Brat Rebuild. Now with Photo's

Featured Replies

Ok,

 

So as some of you know I traded a XT6 to Sti-wolf for a lifted wagon that was in Less than stellar condition, I then had a friend who knew someone who needed a runner and a driver, he had a brat with a blown head gasket. We made the trade. I towed the brat home. I found an engine, got it swapped in. thanks to a fellow board member. have not really tested it out yet as I also needed a radiator, and several other things. but a friend of mine who cruises Aarons auto wrecking, found a Perfect Dash, with all the switches and everything I need plus a radiator....

 

So with a now empty savings account I have a brat that will hopefully be great after a day or two more work.

 

Engine $200

Trip to get engine $100

Engine mounts and exhaust manifold gaskets I didn't need $68 dollars. Long story, We went searching when the old ones were broken-- didn't bother to look on the new engine. DAMN!!

$150 at Aarons for a perfect dashpad lots of other misc parts. (thanks Sean and Tom)

 

I will get awesome pictures and stuff this coming week...
