/Prevention (Security) for a major retailer here in Spokane and I've had to deal with a few vehicle thefts from our parking lot. The police say that "wanna be gang-bangers" or meth heads will usually use the cars to commit other crimes or just use for transportation until it runs out of gas...then they ditch it. Unfortunately, when it shows up, it will probably have the stereo ripped out along with a bunch of trash all over the place.

Jonas, looks very nice. How many miles do you have on that thing now? Are you looking to sell it anytime soon?

"Forget about it!!...." (line from the movie).

I want one of these...Northguy, did you get any more info from Jerry?

I guess now it's considered an older car, but my 1995 Subaru Outback had the hill holder.

I just PM'd you his business phone number...

So....which one would you recommend for an EA81 wagon? The DGV (manual choke) or the DGEV (electric choke)? I'm looking to buy one (new) and I'm not sure which one to get, and where to get it from...

Thanks guys for the replies. Caleb, on my 84 GL wagon, I started stripping the bolt with a 21mm brand new wrench. I remember using the 21mm on my 82 Brat and it worked fine. I'll try the 13/16 and see if that is a tighter fit.

I thought the 82 Brat had the single headlight system...at least my 82 did.

My account is now expired. There might be someone else on the board with an open account.

Maroon, Carfax keeps saying that the VIN # you are supplying is invalid. By any chance, is the car that this VIN belongs to older than an '81? If it is, then it won't be in the Carfax database. Derek

Tomrhere, both of the VIN #'s you supplied are invalid. You might have confused a letter or digit. I think on the second one, you might have confused a "B" for an "8". My account ends tomorrow so let me know tonight. Derek

Hey guys, I don't mind doing this as a favor, but I ask that you please post your email address on the thread...it makes it alot easier for me. Hush777, I just forwarded your reports. Wagonsonly, I need your email address...Maroon, I also need your email address. Derek

I just got back (Sunday night) from having my car towed to a shop. I was driving my 84 GL wagon to the gas station, and as I started to accelerate from a light, my car died. As I was trying to start it again, the car backfired! It sounded like an M80 going off. I then had to push the car to the side. I tried to start it again, and AGAIN it backfired! This time even louder! A guy down the street ran to my car telling me that I probably blew my engine up. I don't think I did, but I did blow the seam heck out of my muffler. GD, maybe I can stop by sometime and you can show me how to do that quarter trick. Derek

I keep clicking on the "new thread" button instead of the "post reply" button. Sorry for all the unnecessary new threads. How can I delete them?

I've forwarded everyone a report that left their email address for me. 86subaru, I just PM'd you for your email address. N8NQU, I sent you the report earlier today, and I just resent it to you to bam@glis.net. Hope I helped.

So far everyone that has asked for a carfax report should have received the forwarded report from me. Let me know if you haven't. Derek

Richie, Let's talk when you get back to town. I need you to give my new wagon car a look over. Derek P.S. GD, let me wait to see if I can get the one from Richie since I know it is the same color as my interior. I'll let you know.

GD, With radio would be cool! You're here in Portland right so that makes it easy. PM me your price and we can figure out a day to meet. Derek

GD, I need the center console that the stereo goes in for a 4WD '84 wagon. That would be so cool if you have something... I will forward the carfax reports shortly.

Nice car! That's exactly what I have been looking for. I just bought an immaculate 84 GL wagon 4x4, but there's just something about those Gen 1 wagons that looks so cool!
