Cool New Purchase With An Eerie Side (56K, take a nap)


Recommended Posts

Its gonna be awhile before I do any kind of stereo stuff, Ive been stuck doing wheel bearings, ball-joints, and U-joints out the wazzoo these last few weeks. Curt, your offer sounds good and ill keep you informed when I start doing that. Im waiting on when school finishes up for the semester so I can start working 40+ hours a week again.

 

What holds my radio up in my blue brat is a couple pieces of ply wood stapled together with blue cloth, tacky as could be, wires exposed and everything. Luckily I can snag the good one out of the white brat.

 

Bratman how about you upload some pics of your brat sometime, i would like to see your EJ series swap.

most of the progress is here, haven't done much else to it in a few weeks, except fighting the rear diff out of it last weekend, cold weather has hindered my efforts pretty bad,

 

however i did spend the better part of 4 hours sorting out the ej wiring harness friday:dead:

...Mellow Gold was a Beck album, wasn't it? :grin:

 

I do believe so.

 

I believe I'd try a bronze color, it's just dark enough not to stick out like a sore thumb, just gold enough you could call it gold. There's someone on here with a Loyale or GL10 EA82T four door that is a darker blue with bronze pugs, looks sweet.

Thought I could tell people that the whole blue car gold wheels craze started with the brats and they brought it back for the STi. I might do the bronze or I might just do a real high quality white, I dunno.

 

Well there is some partial truth to that...

 

The ea81t cars had gold in place of silver or chrome on all of the badging and side moldings/front bumper. And several of the darker color brat's, like black, maroon and the dark blue came with gold wheels on them.

I had an '83 Wagon that was gold with gold wheels, came that way as far as I know, they hadn't been repainted.

Now that I have seen it, darkening the gold paint used does ALOT to tone down the "gaudy" factor that I typically find distasteful about gold paint..

 

in other words, dark gold == gooood... and I would NOT have thought so, without seeing it. thanks for the fotos!
