After some random guy hollering at my soob i got a lead on a 86 brat that had been sitting for 2 years after the guy broke the oil pump trying to do the seals.

 

she is a fair bit rusty in the typical places, but the interior is in decent shape. the motor turns over by hand despite having sat with no oil and pump for 2 years. motor has 230-some thousand miles.

 

we attempted to tow it home with the towbar, but on of the tow points on the car broke off due to rust. looks like tow rope thru downtown action time! The car is sitting at a gas station on the south side right now. we should go after it right away in the morning before someone steals it for scrap.

drag it to me please

The new Brat is now in my garage and we do need that oil pump. Anybody got a spare?

I may have the old one frrom the '85 BRAT, I'll look for it after work today.

Guess I did finally toss it.
