Just joined up. I have a 1986 Subaru Brat that I haven't driven in years. It has seen it's fair share of rust in small spots. Maybe a total of 5 per cent. While it was mechanically sound, I will be reading this forum to see about upgrading or more than likely, replacing the engine for serious performance. Wasn't a fan of the stock brakes either. And....there is rust through the rear strut covers on top of the bed(now THAT should be fun by itself!). And some minor rust in the bed and ther rear wheel flared lip area.
So it's on to reading what others have done and look forward the project.
