There is a gen2 BRAT for sale locally with a totally shot body. Like I'd be concerned about attempting to put it on a trailer without it tearing apart. But it has a decent looking low-height original roll bar, jump seat frame and belts, and supposedly the engine turns over.

 

They're asking $500 OBO. Should I buy it and try to sell some parts, keep some spares, and then scrap the rotted hulk?

 

What's a gen2 roll bar going for these days?

 

Roll bars go from $50-250 depending on how bad the person wants it. Sounds like some good parts. Who else locally is going to by the brat since all the ones out where your at are gone. See if they will take $350 and have some nice spare parts. Tail lights are worth $50 apiece. Canopy should be worth $100.

Parts are getting harder to find, especially for us Brat (Pretty much any gen2) owners. I'd offer 3 for it and park it out back. Be nice to have something to go to when I need some stupid little part, which seems to be constantly.

Parts car. Can't beat that especially if you can talk then down.

Parts cars are a great thing.

I'd do it. Done it a few times actually.

 

If I didn't know better, I'd swear that was my 1st ever Subaru in that pic, only mine didn't have the canopy on it when I bought it.

I'd give you 50$ for the roll bar.

Where you still would buy the campy from you
