one eye Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Does the AC work? Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 He wants to know if this can be his second car since his first will be the '86 Brat it's kind of weird to see him taller than a vehicle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 no, the AC does not work, but it's all there.... when I first looked at the dash, it seemed "wrong" until I realized it had AC.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pontiac6KSTEAWD Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Didnt realize how much space the older AC systems took. Part of the glove box, knee room, what else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Abides Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 In all seriousness, i thought eventhough run or drive they had a limit on how many you could have. Like 5 i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 In all seriousness, i thought eventhough run or drive they had a limit on how many you could have. Like 5 i think. I don't think so... though if you SELL more than 5 in a year, you are required to get a dealers license..... I've had 8 vehicles at my house before... I only have 5 here right now....

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Do you Really have those Limits? ... I Didn`t Knew... Here there are No Limits to -Almost- Anything, For Example: you can Buy / Sell \ Purchase all the Cars that you Can, and Have them wherever you may Want, without Problem (as Long as you don`t have Troubles with your Neighbors) but the Average of Cars per Family remains in Two...

mcbrat Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Spec Wise: 1978 Brat GL (5/78 mfg date) 1.6l ea71 4 spd single range 4wd AC 111k miles came with spare ea71 and an extra intake manifold/carb. (later ea71 or ea81) I'm the 3rd owner. jump seats/frame are gone. vinyl seats in good shape. looks like one small split in seam of middle section of drivers seat. Roll bar (light bar) is made out of exhaust tubing. needs some exhaust work, and a tire leak fixed, but otherwise drives good. Floors are solid, as are all the suspension mount points and base of the strut towers. (I was really suprised at this being an Iowa car.) I have a "A" push bar I can put on it too.... It was only about a mile from my house..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 It'll be a nice Brat once you repair the body rust, at least it doesnt have structural rot. Gonna be a nice project for sure! -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 cool stuff. i don't know anything about brat's, what makes this a good find (besides being a brat obviously, i know they're hard to find)? In all seriousness, i thought eventhough run or drive they had a limit on how many you could have. Like 5 i think.sometimes there's separate limits for different "category" vehicles too. like only "one untagged vehicle per address"...etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, this one has factory AC (rare), and the frame isnt rotted all to hell (rare in the Midwest) -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 no, the AC does not work, but it's all there.... when I first looked at the dash, it seemed "wrong" until I realized it had AC.... I agree with the 'wrong' comment... Boy the AC takes up at lot of space, half the glovebox and no parcel tray! Still it will be nice to have if you can get it going! AC was never an option on Gen 1s in Australia (other than makeshift retrofit underdash types) Gotta love 1978, in terms of Subaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Abides Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 ok ive got to ask, how much did you get it for and how much are you getting rid of it for. Since its a gen1 brat i bet restored it would fetch a pretty penny. Say, now youve got something to put those gen1 bratrails youve been trying to get rid of.

Numbchux Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 looks like my '78 boy, looking at the body and seats, I never would have guessed it had 100k+ iowa miles! my '85 wagon just about broke in half at 130k iowa miles. but yours looks awesome. must be almost all summer miles.
