  1. Well I'm swapping in the full driveline from a totaled 2007 sti limited. And I'm also going to bag it stance it and replace the factory jump seats with water proofed Recaros or sparcos. It's just gonna be a silly awesome sti swapped brat. I really wish the first gens had t tops but I can put the sti limiteds sunroof in the brat which to me is just as good.
  2. Okay so i'm going through the final thinking stages of deciding exactly what i'm gonna do as far as restoring and swapping a Brat. I've decided that instead of trying to find another 79 in better condition than mine, i'm just gonna fix the one i have even though it has frame rail rust in the rear of the drivers side frame rail. Which will of course mean ridiculous amounts of fabrication but i'm capable of it. Anyway. My next concern is the final question, should i swap a first gen brat OR a second gen.. Leading me to my questions. First off, i've heard that second gens are drastically roomer inside the cab than the first gens. How much more room do the newer ones really have inside? Like noticeable enough to make it more worthwhile to use a newer one rather than a first gen. The dilemma is the first gens really look much better to me than the second gens, but if the newer one is drastically roomier inside it would probably be a better idea to use a newer one. So i just wanna get that first question answered from anyone that has any experience it would be greatly appreciated.
  3. Oh okay. So if i buy a 78 i can just use the grill headlights and that grill support part from the 79 and it will look the same?
  4. Hey guys, i have a 79 brat that i was going to restore, but i've decided that it just has too much rust so i'm going to buy a slightly nicer one but i can't find any 79's. Whats the front end difference between the 78-81? Can i put a 79 front end on a 78 or do i only need to swap the grille? The reason for me asking is my favorite style is the two big headlights as opposed to the 4 small ones. Is the only difference the grille/headlights or is the whole front end different? And if the whole front end is different will the 79 front end bolt on? Any help would be appreciated!
