  1. Thanks for the info, got lines of both sizes and it worked out great! Here is the final result
  2. My name is Torc ad I'm a new Subaru owner. Back in Feb, thanks to lay-offs, we had our van repoed and after loosing a few days of work due to snow storms my sup told me of a car he knew of that was for sale for $200. It ran and had 4WD and it was called a BRAT. That day after work I stopped by the place where it sat and took a brief look as it was getting late and decided to buy it. I went home and started researching what a BRAT was and immediately got hooked. This was the day I drove it home It's rusted to hel and back. Heat barely works, defrost is non-exsistant, the fuel tank leaks (currently in the works to be fixed) and I have since repainted it. Despite all that, I love to drive it! The sad part is that it is one of two known in the area and the other is out of my price range to by ATM. The body is beyond repair beyond pop riveting the worst spots. I'll drive it till it dies, salvage the engine and what good parts that are on it and then lay it to rest. Hopefully by then I can get the other one or another older Subi.
  3. I have a leaking fuel tank and decided to throw a tank in the back so I can drop the old tank and see if it can be repaired. What I need to know, hopefully by later today if possible, if the intake and return fuel lines are the same size or different. I am using an old Toyota tank and it shows the lines being one size and I remember there being mention of two different size lines when removing the tank but I no longer have access to the manual that mentioned it. Thank you
  4. That is a good question. Turns out that there is an issue with the head, either the gasket needs replaced or a cracked head but the owner isn't sure exactly what it is. He was told by the guy he bought it off of that the "head gasket seeps" He said it had over heating issues. It is sitting in a junk yard atm. I'm thinking $600 is a bit steep for something not running. I got my Brat for $200 and I drove it home. Opinions?
  5. If my Brat was in better shape I would be less likely to put the tank in the back but this poor thing is a rolling rust bucket that is beyond help really. I have located an 84 Wagon that the guy is asking $600 for. It runs and is in good shape. What rust there is can be cleaned up.
  6. Sanders is outside of Carrollton, about an hour south of Cincinnati and an hour North of Louisville. Thank you for the list of interchangeable vehicles, How many parts would swap?
  7. Ok, I need to know what other models of Subaru can interchange with my 81 brat. My main need is a fuel tank at the moment but knowing what I can pull from would be great for the future. Thanks
  8. Here is both an unusual situation and question. The situation is this. I bought a 81 Brat for $200 that I use to get back and forth to work. It's in rough shape but I love driving it. Shortly after I got it I found that there is a leak in the fuel tank somewhere in the upper part of the tank. Here soon I'll be dropping the tank to see if it can be repaired. If it cannot that leaves me with a problem. Tanks are near impossible to find. So this has lead to the idea of finding a tank from something else and mounting it in the back. I don't plan on using the jump seats so I have a perfect spot for it with frame mounted bolting spots. Has anyone else had the same situation or done what I have in mind?
