Welcome to the group. I had a couple of Subis in the 80's and early 90's that I can't recall the years of either. LOL. I'm glad it's not just me.

Welcome. I'm in Phoenix too. Let's see your light bar!

UUugh, Well, you have the memories (and some parts) that live on forever. hahaha

Looking good, my friend.

It's familiar because it sold on eBay for $4650.00 less than a month ago. :-( Capitalism. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Subaru-Other-/291648663893?roken=cUgayN

Are you referring to your pic with the Loyale 2.7 Turbo embellishment?

I warned you about the sunscreen. :-) I went with my BRAT two years ago. It was way too hot for me and the whole setup was, IMHO, weird. I figured I was just too old. LOL.

Enjoy. Bring sunscreen! :-)

Looking good. Can't wait to see more pictures.

I love the color. I think it was only available on the 06, as I recall. Welcome and enjoy.

Someone asked me if I was stuck. Ummm, that'd be a big fat no! This was in Flagstaff AZ.

The Japanese Classic Car show was a few weeks ago. I just wanted to share the award my BRAT won with the USMB members. We won the award from Neo-Classic Magazine (Japanese magazine). They picked their favorite from the 400 or so cars entered into the show. I guess it's a pretty big honor. :-) There is also a write up from Ben Hsu at Japanese Nostalgic Car. http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/2014/10/17/2014-japanese-classic-car-show-part-06-trucks-vans-and-wagons/ There was some really awesome and unique cars at the show. But there were only 3 Subarus entered, a Subaru 360 Van, a 1978 BRAT (a member here) and my 1979 BRAT. Would love to see more next year.

They come up once in awhile on eBay and Craig's list (and here, of course) but you just have to be ready with cash and be willing to spend it. When I see them I try to post them here so you guys/gals all know about it. I had to buy a 2nd seat of seats (which were junk) in order to get the frame. But, now I have exactly what I want.

It shows a few Subarus. I kinda like it. http://www.petrolicious.com/cars-and-people-share-spotlight-in-photos-to-describe-each-other

As I recall, the red one was relisted after the initial sale in that link. The description was made a little clearer as to the issues with the car. I think it sold for ⅓ less after that. I do recall the one from an airplane hanger, a silver gen 2, selling for like $14K. I'm sure those links are in the "for sale on eBay" area but they're probably off eBay now.

Oh, very interested in hearing your thoughts and impressions. I'm interested in the Hybrid myself.

Nice. Love a wagon! Good luck and welcome.

I'll probably drag something out there Kevin. Subaru is very much under-represented at this show. It's pretty much Datsun and Toyota fest. But, I hope Subaru can have some presence there for the 10th anniversary.

Oh, it's not a "vert". It's a glued on carriage top. The top, along with wire wheels and the luggage thing made it a Roadster", at least according to the badge they put on it. I presume it was after market. So, you need to take the survey!

This was one of my Subarus, I think it was an 88. Do you love it, hate it or have no feelings whatsoever? Comments about it are encouraged.

Looking for a clutch cable for a 1979 BRAT. As I understand it, there are a few different types. The one I need has a round barrel at the end. Can anyone shed some light on where I might get one? Thanks

Damn, that's super. Wish I could see one some day.

Hummm, no comments or did I miss them? On a positive note, the left side marker light is nice.

My BRAT is restored and I get asked all the time if I want to change the dash. While probably not the worst I've seen, I think the cracked up dash is her crowning glory and I'd never change it. It's my homage to days gone by, kinda like wrinkles on an older person's face.

The REAL gen 1 (in US at least). And, probably one you're more interested in seeing. Gen 1 with subliminal Gen 2 for good measure.
