January 23, 201412 yr I spy a keg in the back of that brat .. lol It looks to be all Subaru though. Where is this ?
January 23, 201412 yr Where where where where!? I need gray window cranks and most black Brats had gray interior.
January 23, 201412 yr I've been here. That green BRAT is almost mint, but the guy wont sell it. He has about 8 BRAT's. One is showroom new. Hidden in his garage. The others are pretty trashed. The prices are pretty damn steep ($400 for a door), but I've seen some rare spoob out there. It's a nice drive out there in the summer.
January 23, 201412 yr Isn't that turbosubarubrat's back-yard? =P hahaLol. Might as well be. It's johns subaru junkyard in gaston Oregon. I asked about the green brat pictured above 3 years ago and they said it wasn't for sale because John was going to restore it then I'm on portlands craigslist Tuesday and its on there parting out. My reaction was wtf! Why part out especially when I saw it in person it looked really straight and could be fixed very easily since he has all the parts to do. I heard his prices are better now from a few people but back then when I went and was being helped by a work hand they wanted $150 for a tail light and $60 for 1 piece of rear quarter panel trim! So I didn't even ask about a tail gate since its probably more than a door. I called him once on a ea81t distributor to get a price and they didn't know how much they wanted for it and never called me back. I think im sticking to my free to a couple hundred dollar subaru's I find(evil grin) for either parts cars or just to fix.
January 23, 201412 yr I have been there and his other yard . really nice guy. i got my rear LSD diff from him . it was out of a loyale turbo that was crashed in the 90's and it only had 54k on it . got i about half a year ago. Also picked up the neutral switch that mounts above the clutch pedal . that way when i did my EJ swap it could have that neutral signal.
January 23, 201412 yr Author mythic proportions. i got a set of 3rd gen eight spoke steels for $100, good a price as any. i was going to a yard in kittitas for them first but between when i called and a week later they had crushed all but three.. oye. so i went here instead. found word of john by chance on nasioc and followed the clues, glad i did. felluhs are just tearin cars apart in the woods day in day out with not a smile to crack, some real hills spoob.

January 23, 201412 yr Is this the "subi gold mine"? Isn't this near forest grove Or or something? I know of a place over there aswell that looks a lot like this. -Prwa
January 23, 201412 yr yup same place . its in Gaston OR . he also has a add on craigslist with his number. when i was working down town last summer on a construction sit some worker from a different building started talking to me about my subi and said he had a friend with over 50 subarus in a yard . thats where i originally got his number.
January 24, 201412 yr Its around here.... look at the satellite image. I have never been to the yard, but I have been on the street at work. 14000 SW Parmele Rd, Gaston, OR (that is NOT his address, but it gives you the basic idea on the map)
January 24, 201412 yr i visited john in the late 90s, he had rare stuff then, and lots of it. i drove a pickup to his place one morning and grabbed some bits and pieces, he was a nice guy but i think he thought i was someone else. i think i heard about him from richie that owned a shop in vancouver, then moved the shop to portland by the airport.
January 25, 201412 yr Richie never had a shop in Vancouver... he has always been in NE Portland. Started I think on NE 42nd, moved to NE 82nd, then expanded to E Burnside, then moved the 82nd location to NE Sandy.
