Jonv23 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I am trying to gather some information for my BRAT. Does anybody have the original sticker on the driver side door above the door opener? I am either going to find another original sticker, or have one made. If anybody has one on a parts vehicle, I'd like to either buy it, or at least get a picture or scan of it. I know it's a very minor, minute part, but when I am done with my BRAT, I want it to be all there, like it was when new. Thank You for helping me.

One,I did sell on eBay,a set of blue door panels that had a VERY nice example of that sticker on it. Two,I was going to contact a board member -SubaruTex and see if his company can produce a contact sheet with all those old decals the FHI and SOA folks stick on before they hit the showroom/lot. "Caution Fan" , E-brake adjustment , "Do not let idle stick...." and the whole lot.. I think guys like you and myself would gladly pay the big ticket for the set up. You know how it is,set up is the cost,running them off is peanuts. And,only about 6 people here would actually buy a set. :-\ Meanwhile,I'll try to carry the camera and see if I can get a nice example for you.

Get me good pictures and exact measurements of the stickers and I can set them up... gratis. I did that for a living for 35 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonv23 Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 Dang, Wish I had seem them. I did get a nice plaid blue seat back on eBay. That is one of the very few things I needed. I also need an antenna.....a crack head decided to use mine as a pipe while I was in Key West! I would pay for the sticker, if someone could set it up and print it. Heck, I would buy the complete set (of the various ones, like caution, e brake adjustment, etc) if someone would make them! Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabman Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Hey I'm the guy that bought those nice blue door panels that Moosens was talking about. Jon, do you still need a picture? I haven't opened the box yet but it is pretty easy to get to. As for the antenna, I need one as well, but I think that you can find aftermarket replacements. You may even be able to use one from another car at the wrecking yard. Seahag, that's a very kind offer. If you are going to make some reproduction stuff, please sign me up for a set. Let me know, Crabman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonv23 Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 YES! Please and thank you for the picture. I think we need to find out about the repro stickers and see about putting a new thread together to gauge interest. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBARU3 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I take a few sets too. I can provide some pics of most decals. Let me know what may still be needed. Todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonv23 Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 This is SO funny, ok, last night I was looking through ALL the bank deposit slips the previous owner used every time he did ANYTHING to the BRAT. There are like 10 slips with dates, mileage, and what was done. I got through that and looked in the dealer locator (I hadn't looked at before) and low and behold the sticker I was looking for, for the drivers door was stuck on the inside of the front cover of that book. It's still PERFECT! The guy that owned the BRAT before me was a FREAK about maintenance. He changed the oil sometimes every 300 miles......if it had been more than a couple months. I am SO lucky to have ended up with this BRAT! Thank You for the pictures though! Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I'd be in for a set of repro-decals for a 1975 and 1980. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabman Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Jon, You are so lucky to have a brat that someone took care of! I think because they were such an inexpensive car, most of them were abused and neglected. Anyways, that's hilarious about the sticker!

ShawnW Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 because they were such an inexpensive car, most of them were abused and neglected. Anyways, that's hilarious about the sticker! Crabman I dont really think in relative terms these were inexpensive cars. And today's certainly are not cheap. Yet, this doesnt seem to be a factor for people they still abuse, ignore recommended or suggested maintenence (doesnt matter if its in the owners manual or the dealership/repair shop), and neglect these cars consistantly. Its sad that finding one that was cared for is a rarity. Heck, finding a 2003 that has all the maint done is rare for me to see. People just do not do the math and people love to gamble because they got away with something for years on a previous one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
