Found this on CL and it seems pretty solid from the pictures.  Needs a Trans but thats easy.  I just want a rust free body to work with.  Oh yea is a '86 brat

I'm sure that's already sold if the body is in good shape.

People usually take down their ads, as soon as the item sells.  It must not be sold yet.

Yea i figure if its still up there is a 50% chance its still around.  I just tried calling and leaving a message.  Id really like some more detailed photos of typical trouble spots.  If all looks good i might be back in the subaru world soon.  

Dude, if it's not totally rotted out underneath I couldn't give him 8 bills fast enough!

Where do you live at hatchsub?

im in connecticut.  Id be down for flying in...doing a  trans swap and driving home.  Finding a solid EA81 car out this way is damn near impossible at this point so doing something like that would be my only way.  That or getting it shipped but id rather have the road trip myself.  

Sold it this morning.  Guy just got back to me.  Real nice guy.  Oh well the hunt continues.

Dang, my wifes aunt and uncle live in NH and they came out for thanksgiving (to Wyoming) and he saw my 80' Brat up on stands in my garage and couldnt believe how solid it was. He said it would sell for big money back east cause all old cars are rotten from rust. Said he NEVER sees brats ever.

The last one i saw on the road was completely rusted out but ran great.  I kno the guy too.  The thing has less than 100k on it or at least it did.  Was fairly solid the first time i saw it.  I couldn't believe how bad it got in just a couple of years.  New England is killer on these old subarus.  If i end up getting one its going to get stuffed into my garage come winter and not come out until spring....kinda like my iroc camaro.
