1978 BRAT restoration project

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
