Hey, gadberry,
I spotted your ride in the 2010 lifted soob thread, and realized you're in my neck of the woods (I live just north of the Missouri line; 'bout 25 miles north of Pea Ridge). I like what you've done with your rig. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a good foundation for a project...
There's a '78 BRAT (with an '80 parts car) for sale on Craigslist for $500; I emailed the guy, but haven't heard back from him. *shrug* Easy come, easy go, I guess.
Anyway, mostly just wanted to say, "Howdy, neighbor!"

I know this isn't strictly within the guidelines for this forum, but this seems to me the best place to ask if anyone's seen, done or heard of swapping a VW TDI into a Brat? I'm thinking loads of torque, great fuel mileage for what would be a daily driver, lots of aftermarket support… but maybe a giant pain in the rear to get engine, tranny and transfer case (which is a must) all mated together, then lots of tweaked half-shafts... Whaddya think? More trouble than it's worth? Are there better routes to getting a 30 mpg lifted commandocommuter BRAT?

Did you put the propane bits together yourself, or did you buy a "kit"? I'd like a little more info on that part of your conversion, plz! BTW, props on the project. Sounds cool.
