Your fuse might look good but pull it and check the end caps are not loose. My experience.

Yeah I guess I cross generations .... I can tell you my brother made a cool swinger out of the pillar decor and put the old style key alarm switch in back. I had that Brat after him and it always caught people off guard when they saw it. Pardon the story. The glass you can use a 3/16 cord of any type and loop it around the inside flange , and have another person work the unit out from the bed. I've gotten them out by myself when they are old simply by moving the unit up and down and finding the sweet spot to just flex the inner flange and begin with a corner , carefully working to the opposite side then lift up.

Screws from inside. Don't waste them. Take your time and look.

Jesse , We'll talk ...... Sold to the man in the old wagon.

Atta boy !!!! Use it the way it was meant to be used. Right on !!! Love that blue glass againts the snow. Owning these cars and using them beyond later model other makes off road is the biggest treat bestowed upon us.Dollars per fun we've got 'em beat. Rockn roll , brother !!! Hey , I really want a rear bumper like you have. They are specific to the later 1977 and 1978 4WD wagon ONLY......they are a pain to find in even decent shape. Please , if you see one, just grab it and consider it covered if under $100 and if over just contact me and let me know the condition. My icon picture has been whacked by this new board so I need to rectify that. Otherwise you'd be seeing my beloved 1978 4WD Wagon - the Snow Shark - the little beast of Bridgeport. A mechanical hero and virtual wonder up here. Cheers !!!

Enter - the home depot 7/16 threaded rod .... Where's Ben when we need him ? LOL Seriously - TimeSerts work great too and you'll be able to use your stock exhaust studs for a long time without having to re-insert another helicoil. Plenty of solutions out there. Enjoy the battle.

Yes , same type as previous issue. Good luck !

I think the white plastic lever has a broken "pawl" where the link wire's loop end hangs. At least that's my best guess. Junkyard - or maybe someone here has a spare. I have the 70's type if it's the same but I don't think so. Good luck on it

"maybe some one restoring a ff-1 or whatever its called could use " Yeah I saw that but then he seems to have second thoughts ......

1300 parts can be found. What do you want to do with it if you can find parts? If you would actually use it the engine is very efficient and you can easily find the intake and carb from a few old school folks. ctsuba has used parts for 1300's including the 4 spd the mates up to it. dannybreadman on eBay has new old stock. He's here too as drivesubies . I also have some new engine internals buried away. Good luck. I know I want one for a future project.

'79 is the year for transition from points to e'tron. Maybe because yours is 4WD ? I'm still using points but threaten to swap often. Find them on eBay rebuilt and ready to drop in for around $50.

Don't be in a rush to set that front badge on. Looks great as is. My son turns 16 in a week or so. He wants my 78 wagon AND a Gen I Brat but that's the dream lol. Somebody will get the dimension you need soon. I'm unable to check mine right now, sorry.

Can't tell ya how many times I see one on eBay and say "ah, I'll get it another time." Thanks for the post. On my list NOW.

Its back !!!!

Tought to say from here but looks "bangable" for the radiator support. Pics looking down into the engine bay and/or of the front unibody "rails" would show more of the extent of the hit. It doesn't look bad to me if the fender didn't buckle up. So I'd say get stripping it and bang that radiator support back into shape. At least try. Good luck.
-
check your pedal box for a crack up the left side?
-
Try PRP , they were our supplier.
-
Outstanding ! Just built backwards. Lol Cheers!

Used to very popular to tow a brat or Gen I 4wd wagon. But that's decades ago up here. See you in the spring. Truck stop Milford. Exit 40. I'll be the guy in the old Subaru.

Drive on up to new England this fall. We'll treat you to a coffee at Dunkin Donuts. I really want to see an old brat behind a motorhome.
