Okay well its a weird title to a thread I know but help me out here. I have been aquiring, finding, making, pieces and parts to build a project vehicle. What kind of project? well I'm not sure yet, I have several options? and lots of things to put on it.

 

Heres what pieces I have:

EJ 2.2 from mid 90's impreza awd(complete car)

5spd d/r from GL10 Turbo sedan 3.7

3.7 LSD from RX Sedan

Rear disk pieces from EA82T

3" lift for EA81 using EA82 rear coil overs

14" six lug wagon style wheels with 185/R14 coopers

 

Car options: All EA81 STYLE

82 Wagon (d/r 4wd with bad solid lifter motor)

 

Got this Wagon from Scoobywagon. Nice shape with one dented door

 

84 4WD Turbo Coupe(bad head gaskets or motor, bad digi dash, with A/T)

 

Just aquired this one! super shape

 

85 Brat ( bad motor, tranny having issues)

 

The original that got me on this board. Custom made roll bar with lights, jump seats with custom sewn seat covers, push bar with lights, and 2.25" catless exhaust with turbo muffler

 

Sooo.... What kind of puzzle should I put together?

EJ22 + turbo 5-speed + LSD into the Brat

lay the turbo Brat to rest and drop the drivetrain into the new turbo coupe

rebuilt EA81 from CCR into the wagon and lift it

 

Whatcha think?

 

Oh and that reducer worked!

I say, use the wagon (a vehicle you can sleep in!)

What's wrong with the motors? If you could get a good running EA81 into the brat, it would be a good backup vehicle/parts runner. Lots of stuff to sell to help fund your project by the looks of it.....

well I agree that knocking the T-Brat in the head to save the T-Coupe is a worthy cause. Soon to have pics of all then you'll see why the coupe deserves a trans plant. I have another parts wagon and was thinkin since its a solid lifter that putting the Wagon back together with another solid lifter motor would be easiest. So I guess I'm leanin towards the Brat. I was lookin for some one to tell me what to do cause I don't like makin decisions(make too many at my job:horse: ). I guess my brain tells me I need to put ALL the goodies on the same car too... never thought to much of spreading the wealth amongst the family.

yeah you gotta share the wealth with the rest of the cars Bill. Cause the wagon and the t-coupe might feel not worthy enough for any goodies if they ALL go into the cherry Brat;) Besides, we can do the EJ swap here:D

speaking of that swap, theres still one piece I'm missing. The adapter plate. I've read a few threads that say some would've rather had a plate made of steel than aluminum, why is that? Aluminum is way easier to cut than steel, lighter ect.. Is it the whole soft metal issue with threading things into and through it? And whats the story with the clutch mod that has to be done?
