January 20, 201016 yr Bought this 1986 Brat by my place in Tampa. Took it to my parents' in NJ on Dec 15th and finished it about a week ago. More details can be posted later, but wanted to get the album up! It's good to have family with a shop and complete Subaru knowledge... http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b29/gwsteven/1986%20Subaru%20Brat/
January 20, 201016 yr Looking good speedg25. Nice work! Are you going to lift it or keep it stock suspension?
January 20, 201016 yr Very nice, like the touch on teh center caps. have to say im jealous that my brat is such a rust bucket ;-D
January 20, 201016 yr Author Stock suspension. I bought it so that in a few years I can do a full STi swap (when I have a little more money to throw around). Lifting them don't do anything for me as I pretty much keep to the city and use my car for road travel. This has already made the 36 hour round trip to and from FL to NJ, so it's looking pretty good for being a reliable daily driver for the next couple of years.
January 23, 201016 yr Author This whole thing was rehabbed and the use of this forum made it a lot easier. The rust repair n the rear wheel wells were especially easy to repair thanks to all the other articles and pictures posted from other threads. Next I need to rewire the headlights to try and make them a little brighter. Thanks for the help guys!
January 23, 201016 yr Nice job! Brass knuckles in the centercaps? Or is that ... ? Would love to see it up close in Jersey when we do our little trail runs in the Pine Barrens if you could make it. Cheers!
January 25, 201016 yr Author Yes, those are brass knuckles haha. They match part of a tattoo I have so it's a personal touch.
January 25, 201016 yr Yes, those are brass knuckles haha. They match part of a tattoo I have so it's a personal touch. very cool!
January 25, 201016 yr Those are nice stripes you've installed. Hmmmmm, where on earth did you find them
January 26, 201016 yr Author B&R of course haha. The bottom of the stripe has a silver pinstripe we ran down it. It really cleans up the edges where it's cut uneven in a few spots and gives it a more finished look. Also matches the silver powdercoat on the wheels.
January 27, 201016 yr Author thanks! it was a lot of work in a short amount of time, but when it all came together, it was well worth it.
