What's an '86 BRAT worth?
wow there are rust free brats that still exist???? i am so abused in new hampshire. i have my complete rear out. tank,torsion tube,shocks,. now i welding in new right frame rail. properly welded and repaired will be as good as new. sure they rust but all can be repaired. you just have to work at it. it would be grreat to have rust frees at my end of the world. i do have 2 brats with about 110,000 miles, very little rust, but still had rust repairs to do

i dont remeber why....
i have a 6" lift, although i had to replace hard line from inside the cab back, due to rust out .i ran it to origanal placement. i then got longer rubber flex hose. i believe a wagner part. i took a measure ment went to a good parts store. looked inthe back of the brake book. found a longer hose with the right metric ends. looks factory, and professionally done.

90's sheetmatal on brat
well my winter project is to put a newer subaru hood,fenders, nose on my next brat. looking to update nose and make it low, with ground effects, 14 or 15 wheels. most likely going with a six lug hub conversion. so the question is what year has anyone tried before? i like the rs rally look. need to go junk yard shopping in next few weeks. any ideas?

brat strut mount
why do these only last 2 years? the rubber seperates and when i jack my car up the strut falls down. i have same problem with subaru ones or aftermarket. so its inspection time and need to fix. should i remove the rubber and weld the plate into the mount. then i wouldnt have the rubber isolation but thats ok. just dont want to spend 150 again. is there a better mount or one to retrofit onto 84 brat strut/ with 6 inch lift
