June 24, 200619 yr So I busted tail on this brat this week, and after 19 years of sitting got it to go and stop like a champ. I replaced the hood with the one from my other brat, as well as the interior, now all I have to do is deal with the windshield and get it some new tires. Heres a couple pics of how it looks after its SUPER ACCELERATED return to life. Gotta love that funky spoiler thing. -Mike:banana::banana:
June 24, 200619 yr I dig the rear fender flares. Looks real good. Could use a super accelerated paint job now! Oh, and whats with the AMC Eagle in the background? Is that the lifted one your friend did? Looks like maybe he scrapped that idea?? -Brian
June 24, 200619 yr Author No we haven't scrapped it. We just have a methodical way of building it. We needed to make all the lift blocks fit, before we take it apart again and reinforce them and tie them together with tubing. strength is a major concern with this eagle cause its getting raced in the baja 1000. Lemmie tell you, body lifting an eagle is a LOT harder than lifting a subaru. btw, actually I took all the fender flares off except 1 because I hadnt gotten to that one yet. they make tire clearance a problem.

June 24, 200619 yr Wow, my favorite part is the old "KZZP 104.7 FM" bumper sticker! Being a Phoenix native myself, I couldn't help but notice that relic from my childhood. That radio station hasn't been around for more than a decade. What a great blast from the past! Car looks awesome too! BT

KZZP..wow, that brings back some cobwebbed memories:burnout: .
June 26, 200619 yr Nice to see it up and running Mike. I saw you today on the 101 going south. I was coming back from A-town myself. Saw your 77 wagon sitting for sale in the rite aid parking lot. Why are you selling? Parts to hard to find? If so I can say that is what has finally drove me out of the Subaru thing. Good luck with it Mike!
