Chaos Fluffy

Sorry for the long time getting to the update. Had a lot of other things come up and forgot to post about it. Anyways, IT WORKS! Pretty well, considering the model, too. My dad gave one shot at trying to solder it, but that didn't work. After that we got the Permatex kit for the job. It took us a couple of times to get it right, as when we got it on the first time all it took was a slight tap to make it come off. But that was before the epoxy set, and it made it a bit more of a pain to get it back up and set again. Still, once we got it set finally, give it 4 hours to harden, and then we took what was left of the Permatex epoxy and mixed it with some J.B. Weld Minute-Weld. We put that mixture over the top of the tab to make it more secure. But it's working really good now. Roughly takes about 5-10 minutes to clear the back window, and I'm not seeing any signs of breaks in the grid lines on the window itself. So I'm really lucky there. lol Now we'll have to see how the extreme heat of Mobile, AL will take it's toll on the connect when it's not in use come August. So with that, thank you guys for all the help!

Thanks guys. I'll look into the Permatex 21351. Both my dad and I are good solders, though he has some experience soldering to a window and I don't (I mostly deal with soldering wires and old aircraft cannon plugs/connectors. He deals with circuit boards, wires, connectors, etc; just not everyday.). Like I said before, he's not comfortable with attempting to solder, and neither am I. But the I'll be sure to post if we get it working and how.

Okay I've recently picked up a 1992 Subaru SVX LS-L in rough shape. We've (My father and I) already put a lot of work into it to get it back into a good condition, but it runs and has a clean title in my name. =D But we've run into and issue with the rear window. The wires and spade tab that connect to the opposing tab on the rear glass is broken off; the tab is in one piece, but we're not sure how best to reattach the tab. I'm thinking of using solder, but my dad ensures me that we won't be able to get the solder to work well enough to adhere both ends together. Does anyone have an idea of how to repair this? I can provide pics later on if need be. And I'd really like to get this fixed before we put the headliner in.

I had my '86 BRAT running with a stock exhaust and hollowed out cat for a while, but there were some leaks in it and it was rusted out bad. Took it to a local muffler shop after my dad got a dual exhaust for his '91 Dodge Ram with a 318. We told them to go from the cat back and replace it all, but they cut off the cat too and didn't even put in a new cat. It's quite as hell though.

Damn and I though mine was bad. Shifting into 3rd and 4th is like shifting into 5th and 6th on any other vehicle, on mine. Still didn't have to remove the centerpiece in order to shift.

Hey, I've got the same issue with my Brat. It's a '86, though. Plus trying to 3rd and 4th are wide out, so it feel like I'd be going into 5th and 6th. Will any of this work for me too, or so there something else completely wrong with mine?

About time. I've been waiting to hear those words.

Hey, Just though of what I need. How's the Hood Latch assemblies? I need the catch, stricker, all of it. And the Hood Latch cable too.

Cool, cool. If I think of anything my brat needs, I'll try to let you know before it's too late. If it becomes too late, oh well.

Strip it clean of everything that's not damaged, or majorly rusted (Internally and Externally). Even if you can't use it on your vehicles, you can sell to someone with a Gen 2 Brat, and make money. Or trade for stuff that will work with your vehicles. FYI, I would not put those wheels on the XT. The XT has some better looking wheels, and if you wanted (IMO) the best looking ones, I'd suggest trying to make it a 5-lug, so that the XT6 rims would fit on it.

Give me two, I might go for three. ---Post Edit--- I'll take Large.
