Looks great, I have the same stripes to put on my two Brats! What method did you use to apply them? Thanks

I need a hazard light pull button and screw on the steering column. Also need a front valance but it looks like it is gone. If you end up scraping it and want to cut sections out of the rear quarters I could use some pieces. I like the roll bar also if it isn't to big to ship, it breaks into 3 pieces.

Also is the engine and transmission still in it?

Do you know if the doors are interchangeable with first generation Brats? How much for both fronts?

Could use some help identifying an NOS gas tank and y-pipe I got with a bunch of old Subaru parts.

This is a real project. I think I might remove the dashboard when I do it next time. Be sure the core is leaking and not just the valve on the side. Also I had a hard time finding the right heater core for my 1980 brat. 1979 might be better. Doug

Did you buy it? I'll buy the front hub if you have a pair of them, and they aren't stripped!

I used a Tartan kilt woolen fabric for an insert (seat on the left) it worked great, had a backer installed on it and really scotch guarded it a lot. Was as close as I could come to original. http://www.thescottishweaver.com

Finally found a Governor gear Christmas Eve, put it in today! Car seems to run like a champ so far! Really smooth shifting.

Pulled my Governor gear out and it is in shot. I have looked and called around and can't locate one. Any suggestions? Anyone have a new or used one they can part with? The following just sold On Ebay but I missed it.

My 79 DL was running really rich, it was like my foot was to the floor. Ended up replacing the carburetor base gasket and everything is great!! Which governor gear did you end up using? I pulled mine today and it's toast. I can't find a replacement anywhere.

Did you figure out your Transmission problem? I'm having the same issue?

What have you found? Did you get a gear in? I have a 1979 Front Wheel Drive, I'm getting first and second gear, but that is it. Where would I find the govener gear located?

After working on it for a bit I decided to just remove the Carberator. It was caked with greasy sludge around the base and really heavy on the linkages. I cleaned it all with carb cleaner, scrubbed everything, added a new base gasket. Now it seems to run like a champ. Now I have to work on the front caliper, they seem stuck from sitting a year!

Leeroy, I'll check that, but probably not, no real work has been done on this car in years, it was truly a little old ladies car who's father bought it new. Also on the drive home (by turning it on and off) the tempature gauge worked. I'm thinking I'll start with the float and seat.

I got a 1979 Subaru DL today. Unfortunately it is FWD and Automatic, but the price was right!!!!! It is having a couple problem probably from sitting for a year. When I start it it runs at idle for about 2 seconds then screams like I have my foot to the floor! I used a can do carb cleaner, checked the idle and mixture screw, checked air lines and don't see any problems. Could it just be that the float is not seating and the pump is just pouring gas? I drove it home 4 miles, started it and put it in gear it would take off and start racing, when it got going to fast I would shut off the key and let it slow down, then when I needed to go faster I would turn the key on and it would kick start even though it is an automatic. Hairy ride home but I made it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yes I did meet Raul. Small world.

I need one also. Any link or part #

This is the 1.6l engine I'm building, if you think the parts on yours fit I would be glad to buy them.

I'm interested in a bunch, fenders, doors, turn signal, door panel, gas pedal, trim from under wipers, brown Door handles and trim under opener, and the engine parts we talked about.

I think I saw that rig on Craigslist, I'm in NH but come to Utica often and saw that. I have two Brats I run as daily drivers.

I have a couple, took one totally apart to clean and change the bulbs. They are cool inside with a bunch of springs and pendulum, it works good and keeps good time!

Thanks, now that I search some more your right! Most of the Gen 2 Brats I have seen have the moulded silver round doors, not the flat metal ones. I was thinking it was older.

I ordered a gas door for my Brat from a junkyard and got this one instead, it look right except it's round instead of square? Any one know what it is from?
