My tailgate is dented up a bit it could be repaired... my rear bumper those two little tit like bumpers that stick out of the bumper rusted off ,,well one came off so i pulled the other off i saved them but cant find them now... this brat is totally original 60,000 miles white with blue interior.. hanks Victor in rhode island

ive been reading searching old posts i am hoping the O ring water pump thing. Ive noticed losing coolant and saw steam today .. oil looks good exhaust looks good car runs and sounds great... This brat is nice only 60,000 on it... i was told i need a oil pan gasket so it looks like stuff is starting to go... I think i should have this thing up dated.. Like new hoses, belts, radiator flush what are the etc..... What should i have done while im having a bunch of stuff done ..timing belt????? water pump if not just the O -ring You guys got a list of things i should have replaced or looked at i dont want to start replacing some little thing every month now... This brat is great i want to keep it that way... Thank you I guess i will look for a subaru dealership thats been around and has a mechanic thats been working there for 25 years...

Raining out today but i will can manage those tasks thank you so much

I am a recent cancer survivor . so im not set up right now with time energy and tools... to do it myself.. EGR light came on it ddidnt seem to be driving any different , i dont drive it much 100 miles a week maybe... then ECS light came on last week .. I was also told at oil change i have a leaky oil pan gasket and need a new air cleaner i just got them from pepboys .. But i might as well have everything fixed and checked out .. Am i better off finding a subaru mechanic or what if anyone knows a place in the Rhode Island . Southern Massachucetts, Eastern Conn. area i could take it to would be great.. Or should i find a subaru dealer would they even know about an old brat... Thanks Its a 1985 brat with only 60,000 i got it with 52,000 on it.. Its been great so far .. Thanks

just saw the peak in the attic red and white brat its and gen 1 mine is 1985 but same color scheme

Thanks guys i want a high bar but that one looks about 2 or 3 inchs too tall to fit under my topper ..wanna be able to use both but i almost never use my topper in the summer and just put it on and take it off once a year so maybe i will just get the ready made one .. I will call about a custom size. And i want them in red. I saw a picture of a white in the subaru headquarters or some wear of a white with red trim had a cool looking spoiler for above the cab also.. Gotta go look for that picture... Thanks guys

Ive got a 1985 brat if i cant find any to buy .. then i will have to find a place to build and paint me up a nice red roll bar and A bar so pictures would help me i can figure our measurements i will need ... My topper raises up so i can have one a few tinces taller than my cab.

thank oy everyone lostbrat is driving down to work near me this week and bringing me one. Again thank you all

east greenich is in rhode island at least i wont make that mistake again ive always said the secret to my happiness was never making the same mistake Althou i have made the same mistakes over again but they usually involved relitives or women

t top flew off today was demonstating t tops last night jumped in took off today it wasnt latched up . Luckey nobody right behind me it was on the highway. Its my daily driver so i need one fast. Its for blue interior 1985 brat I dont care if the latch color doesnt match it would be nice thou.

thanks Dominical im on it.

id like to get original or better replacement ones for my brat its coming with just lap belts that he said werent original. does anyone have a pic of what the originals are like? Are they just lap belts ? I probibly want a nice harness looking set up anyway. Anyone got suggestions for getting some nice ones for the jump seats. How about padding for them?

Doubt i will find ones for sale so i guess i have to find a welding shop to make them. I have the high top topper . Anyone had ones made before? what are your guesses at what they will cost? Im not gonna go 4 wheeling in this brat its mostly for looks this brat only has 53000 on it. I added some more pics http://s655.photobucket.com/albums/uu276/victor53/

been looking for a month got luckey i guess paid good money and it cost me 1100 to ship

http://s655.photobucket.com/albums/uu276/victor53/ the other car is my 1959 studebaker silverhawk with ony 25000 mies on it

Why cant i attach pics am i too new a member

1985 has AC ,only 53000 miles, I need and A bar and a roll bar that will fit under topper i havent seen a topper with 2 windows on the side before

Does the AC blow cold ,whats the miles 16000 or 116000, Whats your price?

Gonna buy one from british columbia only 53000 miles 1985 manual shift AC and has the high double window topper. gotta ship it to rhode island . I want to get one of those A bars and a roll bar. I will have to find the bratman in waldoboro maine . My family has a camp in Denmark Maine

still looking for a low mileage sweet needs nothing brat. Has to be manual shift then i need airconditining

Its got 150000 on it and no AC so far the one for 4950 in San Marcos with 92000 is tops on my list and the only one really. Add the shipping from cal to rhode island and its a bit much. Im not in too much of a rush. It was 55 here today and i took out my 1959 studebaker silverhawk. I only want another vehicle so i can teach my wife to drive a standard. I figure might as well make it a vehicle that is functional year round up here in new england and collectible if i dont use it much or i want to spiff it up and then decide to get rid of it . It wont depriciate. I also live in Costa Rica but im stuck here most of the time for the next 8 months. My vehicles in costa rica are 4 legged or 4x4 with manual shift. My wife just got her licence here a few months ago. So i got to teach her to drive a stick. Shes a good driver she wont tear it up too bad

the one in san marcos cal is still for sale for 4950 manual with AC and a cap says leather seats only one pic says 92000 or so miles. Cost of shipping it to rhode island i why im not rushing to buy it, I deffinatly have to have a manual shift andthe other vehicles with over a 150000 tend to scare me off.

thanks for allofcraigslist and thanks for the lift info i have to have ac so looks like no lift.

Not the orange harley looking one. I want a manual ,gen 2 , with ac, i guess i can add roll bars, brush guard . jump seats and camper shell. An get it lifted. That one in tuson for 2500 sounds ok but has 150000 on it and says the interior is rough I think i will be paying 4 to 10 thousand for a clean rust free low milage or really well rebuilt one. I just finished throat cancer treatment so im not into doing any work. I do the craigslist search on google but not all seem to come up. I am in rhode island most of the time now while im recovering. I will check here and ebay and try to search craigslist you guys have craigslist listings on here that i havent seen. Thank you
