thanks a ton! I'm looking for some way to repop something....

Thanks! I am talking about the flat discs above and below the ends of the mustache bar.

Can anybody point me to a reliable source for 1979 BRAT mustache bar bushings? Thank you!

I have considered it. The tires on it now, I put on it, in 2005. Being they're over 10 years old now, no tire shop will touch them. I have the steel rims that were on it when I bought it, but I like the look of the Jackman's better. I had both sets sandblasted and powder coated, so they both look like new.

I agree, it does! I still like mine better than the $46K brown one!

As Moosens said..... I'll let it be. I have a serious problem believing the ODO though. My BRAT is in similar shape, WITH the decals (spent it's life in the garage of a 60-90 year old before I purchased it in 2005). Mine has original carpet in back, jump seat belts are just as nice, headrests are WAY nicer, mine has original plaid seats (which that one should, being a GL) mine has original mini york AC compressor, without hose clamps etc. Ok, I guess I'm not letting it be......... I am ecstatic about the price though!!

I looked up the part number for a 4 blade radiator fan, found one online, and now have it at my house. Not to say that you could do that with every part, but it is VERY valuable for taking things apart, and putting back together. There is an exploded view of every single piece on the thing. I have a Subaru 360 pickup in the middle of a frame off restoration right now, and I have a parts manual for that as well, and use it ALL THE TIME.

I have the 1979 parts manual already scanned on my computer.

I have a factory parts manual in PDF form. If you send me your email in a PM, I can try to email it to you. For what it's worth, you can still find parts if you really scour. I just bought a factory original, NOS 4 blade fan for my 79 BRAT. It came out of the UK, but the parts are out there.

Thanks! It's far from perfect, but it is all original paint! It does need just a few little things, but it's a time capsule. The thing spent it's entire life in a garage in NH until I bought it 12 years ago. The previous owner kept every service record (including date and mileage) on the back of bank deposit slips.

My brother took the BRAT to a car show yesterday, it was a hit, to say the least! http://forestersg6.lansingautoenthusiast.com/2017/10/car-spotlight-1979-subaru-brat.html?m=1

If the shifter knob is wood, with enameled numbers, I am interested. Please let me know. What condition are the front fenders in? I would possibly be interested in those as well. Also, hood prop rod, and clip that holds hood prop rod. I can't think of anything else. Thanks, Jon

The way the filter elements were installed, you are only pulling air through the bottom one aren't you?

Need to get them off the dirt, before they turn to dust. I bought a van for parts years ago and not much was good from sitting on the ground (covered in a tarp, holding in the moisture)!

I've got a 69 360 pickup and it gets about 35-40 realistically. I do treat the gas pedal as an "on /'off" switch though!
