I don't know what the exchange rate is, but they go for around $25 -$35 on ebay plus shipping.

They are a ton of fun and you're right, it is fun to run past those big-assed vehicles.

If you get an Ozzified lift, bring it down and I'll help you put it in. I've got all the tools and a heated garage. And if you pull off the 5spd transfer, let me know and I'll employ you to do the swap on mine.

If you're not familiar with carb work, you're better off to just leave it on and get a can or two of Gum-out or some other carb cleaner and spray it through while it's running.

I think Moosens has some bed trim, but he's missing the tailgate trim piece. I'll look for one if you need one. Why a 4/3 kit instead of a straight 3" kit? The back of a Brat can be raised a bit by adjusting the torsion bar in the back. If you need any parts, let me know. I'll see what I've got.

Looks like a good Subaru get together with a bunch of good people.

There is an excellent write up on this very process in the USRM. Check it out. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/article.php?a=37

That looks like me coming down my driveway on a bad day.

It's radical, in a primitive way.

Now, make it happen for real.

UPS usually hires for the X-mas season and they pay well. Check it out.

Man, that's going to look great when you get a set of wheels and tires to really show what it's capable of. Nice job so far.

I don't want to see one, I want to own one!

Thanks to all for my "third home."

And that's why I drive a 1983 Brat.

Snowman had a thread about this about a year ago. Lots of good info. You might try a search and see what you uncover.

Let's not forget "The Chairman of the Board" Frank Sinatra and also Deano. That's Amore.

Good score, man.

It sounds like a grounding problem to me. If only 3.5 volts are making it to the lamp, some volts are being drained off elsewhere. Check the grounds. I'm with Skip.

That's kind of catchy. It should be a popular item.

Congrats on your car's longevity. It speaks highly of the maintainance it's received.

Welcome to the board. You've got a real expert and a great guy nearby in Chef Tim if you ever get into trouble.

If you get stuck, give a ring and Snowman and I will come by and lend a hand. Kelly(Snowman) will be out of town until Sunday, but I've got Fri. and the weekend off.

Good job of restraint. I understand Morgan's point, but it's probably not in the human nature of a teenager to exhibit common sense when faced with a "dare." Those who, are ostensibly wiser, and more mature (more responsible) should demonstrate the wisdom and maturity and not invite calamity. If you call a dog into traffic and it gets hit by a car, is it the dog's fault? (I don't mean to imply that teenagers aren't any smarter than dogs - at least not all of them, but the parallel is, at least, similar.)

Classical - helps keep me calm when things don't go quite right.
