Do some reading in this sub forum - https://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/forum/18-subaru-retrofitting/

Theres also a couple of people that do lifts - SJR and ADR

Or you could just drop it on a different frame all together 

Rob , or anyone in the PNW , please post a pic of that Brat with all the crazy stuff on it painter olive drab or whatever it is. That’s pretty Mad Max to me. 

As others have mentioned, there are many options and it depends on how you want to go about it. 

There was one in South Oz that was done on a classic Range Rover body. Actually, thinking about it now it was a L series wagon but the principle is the same.

Have to add , there’s likely still an unfinished TOTAL FIBERGLASS SHELL Brat sitting on a Bronco frame in Massachusetts 

Subafreak and I witnessed it. Not sure how many hours the guy had into that. He recently resurfaced but I didn’t bother to keep up with him. 
 

So yeah , options ...enjoy ! 

Well if you want Mad Max then you need an F150 chassis to stick it on.
