Ken_B Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) I picked it up today from the original owner, its been sitting since 2004. 2TC engine, 5 Speed, RWD, Deluxe model, a $20 junkyard battery, a squirt of starting fluid, some fresh gas, and she fired right up and drove out of the woods and right up onto the trailor. Here's some pics, a deep cleaning is first on the list, then the radiator it suposedly needs, and any other little things. Just figured I would share my little non sooby score. Now if only I could find a Brat like this. Edited June 11, 2009 by Ken_B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch de la Brat Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Sweet find! That would make an amazing drift car or a sweet restoration project. That's so cool, I would love to have one of those... Twitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmorton822 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Nice car. I see what looks like an uncut dash with the original radio and everything! Do minimal mods if any. Those are emerging classics/antiques. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Awesome!! We never find anything like that around here, the rust always gets it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_B Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) Awesome!! We never find anything like that around here, the rust always gets it Thanks for the complements guys. Its got a little rust in the rear quarters but nothing serious, I cleaned it up today, its pretty nice lookin now, and took it for a spin. Found the leak in the radiator, not fixable, and that the water pump is on its way out, no biggie, and adjusted the carb. I have to say I'm likin it, its a great little car especially considering it was free. More pics lol Edited June 11, 2009 by Ken_B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one question not necessarily directed at you...do all late 70s cars have to be poop brown or pea green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
