It's been awhile since my last update on this ride. It's been on the back burner for now until I get my 1981 BRAT finished, but soon I'll be on this project again. As it sits now: I've got the P/S in, WRX brakes, FK coil over suspension in and it's currently running in rear wheel drive. Soon I'll have the AWD transmission in and start building the axles and drive line. After that's all working and sorted I'm going to try and switch everything over to 4.44 gears and install a built EJ25 n/a block. I'm hoping to get the hatch to go 0-60 in the 5 sec. rang if I can.:-\ Veva la Subaru!!!!

http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/80830383/ This is very cool. I want to drive this one really bad.

Wait til you see the finished product then you'll really want to break out the lotion and paper towels.

I've never done it on the gen 1 models, but on the gen 2. I'm not sure if they are the same, but here's a link to a thread that talks about how to do it: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=104791

For some reason I tend to loose interest in a vehicle if it's not a constant project. So when my projects are complete I usually like to move on. We'll see though. I let everyone know when and if I put it up on ebay.

Yep, you just crank down the torsion bars. You know what would help beef up that EA71....? These bad boys that I just got off of ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VINTAGE-RARE-SUBARU-RACING-HEADS-EA63-EA71-EA81-BRAT_W0QQitemZ150390996263QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item2304007d27 Weber carbs, a ground cam & some domed racing pistons. You'd be set.

I'll take one. SOLD !!!!

I'm still waiting too.

Here's what I got. I should have the shirts ready in a couple weeks.

Got the new BRAT stripes installed. How do they look?

I've finished up with all the pen work. Now I have to scan it in and raster to vector the art, then add some color. It will be a four spot color job on dark shirts (black, blue, green & brown) I'll post the design after I have all the line & color work finished. I would like to have these up and finished by the beginning of December. (great x-mas gifts:grin:)

I was waiting till I got the BRAT stripe applied to snap a few more photos. I've just about got all the trim back on. The tires are mounted and on the BRAT. Yesterday I had to hunt down new wheel bearings and front axles. I've got the driver's side finished and today I'm going to put the passenger's side together. Then I'll start working on getting everything in the truck bed put together. I should have some photos by next week. This BRAT is really coming along. I'm still waiting for a gas peddle and heater control valve.

ya yes I know what you mean. I have a few I wished I would have kept too.

The original BRAT stripes were screen printed and mine are a process print so I can't print metallics, but we can make them grey. Let me know if you're still interested. -earl

I didn't think Subaru ever turbo charged the SVX. (did they?)

Swapping in a D/R 4wd is super easy. I think the challenge is in notching the frame rails to fit the EJ.

I have them finished and ready to go. Here is a link to the vendor thread where you can see some photos of them. I only have 3 available so jump on them quick. I will not be making more for a long time. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=104839

This looks like fun. I think the hatch did the best, but judge for yourself:

Bump for edit.

Thanks for the input. I'll be posting a new proof with some changes here in the next couple of days. Also RAugur33 I need to figure out a good time to pick up the exhaust system from you soon. I'm just about ready for it.

You know that you can fit all the junk behind the glove box. Then you can still use your glove box.

Right now I have now plans for a second run, but we'll see what happens in the next year or so.

The stripes should be finished tomorrow. I'll install a set on my BRAT then snap a few photos. I will only have 3 available so people will need to jump on these fast.

I'm working on some new BRAT shirt designs. Right now I'm just looking for some feedback on the design. It's suppose to be a rat fink style design. All opinions will be considered, but if your idea isn't used please don't be upset. So here's what I got:
