Well, finally got a 1982 Brat - Picked it up in Arizona and drove it roughly 400 miles with minimal issues back to southern California! Keep in mind this thing has pretty much been sitting for the last 4 years. It needs a new tailgate and rear bumper, but other then that it's not in too bad of shape.
The couple we bought it from loved it, had restored it once, put a new out of the box engine in it that they put about 30,000 miles on, and then parked it. It has deteriorated again from pretty much lack of use. The BRAT logo is painted in a holographic paint and looks really cool.
Pretty excited to start the makeover process, however this being the first Subaru I've ever owned, I need as much help as possible. Also anyone who is interested in helping in southern California is welcome to come hands on or if you have services to offer let me know.
