Ok so I recently found a 1978 Brat in decent condition for pretty cheap. It has the full rear seat assembly still. I'm trying to find out as much information as I can about it before I start working on it, for example: what trim is it, what features are rare factory options or hard to come by, what might stand out as something that a previous owner changed, etc. From the little bit I've learned so far, obviously, the quad lights say its a GL, but it doesn't have a clock or tachometer, which I thought I read is what all GL's have. It does have the AM/FM radio in it though. The other big things is the front bumper and the SnugTop on it. Any information someone might have on those would be greatly appreciated. Lastly, I don't know how to interpret a pre-81 Subaru vin, but here it is: A69L-010816. Thanks

 

I have plenty more pictures, but it's only letting me post one at a time from the 2MB limit, is there an easier way to do it instead of making a bunch of individual replys?

G’day Warren, 

Your brat is the first Gen. You’ll be best to post in the 70’s subforum above this one in the main home page. 

Cheers

I feel dumb, I read it as the year 70 not 70s.

Meh, all good mate. The excitement of a new vehicle and forum to explore, I get it!
