strange mirrors on that brat though...
-
the angry look is why i dislike it! each to their own!
-
i say keep thea ea71, but thats just me. if at all possible its best to keep these things original
-
lookin pretty sweet! although i must say i dont care for whatever is going on with your headlights...
-
Got the rear of the brat up on jackstands its all ready to go, got everything soaking in pb blaster. Got one bolt out, then broke my ratchet! So that put a stop to my work for now.

i dont think there are really exhaust kits for these, but if you have a basic knowledge of welding its easy to make your own
-
are both sides like that?
-
-
i could use fenders
-
Yeah i realized that before i put the struts back in, luckily the tops just spin around so i didnt have to switch them. That picture actually makes the camber look worse than it really is, its like 4 degrees off, no big deal. Thank you! It sits a lot higher than i imagined!
-
not if you wheel hard enough
-
gonna get the rear lift done by the 20th i hope, along with the steering extension and the shifters, that way i can take my grandpa out for a ride when he comes up for christmas and show him how far its come! (this was his brat that he gave to me) cant really figure out how to make these shifters work, i want to cut and weld so they fit through the holes in the trans tunnel, but they are stinkin aluminum! so i think im just going to build new ones.

i want to turbo mine just for kicks and giggles, but money prevents that well, rather a lack of money
-
sweet! are you just going to continue running bumperless then?
-
The front is lifted! Man that was difficult haha! The front crossmember blocks were easy, bolted right up, the rear crossmember blocks were different though, i had to drill them out bigger to accomodate the bolts. No big deal, until i got to the strut hats. First, i had to cut and grind them down to fit. Then i had to widen the holes with the milling machine. I ended up taking both the struts completely out and forcing the hats on, then putting the struts back in. Had to beat the struts out with a hammer! Camber is off, but im not worried about that right now, i'll fix it later.
-
rust where in the world are you finding all these pictures?! haha geez, all i want to do is rescue all those poor subies
-
That poor brat!
-
alright, thats the mission for tomorrow. i cant seem to get the strut hats on, so im thinking this will make it easier
-
-
okay so im having a problem. i need to take the struts off, how the heck do i do that! the top is super easy of course, but the bottom i cant figure out. i took out all the bolts and still it wont come out, i dont understand... somebody help!
-
Yeah i guess they do! Haha i mean like lowered on coilovers, built engine, able to do burnouts and smoke the occasional punkI really want one... Ive got the brat for offroad and i want a coupe of that era to make into a street carWell im just wondering because the grill looks different and the rear fender doesnt seem to come up as high
