Talk money. Got $1800 into it. Could have it professionally painted for you. It has bed liner below the mid trim-line and in the bed.

so do I go with an EA81 or an EA82? EA81 is going to cost me $1,100. Is this Brat worth putting a new engine in or shall I salvage it out? needs a new paint job($350-$500). not much surface rust. new radiator and front axles. 153,000 mi. Salvage or Rebuild?

Ain't much rust.

I got $1800 into my brat. It's spray painted OD green and obviously needs a new paint job($350-$500). The crank case broke, needs new engine. I can get a new EA81 from CCR for $1,100. To have somebody install it will probably cost at least $300. Should I put another $1800 into it, or should part out and salvage? Would the thing sell for $3600 with new engine and paint? Is this thing really worth rebuilding? Could I make enough off it to part out? Input would be greatly appreciated.

Replaced head gaskets and engine didn't run, so I took it to an automachanic; and he says the crankcase to broke. Come to find out this 86 brat's engine has been replace some where down the line with an 83 engine. Anyway it needs a new engine. What engine do you recommend? I want an ultimate offroading machine with good gas milage. I've been suggested an EJ22 and an EJ25. I've also heard of a Mazda WRX STI engine, but I think it's 2x4. What's the best 4x4, good gas milage, affordable replacement? I'm 17 and I only got $1800 in the bank. I need transportation now. Who do I buy my engine from? Replies would be appreciated
