February 8, 201313 yr Author 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
May 9, 201312 yr Author 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
November 20, 201312 yr 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.
November 21, 201312 yr wow you are putting a ton of effort into this thing, makes me feel like the laziest person ever! but then again, mine is just an offroad toy

June 2, 201411 yr You have made some serious work so far. I cant wait to see the outcome of this project
September 2, 201411 yr Author 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.
