bringing it back..............Lifted 82 Brat

Featured Replies

So My Red Brat has been sitting for about the last 2 years, I have got some new found insperation to get it back into good running shape. I need to replace the clutch and a few other things but I'll keep everyone up to date with it, Just for a little something for the offroad section............

 

Here is how it looked in 2004

I know! I'm putting a 4 inch lift on my wagon right now!

Nice move, man! I haven't yet wheeled with a brat or any of the earlier gens...looking forward to it. :)

I think he doesn't want to wheel it cause the body would fold in half from all the rust :lol:

Dude jeff, i am glad you held onto this thing!! I remember seeing it with Todds Brat back at some WCSS's and it was always one of my fav's.

 

Good to see it in the shop with progress being made. Snow is very low impact, and brats are easy to keep warm... plus t-tops in the winter cant be beat!

 

you are making me jealous :)

De-rusting, I take it? Now may be a good time, if you plan on undercoating it too.

 

I think I'd be cool to make a snow-specific wheeler, with an ATV snow plow installed!
