January 31, 200818 yr Beautiful Brats fellas! By the way, how do you get the big pictures in the thread? I only managed to paste a thumbnail?
January 31, 200818 yr waimaks, your Brat is as beatitful as your country Very nice job on the picts!! I am going to assume you are working on the front bumper? What's up with the SuperTrapp on your nice red cou pay? Crabman look for the small box with yellow sky and a mountain in it. Click on it and paste the full size image location into the box Bingo - nice Brat did you paint it?
January 31, 200818 yr Bingo - nice Brat did you paint it? No I bought her that way. I love the color though. It looks great in pictures, but oh if you look at it close up, the paint job is so crappy. I bought the repop stripes for it, but I have not put them on yet because I know I am going to have to repaint one day. I love this thread! Lets see some more! We should put a calendar together! Crabman
January 31, 200818 yr I start on the bodywork this weekend!! Should be done by the time we are sucked through the Black Hole. Yes,I'm joking. But there'll be one back in the stable sooner or later. nice brats!
January 31, 200818 yr I start on the bodywork this weekend!! Should be done by the time we are sucked through the Black Hole. Yes,I'm joking. But there'll be one back in the stable sooner or later. nice brats! HAHAHAHA whats bad is the rust on that brat wasnt as bad as the station wagon next to it. I could flex the entire side of the car if i pushed down on the door when it was open....now THATS rusty!!!!!!
February 1, 200818 yr now THATS rusty!!!!!! How do you guys live with that? Everyone must keep up on their tetanus shots religiously!
February 1, 200818 yr Pretty much. New England sucks. I mean dont get me wrong i love it here i just wish they didnt use salt on the roads. My sedan with only 72,000 miles wouldnt be so damn rusty right now if they treated there roads like they do in Colorado and the PNW.
February 1, 200818 yr waimaks, your Brat is as beatitful as your countryVery nice job on the picts!! I am going to assume you are working on the front bumper? What's up with the SuperTrapp on your nice red cou pay? Thanks Skip. I take too many pictures, so it figures at least a few should be good.As for the front bumper, i think its the supports are a bit wonky. Havn't looked into it too much. The muffler on the coupe, no idea, previous owners addition, just the tip doubles in size and looks kinda silly. Will be fixing that once it gets on the road....
February 4, 200818 yr Hey Skip nice Brats!!! One of those looked very familar!! Hope shes doin well. Whats the update?? All the Brats look great guys, you make my a little jealous. I haven no luck finding a Gen 1 Brat in FL!!
February 5, 200818 yr Here are a couple pics of what I am working on. I haven't done too much yet, All of the paint is 100% original. It hasn't had any touch ups, or paint work whatsoever. I have a set of NOS stripes for the sides when I do paint it. The problem I have is that the stripes I have are burgundy, and the ones on it now are silver. I love the silver on white, but if I can't find a set of silver stripes, I may paint the BRAT silver (would look better with the burgundy stripes). Let me know what you guys think.
February 5, 200818 yr Holy ****!!!! You live in Michigan?!? Where did you buy your brat, because it sure doesn't look like a native Northerner. WOW!
February 5, 200818 yr Holy ****!!!! You live in Michigan?!? Where did you buy your brat, because it sure doesn't look like a native Northerner. WOW! I wish it was perfect, but it does have VERY light spot rust underneath, and the start of the dreaded fender cancer (see the spots next to the rubber bumper corner?) The BRAT actually came out of New Hampshire. I bought it from the original owner (or actually his family because he passed). The man was 87 when he died 4 years ago, and he bought it new. He seldom drove it in the rain or snow, and when he did, he washed it in the garage. It had a topper on it when I got it, and the topper had never been off since new. The carpet and seats, and belts in back are as new. The sad part is he backed into a fire hydrant (the inside of the tailgate doesn't have a single dent in it). I did buy a NOS tailgate, just haven't painted it yet.
February 6, 200818 yr This was my 81 Brat It had the EA81 with the d/r in it. I just sold it about 5 months ago, and the guy I sold it to bashed it all up. I was . Jeff
February 7, 200818 yr I kept the wheels I got a set of Six of them when I bought It. I think they are called D-Slot rims. I not sure though. I heard that they are of 76 wagons. but that's all hearsay. Jeff
February 7, 200818 yr 2nd that. I love the wheels. I have a set of original spoke wheels being sandblasted and powder coated right now. For some reason mine didn't come with the wagon wheels. (even though it's a GL)
February 7, 200818 yr Author i belive they are peanut alloys and come on 74 sport coupes there in the broshures somewhere... i have 2 and have been looking for 2 more... someday ill find them...
