turbosubarubrat

glad you got it back:clap: i recommend that you put a good security system on the car and security camera close to the car for when they try to steal it again so the cops have evidence.(or you could just get a security system)

looks great:clap: have a 83 turbo wagon same color in and out but does't have plad interior or third eye:mad:

looked at my dads 78 dl and if thats the port by the drivers side it goes to the master cylinder.

probably got old and split then flew off from it having pressure on it.

look for hoses not hooked up and see if you can find where it goes. if that port doesn't go anywhere cap it and put a hose clamp on it so it doesn't leak. and hook up that loose hose i cant tell if it goes on that other port or not from this angle. what manual do you have? i looked in my factory ones and couldn't find that port so i will look at a couple ea71's tomarrow.

tomarrow im going to be finishing up the body work and get more sanding done and maybe a coat of primer. since i finished the exhaust repair i hope to get some stuff done:brow:the repairs were drilling the broken stud out then tapping in the threads and welding a leaking spot just above the weld before the cat. (it was rip from the metal stretching i guess when the brat was rear ended). also i finished taking her apart to paint so i started taping things off. pic update sometime soon.

post them on a site like facebook, google+, photobucket, ect. then copy the image url from a picture and click this (on this site) when making a reply then paste the image url in the box that pops up and do that for how many pictures you have

i like the older subaru's because they're fun to drive, unique, always gets looks going down the road, their reliability in motors, their great off road capabilities. also because i love working on older cars and like having restoration projects. my first car is a 85 brat:headbang:been working on it since i was 13 but its getting close to being done and about a month ago i picked up a ea81turbo wagon:cool:

that is what i thought if doesn't have them it doesn't matter me.

the manual came in the mail today:headbang:im very happy with it:D (only thing it doesn't cover is the third eye which doesn't really matter since i wired one onto my 85 with the dpdt relay so it has a custom setup but it is covered in my other factory manual) anyway i covered the manual cover in a clear plastic that has a adhesive on one side that are used to protect books and such. so no more damage to the front covers and dirty finger prints:cool:but it also helps the manual to stay in one piece because they start falling apart when the get used. does anyone know if this has power mirrors? i will check tomarrow i saw they did in the manual, but im not sure if it has them or not because some one took out the radio console and put in a huge rump roast radio out of a chysler( the control for the mirror i think is on that console)

how much are the stripes for a 2nd gen? i will be interested once i get my brat painted.

you check brake pads? also have you checked the brake springs? have you bled the breaks a couple times to get air bubbles out? my dad had my sister driving his ford ranger and she forgot to pull the rear e-brake off:banghead:so it toasted rear brakes, stretched the springs 1/2 a inch, and wore out a hub.

i believe someone on here put a small second tank under the carpet the carpet on one(i cant remember if there is a little spot that goes down in the back or not because im more into brats). but if it were a brat you could have a second tank up close to the cab under the bed.

forgot about that one (the one with the link) i met that guys dad at there old location wish i had that turbo brat he has.

i think i might know him did the seats look like they came out of another newer car? and did it have washington plates? i swapped canopys with him once if that fits the discription and he lives in seatle/tacoma

i might if it has washington plates because i did a canopy swap with that guy if not i have seen that one go through sandy a couple times

weird must have changed when he worked i know he will never work saterdays though

he only works monday-friday incase you dont know that. i really hate that because thats only time i can ever go his way:banghead:but his parts prices are really high you could buy some of the stuff from subaru for what he wants.

yah its nice especialy during the winter or when its raining or even long projects. have 6 project subies which is going down to 4(selling a loyale and 78 brat) that will give more money for the projects we are are keeping:banana:but we have 17 cars and are planning on getting rid of at least 4 but the 68 gto is definetly staying. as well as my brat especialy when you have over 300 hours into your first car you know its staying around a long time:D

Hood that came with the turbo wagon but its going on the brat but that's after it gets painted Decided i'm going to put the third eye harness inside the motor harness dash is out

looking over the old build thread it looks like it does not have ac but where in oregon you might use ac 2 at most 3 months out of the year so you dont really need it

haven't heard or seen any but there are 2 subaru meets that happen each year in the PNW. but i have have seen some subaru groups around im sure they could use some older ones. or just make one:brow:

nope i dont have a spare only have the one for my 85 and my dads 79 which i both have build threads on here for as well as my 83 ea81t wagon:banana: trust me brats can handle way worse than those hills take a look on utube

i have seen quite a few of these in the past few years all you have to do is keep a eye out for them. thats how there is 4 brats at my house:headbang: my 85 and my dads 78,78, and 79. you can even pick them up super cheap around $100-$350 if your lucky. glad to see another person found johns:clap:there is also a subaru shop in portland that has a lot of stuff has brats, sedans, wagons, even had 3-4 older stage 1 and stage 2 wagons. you should get a roll bar:brow:also you should get a factory subaru manual if you haven't already, they are full of tons of information that is skipped in others.
