Interested in the heater box linkage that operates the heater control valve (or the whole heater box assembly if that is easier) and the shelf that sits below the glove box. Thanks. elukas2003@yahoo.com

Earl: I just ordered a Gen 2 Tailgate decal and a set of single color Gen 2 Targa Stripes. Just to confirm, I'd like the stripes in red. I have a white '85 BRAT with blue interior so I assume that red is the correct factory color for the stripes. Thanks for some great stuff and bonus bump for your thread. Thanks, Erik.

OK, cool. I should be up on Sunday as long as the weather holds up.

Is everybody sticking around through Sunday or are you all heading out Saturday night?

I'm in for Sat. I'll be driving up in the blue '79 Brat that I displayed last year. I'd love to see some other pre 1980 Subarus if they're out there.

Paul: I just pressed a new bearing into the plastic fan on my '79. It's been making some noise since the Carisle show. New bearings and C-clips are still available from Subaru.

Hey everybody, Erik with the blue '79 BRAT here... I wanted to say that it was good to meet a bunch of you and see your rides. I'm not sure what incident went down, but I hope everything can be worked out. Carlisle seems to be about the best place in the PA, NY, NJ, DE, MD area to see some unique old imports and it would be a shame if bunch of you decided not to return next year.

I have a pair of these lenses. $15 for 1 or $25 for the pair + shipping. you can email me directly @ elukas2003@yahoo.com if you are interested. Thanks.

I actually have an original accessory winch on my '79. Somebody painted it silver at some point, but it is still yellow underneath. What I've been trying to figure out was how it was supposed to be wired. Seeing the picture in this thread leads me to believe that there was a remote control that was part of the kit. My BRAT has power cables running into the interior with a rotating switch mounted under the radio consol. I don't believe this is the correct configuration. PM me your email, and I can send you some pix if you like.

I will try to get one from NAPA. Thanks for doing this research for everyone. You rock.

Thanks Todd. Somehow I figured that you would know!

Does anybody have advice on finding interior vinyl paint that matches the blue interiors on Gen 1 BRATs? I realize that there is a whole spectrum of blues in those interiors, but I'm looking specifically for something close to the original dash pad and steering wheel color. So far I've tried Duplicolor "Medium Blue" and it has a bit too much white in it. Has anybody had success with Plastikote or SEM?

Why did you stop going? Too far of a drive, or bad vibe?

I plan to take my '79 BRAT to the Carlisle Import-Kit/Replicar Nationals May 15 - May 17, 2009 in Carisle, PA. The 2008 show had a small group of Subaru owners in attendance. Anybody else interested in meeting up there? Please keep us updated if they have another All Japanese show in NJ, and I'll be there. Erik

I think that the gallery is disabled now that the board is back up. How do you paste pictures into a post if they do not have a URL?

I bought the BRAT and 4 Wheel Drive tailgate decals and I'm very satisfied with them. As long as your BRAT doesn't have to be 100% showroom original, the decals are a great solution to a common problem. Nice work.

Thanks for the welcome and the help! I've already replaced the tune up parts with all NOS stuff except for the plug wires (got those from NAPA).

I uploaded some pix of my BRAT onto the photo gallery that can be accessed under my profile inthe upper right corner.

My name is Erik and I reside in the Philadelphia area. I recently purchased a nice '79 BRAT from an older gentleman down south and had it shipped home. Are there any other Gen 1 owners in my area? The car is a DL with blue exterior and blue interior. It has several original accessories: winch & bumper, sliding rear window, hitch, and A/C. The body was redone several years ago so my main focus is exterior trim parts and a full interior resto. I'll post some pictures if somebody can give me some instructions on how. Here's a tip that some of you may find useful. The original inside door handle bezels that turn to dust can be replaced with new bezels from early '80s Brats and GLs for about $25. A cooperative Subaru dealer would be able to order these dark blue part numbers: 760123210 right, and 760123220 left. You'll need to drill and tap a new hole for the mounting screw, but they look very original once installed.
