That is awesome! Thanks!

It needs paint very bad. I was kinda vague on my description above. I want it to look similar like that of the model - I will paint it WRB, but i'd like to find a set of the spoked wheels from the mid 80's GL's and paint them gold. I'd love to fit a set of version 7 STi wheels under it but a 5x100 setup on a 1st gen brat looks nearly impossible without extensive work (wish there were adapters). I may add a wrx scoop but probably not... We'll see. I just want it to look nice since the drivetrain is solid and will stay pretty stock.

Beautiful car! I'd kill for those seats

Thanks guys. I'll get some pics posted soon. Miller - I saw those parts but nothing I need. Too bad he doesn't have strut tops or a tranny mount...

Hi, i'm new to USMB but not to Subaru. I've had a couple WRX's including a 2002 WRB sedan with a full STi swap running methanol. Anyway, I just aquired a 1978 Brat Dl with no cancer that runs and drives excellent - it'll cruize at 70 all day long. It hadn't been licensed since 2006 or 2007 but it went right through Oregon DEQ (the tech was amazed). Anyway, it has a few little dents but i'm hoping to do the bodywork and paint it WRB soon - the idea is to make it look something like the model in this link: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=540081 I'm local to the Portland Oregon area and it looks like there are a lot of USMB users with older subies around here - I look forward to meeting you guys. -Tim Here's a pic of my bro driving with Cmiller in the passenger seat:
