pretty interesting, someone on the nw-wheelers board pointed it out to me.

hey, how come every time I think up a cool project, someone else has already done it??? Oh well, at least Im using a gen 1 body on mine

several people have swapped solid axles under subies, nothing new. not to mention under camaro's, random chevy's....... that dodge neon that was on craigslist forever...

well I meant with the suspension, he used coils like I wanna do, Im building a Brat with a full custom frame, toyota axles, Ford drivetrain, and triangulated 4 link suspension and I"m gonna graft the fun tops from a Gen 2 onto the gen 1 roof

holy crap!!!!! that's awesome. there's probably more money into that 'roo' than almost any one here......heck, those tires cost more than I sold my wagon for

i don't like the fact that it has nothin roo but the body.

 

and beastie,you seriously can't think that y9ou are the only one that has thought of this right?

 

cheers, brian

lol oh I know, I just wish it were...reality is a b****.

i been workin on gettin a project goin much like this for over a year and a half now..its slow goin for sure.oh, and jared.OTT doesn't make a divorce adapter anymore.only can be acquired through inchworm.(was reading old threads )

well that sucks. sorry for the bum info, they used to sell them when i was looking a few years ago. so your project didn't get kanked? i heard a rumor it got canned.

it is still on their site though.

it's 40 bucks cheaper on ott's site, have you called ott and asked?

so you bellingham folks, have you seen this subaru??

 

No, I haven't seen it. Looks crazy though.

Ive heard others had sighting but Ive never seen it

i called OTT and never got a response.4 or 5 times actually.causei had the doe and was ready to purchase. that was last year. i just left a message with them again.we'll see if they get back to me.cheers, brian

had to get rid of the frame i had.but just bought another one.from an 83.after the snow dies down abit and we get dug out over here i am to pick it up.the brat downstairs is already stripped of unnecessary weight.save the suspension.but thats just 18 bolts or so. doors are gone engine tranny out,no interior, no windows.pretty much a shell on wheels at this point.just waitin.

 

i am trying to get enough space in the garage to lift the body up enough to roll the frame in under it in the next couple of weeks.but this snow has slowed me down a bit.i'll get pics as soon as i get the frame under her.that was the plan anyway.

just got off the phone with them at 3:30pm pacific time, they still sell them. presently out of them at the moment, but should have some in stock in the next few weeks, he just needs to machine the flanges. otherwise he said, if you needed them in a quick pinch, go to inchworm.

is the price on the website still valid?(i had an old website saved it was 325 on there)

i see now that it is 395.

inchworm wants like 439 plus shipping for one.did he say what shipping would be across the line?cheers, brian

 

awesome,i'm glad i piped up.even though i was working on dated info.glad we could hash that out.

no, i forgot to grab the shipping info. the $395 should be valid, the $325 one isn't valid.

i dunno how yo can get ahold of 'em and i can't.maybe he'll still call me back.it would be nice.cause i am ready to by one in about a week..then.............. its on.

604-324-6883 shoot, i forgot that was a canadian call... that's gonna cost... well maybe not. it is a machine shop, so who knows call and call... i got ahold of them first try...

That is kewl! At least they kept in Japanese, there's a gen1 brat in Lebanon that is on a Blazer frame with a 350 at least it used to be, I dunno if they guy even finished it, I emailed him about the original drive train and never got an answer

 

ooh, found pics, looks like it did get finished:
