turbosubarubrat

saw it today:cool:when i passed u when u where at the stop light by bi-mart and grocery outlet

u can make alot of stuff like that easy i think the ea81 brat has a similar one that would work on the door without much work, i used one of those but cut about 1/4-1/2 of it apart and bent it to make the tail gate work on the 79 brat im restoring:headbang:

i live on bluff road towards dunn road on are Nursery which is on kelso road its called Chatelain's Nursery, the other guy in sandy with a brat is named craig or greg and he lives in the neiborhood by 7eleven

finally somebody else from sandy:headbang: hope to see your rig around:brow: theres a guy with a 83 silver brat that he just put the 2.2 in who also lives hear in sandy

haven't primed or painted it yet went back to school this week so very tired and haven't even got to touch it

i remember u saying u wanted a set of 15 inch peugeots, i found a set on craigslist but the guy wants to sell them with the car or he said he would change his mind for the right offer heres the link http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/3252919610.html

sounds to me like its getting to much gas in the carb. making it sputter and buck because its drowning the carb. with to much gas which is why your smelling unused gas, my brat started having the same problem as yours and its parked for now waiting for a carb. rebuild (maybe spark plugs are not gaped right?)

wow i learn something every time i go on this thread so glad i subscribed the first time i saw it

the carbs. bolt on in different patterns so you would need a adaptor plate or do something custom

your going to need to rebuild the carb. if its been sitting 3 years, my 85 brat ea81 sat basicly 2 years without being driven much and the carb. went bad so it needs rebuilt because its dumping to much gas into the carb. causeing it not to pass deq:mad: and my motor and tranny both only have between 30-40 thousand on them (jap. imports) so your going to run into that problem maybe but if yours only has 80 thousand on it should be fine because they run to 200-300 thousand without any major repairs besides stuff needed along the way;)

the more i see these old sedans the more i want one, looks great so far:popcorn:

fantastic engine work im jealous, the truck looks cool but where do u get in the camper it doesn't have a door shown in the pick(unless your cutting the back of the ford open)

not sure yet but think my dad wants it green but the green we bought is really dark so might pick out another color or mix in white to make it lighter and need to pick up some more primer first

major pick update getting ready for priming and painting also moved her to another green house to prevent offspray im going to paint the the engine compartment to:brow: where it was in the green house above the one it was mostly apart now most of the engine compartment apart/before washing after washing and taking apart the engine compartment the rest im going to cover and tape perfect time for ej swap right:lol: but staying with stock engine to keep original its going to look great once painted and put back together and done;)

get a multimeter and see if your getting juice to it and go from there, and looks like u need a dash cover:lol: you can get them on ebay or jc whitney http://www.jcwhitney.com/dashmat-dashboard-cover/p2020663.jcwx?filterid=d1927y1979g81j1

this might sound stupid but have u checked spark plugs yet? that has fixed one of my dads problems before, my sisters geo metro would do the same thing once warmed up and started bucking really bad so we replaced parts and checked fuel pressure,for vacume leaks, even replaced fuel pump, throttle body, but it was the spark plugs, one of them had the electrode broke off so it didn't fire the spark right and once warm up the geo would run on two cylinders so ran really crappy and under powered with the bucking so changed all spark plugs and it was gone:headbang: another problem my dads has got the ea82 and ea81 subarus to run on 3 and even 2 scylinders but they run very crappy with bucking;)

looks great:clap:

good work:clap:i know getting burned sucks i have a 3 degree burn on my foot and a chunk out of my hip to replace the missing skin and flesh from when i was like 2 years old or so

looks clean from what ive seen so far any pics of body and interior?

looks awesome:clap:any updates:popcorn:

looks great:clap: also looks like i might use your idea for the spare wheel or make something for the bumper like TheLoyale

if u want to get rid of it take these two wires off the ignition once u take off the colum covers and take off the ignition cover

the suspension also adjusts about a inch up in the front (probably less) for more clearance so the tires wont rub if they do

im really jealous now, now i have to get one of those car shipped over hear with the carb and disty or the ee20 diesil with the dual range trans in it sometime when i have money and older;)

get a factory manual it helps alot
