1978 Subaru Brat
finished up the switch panel today! i think it looks pretty sweet! the main power switch and the starter button are good, but the 8 toggle switches are going to need replaced, i bought cheap ones and it turns out they are complete crap. so i wont have this panel wired in for a while, but as soon as i can get some good switches it will be in use the key is still hooked up so it will still run. also i moved the mounting points on the strut hats as much as possible, and it fixed the camber as much as its going to get. to me, thats an acceptable amount. also, i wont be keeping a strut setup anyway. this summer when i have a job i will get some coilovers for it, so when i build the mounting points i will fix the camber. im thinking ea82 coilovers might be strong enough? if not i might go dual ea82 coilovers or dual vw coilovers. but anyway its good enough for now. oh also i built a plate to cover the ash tray hole, and a plate to cover the glove box hole, which i will be cutting a hole in so i can mount the radio there.

1978 Subaru Brat
so i finally got all the stuff i ordered. valve cover gaskets, main power switch, and push button for the starter. today i started building a steel plate that will go over part of my dash to mount all the switches to. (see pics) i think its turning out pretty sweet, it will be painted the same green as the body. im going to have quite a few switches in there, coil, fuel pump, lights, etc. tomorrow i will get the valve cover gaskets in and the dash wrapped up, then take her for a spin!

diff ratio on a brumby
if the different diff has a different number of teeth on the splines, you have to make some hybrid axles, which really isnt that big of a deal. its impossible to change gear ratio in the stock one, because nobody makes aftermarket ones
