75subie Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 picked it up friday.not really what i was expecting (kappy kind of lied about the interior and a couple dents) it still is rust free and has alot of potential.the interior is shot, but it probly runs better than any other sube i`ve owned. after taking off the cap, cleaning it up, undercoating the unibody, and painting the wheels, here is how she looks.

Subafreak Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Ugly, but clean. That makes my Arizona BRAT look like my first 77 NorthEast BRAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahag1978 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Everyone fibs about the condition of things, when they sell them. Put the Brat decals on her, a little TLC and she'll be fine. Not to worry. It'll work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waimaks Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Hehe, very nice, practically identical to my one. Black steels aye, don't look half bad. I might have to copy you on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zefy Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 WHOA its like looking at my brat in the mirror...(technicaly that doesn't make any sence... but you get the idea...) very nice! mine needs a wee spot of rust repair... undercoat is probably a decent idea!

75subie Posted November 1, 2005 Author Share Posted November 1, 2005 thanks for all the comments guys!i used that rubberized undercoating on the frame. (for all of about 6 bucks) did the whole thing.it improves the look and protects from rusting.fyi, its a pain to get off your hands, trust me, i ended up using gas. i love the way the black looks on these steelies, kind of gives the truck a utility look.going to put some chrome trim rings on the wheels also.the best paint for wheels is engine or heat paint (made by krylon, comes in a spray can) it has a much harder and better looking finish that regular spray paint.
