turbosubarubrat Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 i haven't worked on this in a while since i focused more on my 85 brat and my 83 turbo wagon but im going to start working on it again once the wagon is put back together. then the brat gets to turn a different color and get put together and become my dads daily driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbosubarubrat Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 got another ea81 so it might go in this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbosubarubrat Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 looks like the ea81 is going in this so... i took out the transmission, rear diff/axels, and drive line. took out the rear stuff because i want to do the under side of this too when i get it painted which might start this weekend since it got moved into a pole barn. actually as dark as it looks in the pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne L Chipman Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Great Job Kiddo, nice place to work, when I was Sixteen I laid in three inches of water during December to do a Tranny swap in a 64 Ranchero. I have thgree Brat Bodies and one rusty one cut up. I have enough to make one Cherry Brat with sanding and painting, one beater and one to customize. If the World keeps going my customized one will look like a mini El Camino with a pointed 69 Camaro nose. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbosubarubrat Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Pulled a 5 speed d/r saturday then steam power washed it. Has either 220k or 222k on it can't remember but it has been resealed at one point. Since it has black rtv sealer on it and the rear shaft has a new gasket Here she is plus a canopy i got for free awhile back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tominssti Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 You have made some serious work so far. I cant wait to see the outcome of this project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbosubarubrat Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Picked up some stuff up for it over a month ago at pick n pull thinking im going to put on the gl head light setup and the gl cluster while im at it. Got a y-pipe for it. Redid the steering linkage. Doesn't bind and turn easily by hand or with the wheel since the ball joints aren't hooked up. Got exhaust kind of figured out. Gen 2 harness unwrapped and ready to be cut down and combined with a 1st gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
