My '79 BRAT Project By: SubaruBratKid Background: I was Surfing Craigslist for a first car (perferably a soob) and stumbled upon this bad boy. It's in need of a new or rebuilt carb, but It has a New Engine, Clutch, and Tranny with 10k on all, the rear jump seats, a BADASS "Cherry Bomb" exhaust, a headache rack, rollbar, custom bumper, and a hand grenade shift knob. [ATTACH]10461[/ATTACH] I emailed the guy and forgot about it...until i recieved an email 3 days later. I set a time to go look at the vehicle and after going to look at it, came home with the title and original key, in exchange for 700$. Included in the deal was the old engine(Blown), a used clutch, 2 spare tires, and whatever extra pieces the previous owner had. To Do List (In order of importance): Tow Vehicle to my Mom's House Remove Carbuerator Take Apart Carbuerator Rebuild the Carbuerator (Cant afford to go Weber yet...) Get a New Battery Clutch Pedal Extension (I'm short...only like 5'3) Fix the drivers side door handle (Wont open door from inside) Exterior Wash Interior Clean Take care of the MINOR rust spots Repaint "Headache Rack", Roll Bar, and Front Bumper Repair interior issues (Window handle broke, seat wont slide forward, etc) Repaint Exterior (Color TBD..any suggestions?) 1/8/2013-Day 1: Today I had the BRAT towed to my Mom's house in Portland, Oregon (I live in Vancouver, and the BRAT was coming from Oregon City, so Vancouver was too far to tow it.)

Until then, Goodnight folks! P.S. If anybody could tell me how to make it so you dont have to click on these pictures to see them, that would be great.

Oh! Yea I'm down. Wait......is there free food? Haha Just kiddin. I'm in.

I saw a thread about that...where is Jubitz?

I'm off of Burton and Andresan, but I'm always out and about in Vancouver and Portland. If you see a white BRAT with a crazy looking roof rack and bumper and an obnoxious cherry bomb exhaust. Das me!

Maybe on the street he could, but offroad....no way.

Sweet, I'll have to read up on doing a 6 lug swap next.

I'm from Vancouver, my real names Jacen. I just recently bought a '79 Brat that needs some small fixes and then will run. Build thread will be up soon.

I want to get some different tires for my brat. I will be lifting it soon and was just curious as to what is the best size tire for a 1st gen Brat with a 4 inch lift?

I'm Down! I'm right across the bridge in Vancouver:headbang:

I just recently bought a '79 Brat. Was just curious as to see if there is any way I can lift it. (Pics to be in the "Members Rides" Section soon)
