looking for a brat:

Featured Replies

Hello folks,

I am new to this forum but not to Subarus. I have driven them since 1986 -

an '84 GL wagon (the wood wagon, rusting away in the back 40 but still good for parts) an '88 GL wagon and now a '98 Legacy GT wagon. I am looking for a Gen 2 Brat, 82-87 in reasonable mechanical shape and a minimum of body rust and NO frame rust. This may be unreasonable as I live in the Pacific Northwest but it is worth a try. I would prefer it from the West Coast area. Any and all leads would be appreciated.

Thanks kindly,

Richard

Ha Ha Ha Is this a joke? You live in the Pacific NW and are looking for a RUST FREE BRAT......Dude, That's the ONLY place you're gonna find a rust free BRAT. Ha Ha Ha....There's one in every crowd.

Richard,

 

Rick is thinking very seriously of selling his '86 Brat. Lifted, T-top, turbocharged, all power stuff that never came on any Brat!

Body and interior in good shape, very minor surface rust in a couple of areas.

Call me at (303) 293-9230 or email.

ok dude...

 

you got a problem... you want a brat and Canada doesn't have any... i have seen 1 gen2 brat... it was grey... by the way... does anybody know who owns it???

 

there is a gen1 rust 81 brat on buysell... do a search... that is the best your going to get... i got my brat from oregen... ask John(mudrat79)... he get mine for me and brought it half way up... but there is a big problem with bringing up cars from the US. they have to pass vihicle inspection... its hard... 1 third of cars on the road won't pass... let alone old cars... new cars fail...

 

i'm still working on my car... but if you do buy a brat you gotta get it from the US... think John has a few rust free Californian brats... that was about a month ago...

 

give him a call... sorry i don't have the # right here with me buy if you do a search on mudrat79 you will see the # in his sig...

 

good luck!

Thanks Emily,

Colorado is closer than Pennsylvania! I am basically interested in as 'stock' as possible but would consider the one that you described.

Thank you,

Richard

Thanks for the information. I brought a '53 Chevy wagon up from the States a few years ago and went through the inspection process, it's no fun!

Richard, I have a 84 Brat in central WA state i'm considering selling. Bone stock, zero rust, minor body damage on drivers side front corner. I have just about collected all the needed parts to repair the damage and will start repairs soon. This Brat runs very strong and is in great shape. T-tops, 4-wheel drive, and the back seats are complete and undamaged.

Call my cell phone @ 509 961 8715.

Just a comment about "no-rust-heaven" in the Pacific Northwest.... This really applies only to Oregon/Washington.

 

dominical1 posted from BC -- they salt the roads there. We all know what that does to old Subs. Too bad, it's the only reason I don't go up there every weekend in the winter :-\
