dominical1 Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccrinc Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 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.

dominical1 Posted July 8, 2004 Author Share Posted July 8, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominical1 Posted July 8, 2004 Author Share Posted July 8, 2004 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! dominical1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84 Brat Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 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. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmCeeBee Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 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 :-\ -- Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
