moosens Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I will post more info later,sorry. On phone now , limited , but I've got parts on the way and more in the works from this guy. Still left and dang nice: Drivers door panel with caution label In brown or tan whichever you see it as. Passenger seat like wow !!!! You know the deal like almost never sat in. He will not take axels for me so I'm not sure how far he'll go for large items. More later, but I figured I'd get notice going. This guys says it can't stay, I think the tailgate was hit. More info ASAP. His name is Dave Bighia I believe it is spelled. I'll get his info in a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn69141 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Moosens this is off your topic but we need to get together!! I live in Sidney! Heck friday night I was pretty much in Bridgeport! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Be careful in Bridgeport. keep the windows up and doors locked driving around. Sure, get ahold of me. I work overnights and sometimes during the day too but just try me. Moosens at yahoo works too. Cheers !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 I had an email from David , he said someone asked about the fenders. Hopefully that was you and you get them. I realize it's a yard and they have policies but WTF with crushing a vehicle someone has been buying parts from all week long ????? Everyone involved is making more than if it just gets crushed. Good luck guys!!! Act fast , no , faster !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 I just happened to notice he's listed 3 items on eBay. Carpet - $37 plus reasonable shipping - and he washed it already so it looks like new. Door panel - driver's with original "caution" sticker - $29 I think Ignition switch - no key - $13 Hopefully you can still contact him about other items. I know he has an original radiator that I can't get , tail lights in really great cond. , and more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 And whoever made the guy carefully remove the entire main wire harness only to back out , you really pee'd him off and now he's pretty much done. He has those few items listed and a few more GEMS stashed for possible future sales. Please be sure you can meet a price before committing.

1979brat Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Heater control? I found a heater core for my brat got an blower and cage its the last part i need to go back together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Don't bother asking here. Not to offend , but time is .....almost gone. Contact the guy - David - and he's got items listed now on eBay so maybe you can get him to reply there or use the email I provided and cut eBay out of it. Those heater cocks are getting harder to find. 35K shouldn't be too bad to deal with. One of those items thought , that I think you can't offer enough for his time on. Good luck. I hope he can help you out. Maybe consider spending more and getting more so it works out to something the guy can actually make a buck on for his effort.

moosens Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 Brat is gone but seller managed to retain some parts. Check him out, good guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindSight Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Ended up getting that harness, tail lights, and the chrome tailgate trim from him...just need to figure out how to mount the trim(it came in last night...still waiting on other stuff) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 Got the carb and some last bits today. All in all not a bad deal. I know he made a decent dime for his time , but I Am thankful since I don't have time these days and no 35k brats around here for picking. Gotta pay for convenience and parts getting more rare.

BlindSight Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Yeah im kind of frustrated he wouldn't budge a dime on the harness and that he cut one of the portions of it so im going to end up doing some splicing anyways....but no-one else seems to have one so ohhhhh well.

moosens Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Geez , I thought he'd gotten it out complete. What got cut off? I see myself as having generally slightly overspent but you have to consider the legwork and the fact that I don't have any of these vehicles to pick off of up here anymore. Remarkably , one of the nearly new looking horns I got doesn't want to work. Otherwise everything else seems great and really looks 35K, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindSight Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 the leg that goes to the alternator and starter part. ANNNNNNNND its not the right harness, half of the connectors are different than mine :banghead::banghead::-\. What a nightmare, 2 expensive harnesses and months later, back to square one.

moosens Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Very strange. I'm pretty positive I should be able to pull out a complete 1979 4WD wagon harness soon. Let me know if that might help. Not something I can open storage and grab , lots of cleaning house to do first and no good weather , like today , when I have some time.

BlindSight Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 yeah if you have one for a 79 DL 4WD Brat I would be eternally greatful, Was hoping to get this thing back together and on the road in the next couple weeks before it gets super hot here but id rather do it right the first time. I could potentially patch up my harness but there are at least 30 spots where wires will need to be repaired so would rather avoid taking everything back out in the future to chase an electrical gremline and get something nice and un-patched in there now.

moosens Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 30 spots??? On the one he sent you? Yikes , regardless of which one it is. There really shouldn't be any major difference. Only thing I can think of right now is maybe yours was a California vehicle? When I can I'll check the wiring diagrams on both and see if they'll match. (mine and a Gen I BRAT) I see no reason why they wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindSight Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Sweet thanks. And the one in the car...had rats camping out in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
