1978 BRAT restoration project

Featured Replies

Hello all,

 

I just picked up this 1978 BRAT that I plan to restore. Though she is mostly rust-free, there are some easy sports that need to be addressed. From what I gather, they are the usual rusty bits. Anyways, I look forward to sharing my process and will most likely have questions along the way. I have many years of mechanical experience and have worked on a few Subaruas as well as many other Japanese vehicles (I am a Mitsubishi Montero enthusiast as well). Thank you for letting me share my new ride.

P.S. - the jump seats and a roll bar are under the SnugTop topper.

Hey mate, good score on the jump seats too! Hopefully in wicked condition with the canopy on there. 

I too am a Montero fan. We have a Gen3 NP diesel auto in my family. Over here they’re called a Pajero... if you speak Spanish you’ll know why they’re called Montero or Shogun in other places. 

Cheers 

Bennie

It would really be interesting to see how it turns out after the restoration. Good luck!
